Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of inorganic functional materials, and particularly relates to a preparation method of metal-doped hydroxyapatite nanoflower. BACKGROUND
[0002] Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is a calcium phosphate salt with a hexagonal crystal structure, and its chemical formula is Ca 10 (PO4)6(OH)2. It is widely present in nature and living organisms and has good biocompatibility. It is widely used in biomedical, oral medicine, environmental protection and other fields. Metal ion doping can further optimize the performance of hydroxyapatite to meet complex application requirements. In biomedical applications, Mg doping optimizes degradation and osteogenic activity, which is suitable for bone repair scaffolds and drug release carriers; Cu doping imparts antibacterial properties, which is used in antibacterial bone cement and wound dressings to reduce the risk of infection. In the field of oral medicine, Zn doping promotes osteoblast proliferation and immune regulation, which can be used in enamel repair materials and orthopedic implants. In the field of environmental protection, Fe doping facilitates material recycling and reuse due to its magnetic properties, and Fe and Cu doping can enhance its catalytic activity, which is used in organic pollutant degradation reactions to exhibit high-efficiency catalytic effects and significant environmental governance value.
[0003] HAP nanoflower is a three-dimensional flower-like architecture formed by self-assembly of nanosheets or nanorods. The nanoflower structure imparts the material with high specific surface area and multi-level pores, higher surface energy and active site density, and also enhances the mechanical toughness of the material, avoiding problems such as easy agglomeration of nanoparticles and poor dispersibility of nanorods. Patent CN102556993A dissolves calcium nitrate tetrahydrate and diammonium hydrogen phosphate in a dilute nitric acid solution, and then simultaneously drops into a urea solution, controls the pH to be 3-6, and obtains a three-dimensional nanoflower HAP composed of one-dimensional nanorods and two-dimensional nanobands through hydrothermal reaction. Patent CN108004527A adds a calcium source, a phosphorus source and a zinc source into water, adjusts the pH value to 9-11, and obtains zinc-doped HAP nanoflower through hydrothermal reaction in the presence of EDTA-2Na. The above two nanoflower synthesis methods both need to control the pH range in advance, and are not suitable for synthesizing other metal-doped HAP nanoflowers, so the application range is limited.

[0009] Further, in step (2), the urea content in the system is 0.05 - 2.10 M.
[0010] Further, in step (2), the L-histidine content in the system is 0.01 - 0.10 mM.
[0011] Further, in step (2), the stirring speed is 100 - 900 rpm, and the reaction time is 5 - 30 min.
[0012] Further, in step (3), the mechanical stirring speed during the hydrothermal reaction is 50 - 150 rpm, the hydrothermal reaction temperature is 60 - 200℃, and the hydrothermal reaction time is 2 - 24 h.

[0015] Further, in step (4), the drying temperature of the nanoflower HAP is 50 - 100℃, and the drying time is 2 - 24 h.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages: (1) The nanoflower HAP prepared by the present application is directly assembled from nanosheets, and the type of doped metal can be customized. (2) In the present application, calcium salt and metal salt are simultaneously dispersed in water, which is conducive to the uniform embedding of metal ions into the HAP crystal lattice; the acid phosphate salt avoids the precipitation of metal ions due to the sudden change of pH, and realizes the synergistic control of doping and crystallization; urea inhibits the longitudinal growth of crystals along the c-axis, forming sheet-shaped HAP, which is conducive to the direct assembly into nanoflower HAP; L-histidine further induces the formation of sheet-shaped HAP.

After the reaction was completed, the mixture was centrifuged at 6000 rpm for 5 min, washed with ultrapure water and ethanol, and dried at 100°C for 4 h to obtain magnesium-doped hydroxyapatite nanoflowers. As can be seen from the SEM of Figure 2 , the nanoflowers were directly assembled from nanosheets, and the point scanning magnesium doping amount was 1.72 ± 0.08%. XRD, as shown in , contained a characteristic absorption peak of HAP.
[0034] Example 2 0.0159 mol of calcium nitrate and 0.0008 mol of iron nitrate nine hydrate were dispersed into 100 mL of water and stirred uniformly; 0.010 mol of diammonium hydrogen phosphate, 0.06 mol of urea and 0.002 mol of L-histidine were sequentially added, and the reaction was stirred at 400 rpm for 25 min. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was placed into a hydrothermal reaction kettle, and hydrothermal reaction was carried out at 120°C for 5 h while being mechanically stirred at 100 rpm. After the reaction was completed, centrifugation was carried out at 7000 rpm for 3 min, and washing was carried out with ultrapure water and ethanol, and drying was carried out at 80°C for 6 h to obtain iron-doped hydroxyapatite nanoflowers. Figure 3 As can be seen from the SEM of FIG. 1, the nanoflowers are directly assembled from nanosheets. Figure 4 As shown in the FTIR of FIG. 2, the characteristic groups of HAP are contained.
[0035] Example 3 3.718 g of phosphogypsum and 0.0005 mol of anhydrous zinc acetate were dispersed into 100 mL of water and stirred uniformly; 0.010 mol of sodium dihydrogen phosphate, 0.08 mol of urea and 0.004 mol of L-histidine were sequentially added, and the reaction was stirred at 600 rpm for 15 min. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was placed into a hydrothermal reaction kettle, and hydrothermal reaction was carried out at 130°C for 6 h while being mechanically stirred at 120 rpm. After the reaction was completed, centrifugation was carried out at 6500 rpm for 8 min, and washing was carried out with ultrapure water and ethanol, and drying was carried out at 70°C for 10 h to obtain zinc-doped hydroxyapatite nanoflowers. Figure 5 As can be seen from the SEM of FIG. 3, the nanoflowers are directly assembled from nanosheets.
[0036] Example 4 0.009 mol of calcium sulfate and 0.001 mol of copper sulfate five hydrate were dispersed into 100 mL of water and stirred uniformly; 0.015 mol of calcium hydrogen phosphate, 0.02 mol of urea and 0.001 mol of L-histidine were sequentially added, and the reaction was stirred at 700 rpm for 10 min.
