Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of noble metal nanomaterials technology, specifically relating to a Pd nanodendritic structure, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Metal nanomaterials have attracted much attention due to their unique physical and chemical properties and wide applications in catalysis and electronics. Among them, palladium (Pd) nanomaterials exhibit excellent catalytic performance in many organic reactions. Their surface active sites show high selectivity for hydrogen adsorption and dissociation, which is of great significance for controlling specific functional groups in organic reactions. In existing technologies, some methods utilize alkali lignin-phenolic resins to directly reduce and stabilize Pd nanoparticles in an aqueous phase. This catalyst can efficiently catalyze the hydrogenation and deoxygenation of vanillin under mild conditions. p-Aminobenzaldehyde is an important intermediate in organic synthesis, and the green, efficient, and selective synthesis methods are crucial for organic synthesis. Highly selective preparation of p-aminobenzaldehyde can be achieved through the catalytic reduction of nitrobenzaldehyde, thus providing an economical and environmentally friendly route for organic synthesis. The key is to achieve the preparation of catalysts with high catalytic activity and high selectivity. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes a Pd nanodendritic structure, its preparation method, and its application. The catalyst prepared by a simple and efficient oil-water interface synthesis method exhibits excellent catalytic activity and selectivity in the selective hydrogenation of p-nitrobenzaldehyde to p-aminobenzaldehyde.
[0004] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] A method for preparing Pd nanodendritic structures includes the following steps:
[0006] Step 1: Cut the glass slide into squares, soak them in the mixed solution to remove surface impurities, then clean them with anhydrous ethanol and set aside.
[0007] Step 2: Weigh 1-butylpyridine chloride and dissolve it in chloroform solution, then add 1-naphthol and dissolve it to prepare a chloroform mixture, which will be used as the oil phase in the reaction system for later use.
[0008] Step 3: Weigh the Pd precursor and add it to distilled water to prepare a precursor solution, which will be used as the aqueous phase in the reaction system for later use.
[0009] Step 4: Place the glass slide from Step 1 into the cylindrical vial and set aside.
[0010] Step 5: Take the chloroform mixture from Step 2 and add it to the vial from Step 4. Then add the precursor solution from Step 3 to form an oil-water two-phase reaction system and let it stand to react.
[0011] Step 6: Slowly extract the organic phase and transfer the product to the glass slide from Step 4. Then extract the aqueous solution, soak the obtained film in anhydrous ethanol, extract it, repeat this process several times, and then dry it to prepare the Pd nanodendritic structure loaded on the glass slide.
[0012] Furthermore, in step one, the size of the block is 1cm × 1cm.
[0013] Furthermore, the mixed solution in step one includes hydrogen peroxide and concentrated sulfuric acid, wherein the volume ratio of hydrogen peroxide to concentrated sulfuric acid is 1:1.
[0014] Furthermore, in step two, the concentration of 1-butylpyridine chloride is 100 mM, and the concentration of 1-naphthol is 10-50 mM.
[0015] Furthermore, the Pd precursor in step three is Na2PdCl4, and its concentration in the aqueous phase is 1-5 mM.
[0016] Furthermore, in step four, the diameter of the cylindrical vial is 2.1~2.3cm.
[0017] Furthermore, in step five, the reaction is allowed to stand for 72 hours, and the reaction temperature is 10-40℃.
[0018] This invention provides a Pd nanodendritic structure, prepared by the above method, with a length of 1.5~1.7μm and having complete root, trunk, branch and leaf structures.
[0019] This invention also provides an application of Pd nanodendritic structures in catalysts, specifically in the selective hydrogenation of p-nitrobenzaldehyde to prepare p-aminobenzaldehyde. The process involves dispersing 1.5 mg of Pd nanodendritic structures in 1 mL of anhydrous ethanol, adding this to 4 mL of anhydrous ethanol containing 0.25 mol of p-nitrobenzaldehyde, mixing the solutions thoroughly, and reacting at 35°C under a normal pressure H2 atmosphere. Samples are taken at different time points and analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0021] 1) The oil-water interface synthesis method is a simple, mild and effective synthesis method. One precursor is dissolved in the oil phase and another precursor is dissolved in the water phase. The two precursors diffuse to the interface between the two phases via ion transport. Under the regulation of the liquid-liquid interface, nucleation, growth and ordered assembly are carried out. Nanomaterials with special morphology and excellent properties that are difficult to obtain by other methods can be prepared.
[0022] This invention employs an oil-water interface synthesis method that eliminates the need for strict reaction conditions such as seeds, hard templates, high temperature, and high pressure. The method is simple to operate and has low energy consumption. Furthermore, this invention utilizes a two-phase reaction system formed by chloroform and water to prepare a dendritic nanomaterial at the liquid-liquid interface in one step. This dendritic structure grows vertically side by side at the liquid-liquid interface and assembles into a thin film structure material, which exhibits high catalytic activity and selectivity in the hydrogenation of p-nitrobenzaldehyde to p-aminobenzaldehyde.
[0023] 2) The ionic liquid 1-butylpyridine chloride (BPyC) used in this invention has amphiphilic properties and a moderate alkyl chain length, which enables it to exist at the liquid-liquid interface, regulate the microstructure of the liquid-liquid interface reaction region, and thus effectively control the growth and assembly of Pd nanodendritic structures.
[0024] 3) The Pd nanodendritic structure of the present invention has the characteristics of high catalytic activity and high selectivity. Attached Figure Description

Then extract the aqueous solution, soak the obtained film in anhydrous ethanol, extract it, repeat the process several times, and then dry it to prepare the Pd nanodendritic structure loaded on the glass slide.
