The invention relates to the field of
water treatment and environmental
catalysis, in particular to a bimetallic MOF modified loofah
sponge derived carbon catalyst and a preparation method thereof. The method comprises the following steps: 1) treating loofah
sponge to obtain dried loofah
sponge; 2) preparing a precursor solution from a
metal salt and an organic ligand; (3) immersing the pretreated loofah sponge into the precursor solution, and carrying out heating reaction for in-situ growth; 4) washing and
drying the reacted loofah sponge to obtain a precursor; and 5) performing high-temperature heat treatment on the precursor in a protective
atmosphere to obtain the bimetallic MOF modified loofah sponge derived carbon catalyst. The efficient performance of the prepared catalyst is derived from the synergistic effect of multiple functions, the loofah sponge carrier provides structural support and a
mass transfer channel, the bimetallic MOF provides an
active site and an
electron transfer path, and the carbonized shell layer provides stable protection and interface strengthening. Due to the multi-layer synergistic effect, the catalyst can still keep excellent performance under a wide application condition.
