Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for preparing an ordered porous carbon materials with inexpensive carbon black. The method comprises: dispersing carbon black into a concentrated nitric acid to obtain a uniform dispersion; placing the dispersion in a reactor to perform a reaction by a one-step hydrothermal process; and washing and drying the reaction mixture to obtain an ordered porous carbon material in a honeycomb-like arrangement and rich in oxygen defects. The present disclosure also relates to an ordered porous carbon material prepared by the method, a method for electrocatalytically reducing carbon dioxide to formic acid under ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure by using the ordered porous carbon material, and a method for electrocatalytically reducing nitrogen to ammonia under ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure by using the ordered porous carbon material as a supported catalyst.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a preparation method and use of a thickness-controllable bismuth nanosheet and its alloy, in order to solve the technical problems that the existing metal catalysts for the conversion of carbon dioxide to formic acid exhibit a low efficiency, a high overpotential, a relatively positive hydrogen evolution potential, and a poor stability. In the present disclosure, a bismuth nanosheet of a single atom layer thickness with a thickness of only 0.7 nm is obtained through an aqueous solution reduction method by using a bismuth salt compound as a raw material, using ethylene glycol ethyl ether as a solvent, and using a highly reductive aqueous solution containing NaBH4, LiBH4 or the like as a reducing agent, under a protection atmosphere of an inert gas.

The present disclosure for the first time obtains a bismuth nanosheet of a single atom layer thickness with a thickness of only 0.7 nm through an aqueous solution reduction method by using a bismuth salt compound as a raw material, using ethylene glycol ethyl ether as a solvent, and using a highly reductive aqueous solution containing NaBH4, LiBH4 or the like as a reducing agent, under a protection atmosphere of an inert gas; and the thickness is adjustable. The bismuth nanosheet prepared according to the present disclosure exhibits an excellent CO2 catalytic reduction property.
