Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of capacitive deionization, and particularly relates to an organic small molecule containing a nitro-conjugated phenoxazine structure and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the increasing pollution of water resources, efficient removal and resource utilization of nitrogen pollutants have become one of the important challenges faced by current water treatment technology. Ammonium ion (NH4 + ) as the main form of nitrogen, widely exists in municipal wastewater, livestock and poultry breeding wastewater and fertilizer production wastewater. Its accumulation in water bodies will destroy the ecological balance, lead to water quality deterioration, and even endanger drinking water safety. Therefore, how to realize effective recovery and utilization of NH4 + while ensuring environmental safety has become a key issue of sustainable management of water resources.

[0003] At present, the mainstream methods for separation and enrichment of NH4 + include chemical precipitation, membrane separation, ion exchange, etc., but these technologies generally have problems such as high operation cost, large energy consumption, complex equipment and secondary pollution, which are difficult to balance environmental friendliness and economy. In recent years, electrically driven separation technology has attracted widespread attention due to its simple operation, green controllability and material adjustability, among which capacitive deionization (CDI) technology is considered as a promising water treatment method due to its low energy consumption, easy regeneration and no addition of additives. CDI technology realizes physical removal of target ions by driving ion migration and storing in the electrode interface through an external electric field. In this system, the structure and surface chemical properties of the electrode material directly determine its ion adsorption performance. For example, patent technology document CN113830866B discloses a capacitive deionization electrode material and a preparation method thereof. The electrode material of the present application has higher specific surface area, good pore structure and mechanical strength, and good electrical conductivity, and is excellent in performance as an electrode.

[0004] However, traditional carbon-based materials have obvious limitations in selective adsorption of specific ions, especially when facing small molecular size and strong hydrophilic NH4 + , the adsorption efficiency and selectivity need to be improved. SUMMARY

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of the present application is to provide an organic small molecule containing a nitro-conjugated phenoxazine structure and a preparation method and application thereof, so as to solve the problem of poor adsorption of NH4 + when traditional carbon-based materials are used as electrodes.

[0006] Based on the above purpose, the application provides an organic small molecule containing a nitro-conjugated phenazine structure, and a structural formula is as follows:

[0007]

[0008] The application further provides a preparation method of the organic small molecule containing the nitro-conjugated phenazine structure, and specific steps are as follows:

[0009] In an inert gas atmosphere, hexaketocyclohexane, 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine and an organic solvent are mixed, stirred uniformly, and then refluxed at 120 DEG C for 12 hours; after the reaction is completed, the mixture is cooled to room temperature, centrifuged, washed and dried to obtain the organic small molecule containing the nitro-conjugated phenazine structure.

[0010] Preferably, the hexaketocyclohexane compound is hexaketocyclohexane.

[0011] Preferably, the organic solvent is acetic acid.

[0012] Preferably, the washing is sequentially performed with hot acetic acid, acetone, deionized water and ethanol.

[0013] Preferably, the drying is vacuum drying at 80 DEG C.

[0014] Further, the application further provides an application of the organic small molecule containing the nitro-conjugated phenazine structure, which is applied to adsorbing ammonium ions in wastewater.

[0015] The application has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The application introduces a nitro compound as a main active center of an electron-deficient unit into a phenazine structure to form an organic aromatic conjugated structure, has rich redox active sites, a high conjugated structure and a stable organic skeleton, inhibits the dissolution of an organic electrode material in an electrolyte, and can obtain high specific capacity and stable cycle performance when applied to an electrode material for capacitive deionization, and thus has great potential as a high-performance organic electrode material.

[0017] The application prepares a novel organic electrode material with a multi-phenazine structure, the introduction of the phenazine can optimize the electronic structure of the organic material, provide more redox active energy storage sites for the electrode, improve the intrinsic conductivity, and also can have high specific capacity.

[0018] The application successfully constructs the organic small molecule containing the nitro-conjugated phenazine structure through precise molecular structure design and control of specific reaction conditions, and innovatively finds that the adsorption performance of the organic small molecule without a nitro-substituted conjugated phenazine structure is obviously not good, and the organic small molecule containing the nitro-conjugated phenazine structure obtained from 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine has the best adsorption capacity.
