Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of functional nanomaterials and technology, specifically a carbon material co-doped with iron carbide and nitrogen-coordinated iron containing nitrogen and graphene, as well as its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of nanomaterials technology, its application in the field of environmental functional materials has attracted widespread attention from scholars. Among them, graphene, due to its excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, high electron mobility, and good stability, has been widely used in environmental pollution control, and there are already examples of site remediation. However, using graphene alone for remediation has problems such as high cost and limited catalytic activity leading to a slow remediation process.

[0003] In recent years, graphene materials doped with heteroatoms (including S, N, P, and other metals) have been widely used because they can effectively break the spline structure of graphene. 2 The structure allows electrons on the carbon plane to easily delocalize, resulting in many excellent properties, such as stronger conductivity and better catalytic performance. Compared with non-metallic element doping, metallic elements often have better catalytic activity. Co-doping of metallic and non-metallic elements may form a metallic element structure with extremely high activity of non-metallic element coordination, but this structure has obvious stability defects.

[0004] Patent CN116914163A discloses an Fe-NC catalyst, its preparation method, and its applications. This catalyst utilizes hydrotalcite as a template to construct a graphene-like two-dimensional sheet-like carbon nanomaterial, but the raw material, heme, is extremely expensive. Addressing the problems of the aforementioned patent, and to further improve the stability and catalytic activity of the metal element structure coordinated with non-metallic elements, this paper proposes developing a novel carbon material with excellent stability and catalytic activity using inexpensive chitin, which possesses a natural and unique three-dimensional network structure. This is of great significance for solving the problems of high graphene consumption and severe environmental pollution, as well as promoting the rational application of such materials in environmental governance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a carbon material co-doped with nitrogen and graphene by iron carbide and nitrogen-coordinated iron, as well as its preparation method and application.

[0006] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing nitrogen-containing and graphene-containing carbon materials co-doped with iron carbide and nitrogen-coordinated iron, comprising the following steps:

[0008] Step 1: Place the chitosan in an agate mortar and grind it briefly until it becomes powder.

[0009] Step 2: Place ferric chloride hexahydrate into an agate mortar containing chitin;

[0010] Step 3: Grind and mix the substances from Step 1 and Step 2 thoroughly;

[0011] Step 4: Place the mixture obtained from grinding in Step 3 into a quartz boat, and purge the internal pipes of the tube furnace with nitrogen for 20 minutes to purge all air from the pipes;

[0012] Step 5: Calcine the material in a tube furnace, then cool it to room temperature and remove it.

[0013] Step 6: Simply grind the solid obtained in Step 5, and then wash it three times each with water and ethanol;

[0014] Step 7: Place the material obtained in Step 6 into a vacuum drying oven to dry.

[0015] Step 8: Grind the dried material prepared in Step 7 into a uniform powder to obtain a carbon material co-doped with nitrogen and graphene by iron carbide and nitrogen-coordinated iron.

[0016] Furthermore, the trivalent iron salt mentioned in step two includes either ferric chloride hexahydrate or ferric nitrate nonahydrate.

[0017] Furthermore, the mass ratio of ferric salt to chitin is 0.0005 to 0.01:1.

[0018] Furthermore, in step five, the calcination process involves heating the temperature to 750–850°C at a rate of 4–5°C / min and maintaining it for 1.5–2.5 hours.

[0019] Furthermore, in step seven, the vacuum drying temperature is 30℃~80℃, and the time is 16~32h.

[0020] Secondly, the present invention provides a carbon material containing nitrogen and graphene co-doped with iron carbide and nitrogen-coordinated iron prepared by the above method.

[0021] Thirdly, the present invention provides an application of a carbon material co-doped with iron carbide and nitrogen-coordinated iron containing nitrogen and graphene, wherein the carbon material co-doped with iron carbide and nitrogen-coordinated iron containing nitrogen and graphene can be used for the efficient degradation of naproxen.

[0022] This application includes the following steps:

[0023] (1) Dissolve naproxen in a beaker and dilute to volume in a volumetric flask to obtain a naproxen contaminated solution;

[0024] (2) The carbon material containing nitrogen and graphene co-doped with iron carbide and nitrogen-coordinated iron is placed into the conical flask containing naproxen contaminant in step (1) and magnetically stirred for 5 to 30 minutes.

[0025] (3) Add potassium persulfate (PMS) reagent to the conical flask containing the carbon material and pollutants in step (2), and continue to stir magnetically for 12-15 minutes. The remaining concentration of naproxen reflects the degradation effect of the carbon material containing nitrogen and graphene co-doped with iron carbide and nitrogen-coordinated iron.

[0026] Furthermore, the concentration of naproxen in the naproxen-contaminated solution described in step (1) is 5–10 mg / L.

[0027] Furthermore, in step (2), the amount of carbon material containing nitrogen and graphene co-doped with iron carbide and nitrogen-coordinated iron is 0.1 to 0.25 g / L.

[0028] Furthermore, the amount of PMS reagent added in step (3) is 0.1 to 0.8 mM.

[0029] This invention uses ferric chloride hexahydrate as the iron source and chitin as the nitrogen and carbon source, employing a post-trivalent iron-nitrogen coordination strategy to synthesize a nitrogen- and graphene-co-doped carbon material containing nitrogen and graphene through a simple one-step method. This material exhibits a two-dimensional layered structure. The method of this invention has the following advantages: First, the self-doping of chitin with nitrogen not only eliminates the need for an additional nitrogen source but also effectively improves the conductivity and catalytic performance of the graphene material. Second, chitin, with its natural and unique three-dimensional network structure, provides a favorable environment for subsequent metal coordination. Furthermore, the simultaneously generated iron carbide improves the stability and catalytic activity of the nitrogen-co-doped iron, demonstrating the three-in-one design principle. This invention provides a new construction approach and technical method reference for similar co-doped nanomaterials.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0031] (1) The present invention uses a one-step method to prepare carbon materials containing nitrogen and graphene co-doped with iron carbide and nitrogen-coordinated iron, which is simple and easy to operate.

[0032] (2) The present invention uses chitin, which has a natural and special three-dimensional network structure, as raw material. It can not only achieve nitrogen self-doping without the need for an additional nitrogen source, but also provide an excellent environment for the coordination of iron.

[0033] (3) The method of the present invention can simultaneously achieve the doping of iron carbide, nitrogen-coordinated iron and nitrogen.

[0034] (4) The method of the present invention will not cause iron pollution due to the introduction of iron salts.

[0035] (5) The material prepared by the present invention has excellent catalytic performance of nitrogen-coordinated iron, and its stability is also improved.

[0036] (6) The material prepared by the present invention can efficiently remove naproxen from water and can completely degrade naproxen (removal rate 100%) in a short time (12-15 min), which has application prospects in the field of sewage treatment. Attached Figure Description

The suspension was then drop-coated onto the surface of a glassy carbon electrode. After natural drying, cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and Tafel curves were performed in a three-electrode electrolytic cell using 0.2 M Na2SO4 as the electrolyte.

[0108] Application Example 6: Naproxen Removal Experiment

[0109] Take 10 mg of each of the materials (GCN, Fe3C / Fe-N) prepared in Comparative Example 1 and Examples 1 to 4 respectively. x @GCN5, Fe3C / Fe-N x @GCN25, Fe3C / Fe-N x @GCN50 and Fe3C / Fe-N x The reagent (@GCN100) was placed in 50 mL of 10 mg / L naproxen solution. The mixture was sonicated for 60 s, then stirred for 30 min to establish adsorption-desorption equilibrium. Subsequently, 0.4 mM PMS reagent was added, and 1.5 mL of the reaction solution was extracted using a syringe at predetermined time intervals. The solution was then filtered through a 0.22 μm microfiltration filter into a brown reagent bottle containing 50.0 μL of 0.6 M Na2S2O3·5H2O solution to terminate the reaction. Further analysis was performed using liquid chromatography. A pure PMS solution without any catalyst was used as a blank control group. The concentration changes of naproxen during the reaction were shown in the figure. Figure 6 As shown.

[0110] from Figure 6 It can be seen that, in the absence of any catalyst, PMS alone has a very limited ability to degrade naproxen. The concentration of naproxen is significantly higher in nitrogen- and graphene-co-doped carbon materials (Fe3C / Fe-N) with iron carbide and nitrogen-coordinated iron. x In the reaction system of @GCN), the temperature drops very rapidly, sometimes completely within 12 minutes. This contrasts sharply with pure nitrogen-containing carbon and graphene, fully demonstrating the advantages and practical application potential of co-doping with iron carbide and nitrogen-coordinated iron in the treatment of naproxen pollution. Figure 6 It can also be seen that with the increase of iron ion concentration, the degradation rate of naproxen by nitrogen- and graphene-co-doped carbon materials containing iron carbide and nitrogen-coordinated iron accelerates. (Fe3C / Fe-N) x@GCN100 is the best choice because iron ions initially coordinate with nitrogen on the carbon material. Excess iron will appear in the form of iron carbide, and together with nitrogen-coordinated iron, it will enhance the catalyst's activity against PMS, thereby promoting the degradation of naproxen by free radicals or non-free radicals.
