Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photocatalyst material preparation technology, and in particular to a method for preparing a heterojunction photocatalyst that is simultaneously doped with nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide and carbon hollow spheres, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing severity of climate change and the energy crisis, finding sustainable, clean, and efficient ways to utilize energy has become a core task of scientific research and technological development. Carbon dioxide (CO2), as a major component of greenhouse gases, has led to a series of serious problems such as global warming and sea-level rise due to its massive emissions. Therefore, reducing CO2 emissions and exploring ways to utilize its resources has become an important task for researchers worldwide.

[0003] Solar-driven semiconductor photocatalytic reduction of CO2 is a promising environmentally friendly technology. Under sunlight, using semiconductor materials as catalysts, CO2 is converted into chemical fuels (CO, methane, methanol, etc.), which can not only solve the energy crisis but also achieve carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, forming a green, low-carbon, and sustainable development system. The basic principle of photocatalytic CO2 reduction involves multiple steps, including light absorption, electron excitation, charge separation and migration, and surface catalytic reactions. Under illumination, the photocatalyst absorbs photons and generates photogenerated electrons and holes. Photogenerated electrons have strong reducing properties and can react with CO2 molecules adsorbed on the catalyst surface to generate hydrocarbons and other samples. Simultaneously, photogenerated holes may participate in the oxidation of water to generate oxygen. By rationally designing the structure and composition of the photocatalyst, its optical, electronic, and surface properties can be controlled, thereby improving the activity and selectivity of photocatalytic CO2 reduction.

[0004] Currently, various high-efficiency semiconductor-based photocatalytic systems have been used for carbon dioxide reduction. Among the many photocatalysts, titanium dioxide is widely used in the field of photocatalysis due to its high photocatalytic activity, good chemical stability, safety and non-toxicity, ease of production, and lack of secondary pollution. However, there are still some factors restricting the practical application of TiO2 materials in current research: (1) The recombination efficiency of photogenerated carriers is too high. Electrons and holes generated by TiO2 under photoexcitation recombine rapidly, resulting in a significant reduction in the number of effective electrons actually participating in the photocatalysis or photoelectric conversion process, thereby reducing the quantum efficiency, that is, the efficiency of converting light energy into chemical energy or electrical energy is not high. (2) The spectral response range is limited. TiO2 mainly absorbs light energy in the ultraviolet band, while ultraviolet light accounts for a relatively small proportion in the solar spectrum and has a certain impact on the human body and the environment. Therefore, TiO2 cannot efficiently utilize the abundant visible light resources, which limits its potential in the field of solar energy conversion. In order to overcome this defect, researchers have tried to modify TiO2 by doping with non-metallic elements (such as nitrogen) to expand its spectral response range and improve its photocatalytic performance. In addition, combining TiO2 with other materials (such as carbon materials) to form heterojunctions can also significantly improve the separation efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, thereby enhancing photocatalytic activity.

[0005] In summary, it is of great significance to develop a heterojunction photocatalyst with high photocatalytic efficiency that can be applied to the photocatalytic reduction of CO2. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Add the mixed solution of hydrochloric acid, anhydrous ethanol and water dropwise to the stirred solution system, stir at room temperature and let stand for 12-24 hours, then dry at 60-100℃.

[0016] Preferably, the mass of the TiO2@carbon core-shell structure sample is 0.1-0.6g; the amount of anhydrous ethanol is 5-10ml; the ultrasonic time is 20-40 minutes; and the amount of tetrabutyl titanate is 2.5-5ml.

[0017] The volumes of each component in the mixed solution of hydrochloric acid, anhydrous ethanol, and water are 2.5 ml, 1 ml-4 ml, and 2-5 ml, respectively.

[0018] Preferably, the step of simultaneously doping N into the TiO2@carbon core-shell structured sample using a one-step method includes:

[0019] The TiO2@carbon core-shell structure sample was placed in a tube furnace and heated to 150℃ for 40-60 minutes at a rate of 10-15℃ / min in a nitrogen atmosphere. Then, it was calcined to 400℃ for 240-360 minutes at a rate of 1℃ / min to obtain a heterojunction photocatalyst of nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide@carbon hollow spheres.

[0030] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of methods consistent with some aspects of the invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0031] To overcome the limitations of existing technologies that prevent TiO2 from efficiently utilizing abundant visible light resources, thus restricting its potential in solar energy conversion, this embodiment provides a method for preparing a nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide@carbon hollow sphere heterojunction photocatalyst, characterized by the following steps:

[0032] 1) Preparation of carbon hollow sphere core-shell structure samples based on melamine-formaldehyde nanospheres;

[0033] 2) TiO2@carbon core-shell structure samples were prepared using carbon hollow sphere core-shell structure and tetrabutyl titanate as the reaction system;

[0034] 3) A one-step method is used to simultaneously dope N into TiO2@carbon core-shell structure to form a heterojunction.

[0035] Specifically, it includes the following steps:

[0036] 1. Preparation of carbon hollow sphere core-shell structure:

[0037] ① Synthesis of melamine-formaldehyde nanospheres: Mix 9 ml formaldehyde, 40 ml water and 0.2 ml 1M NaOH solution evenly, add 5.0 g melamine and stir at 100℃ for 1 hour. Then add the prepared F127 solution (8 g F127 + 60 ml H2O) and stir at room temperature for 6-10 hours. Then transfer to a reaction vessel and react at 100℃ for 24 hours.

[0038] ② Formation of core-shell structure: 0.4 g nanospheres were added to a mixed solution of 35 ml water and 14 ml ethanol and ultrasonically dispersed evenly. 1.2 g cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), 0.2 g resorcinol and 0.05 ml ammonia were added to the mixed solution and stirred at 35 °C for 30 minutes. 0.6 ml formaldehyde was then added and stirring was continued for 6 hours. After cooling to room temperature and standing for 12 hours, the mixture was washed with water and dried.

[0039] 2. Preparation of TiO2@carbon core-shell structure:

[0040] Mix a certain amount of the core-shell structure with anhydrous ethanol and sonicate to make it uniform. Add tetrabutyl titanate to the above system and stir for 30-60 minutes. Then, add a mixed solution of hydrochloric acid, anhydrous ethanol and water dropwise to the above solution. Stir at room temperature for 6-12 hours, let stand for 12-24 hours, and dry at 60-100℃.

[0041] In step 2, the mass of a certain amount of core-shell structure is 0.1-0.6g; the amount of anhydrous ethanol is 5-10ml; the ultrasonic time is 20-40 minutes; the volumes of each component in the mixed solution of hydrochloric acid, ethanol and water are 2.5ml, 1ml-4ml and 2-5ml respectively; and the amount of tetrabutyl titanate is 2.5-5ml.

[0042] Preferably, in step 2, the mass of the core-shell structure is 0.4 g, the amount of anhydrous ethanol is 10 ml, the sonication time is 20 minutes, the amount of tetrabutyl titanate is 4 ml, the stirring time is 60 minutes, and the amounts of each component in the mixed solution of hydrochloric acid, anhydrous ethanol, and water are 2.5 ml, 2.5 ml, and 2 ml, respectively. The stirring time is 12 hours, the mixture is allowed to stand for 24 hours, and then dried at 80°C. In step 3, the first heating rate is 15°C / min, and the calcination is carried out at 150°C for 60 minutes. The second calcination temperature is 400°C, and the calcination time is 300 minutes.

[0043] Among them, the selected core-shell structure with a mass of 0.4g, which is the optimal ratio with titanium dioxide nanoparticles, exhibits the best photocatalytic activity; the selected amount of anhydrous ethanol is 10ml, which has the best dispersion effect of the core-shell structure in the system; the ultrasonic time of 20 minutes is the shortest time to obtain the best dispersion effect; and the catalyst with the highest activity is calcined at 400℃.

[0044] 3. One-step formation of heterojunctions between N-doped carbon hollow spheres and TiO2: The above samples were placed in a tube furnace and calcined at 150℃ for 40-60 minutes under a nitrogen atmosphere at a rate of 10-15℃ / min, followed by calcination at 400℃ for 240-360 minutes at a rate of 1℃ / min to obtain the target product. The phase composition of the product was analyzed using X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscopy; light absorption was analyzed using ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy; and the pore distribution and specific surface area of ​​the product were analyzed using N2 adsorption.

[0045] In the above preparation method, during high-temperature calcination, the central melamine-formaldehyde nanospheres decompose into nitrogen-rich gas. As this gas escapes, nitrogen is simultaneously doped into the carbon hollow spheres formed by the carbonization of resorcinol-formaldehyde resin and into TiO2. At high temperature, TiO2 and the carbon hollow spheres combine to form a heterostructure. The hollow structure of the material, the small size effect of the titanium dioxide nanoparticles, the doping of nitrogen, and the heterojunction structure result in a photocatalytic material with a large specific surface area, good absorption of visible light, and high visible light photocatalytic efficiency, making it applicable to energy and environmental fields such as photocatalytic reduction of CO2.

[0046] The specific operating steps for the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants in this implementation scheme are as follows: Mix 10 mg of catalyst with 30 mg of ruthenium bipyridine, 4 ml of N,N-dimethylacetamide, 1 ml of water, and 1 ml of triethanolamine, and stir for 30 minutes under dark vacuum conditions. Turn on the light source and filter out ultraviolet light with a 420 nm filter, stir under illumination, and automatically inject the chromatogram every 60 minutes to measure the CO peak area and calculate the CO yield.
