Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the fields of catalytic chemistry and environmental chemistry, specifically relating to a Pt1 / Co3O4 / GCN catalyst for photothermal synergistic catalytic oxidation of VOCs in the catering industry and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Restaurant fumes have become a significant source of urban air pollution. These fumes primarily consist of particulate matter, water vapor, and VOCs. The VOCs are complex, encompassing alkanes with five or more carbon atoms (such as heptane and octane), aromatic hydrocarbons (such as benzene and toluene), and oxygen-containing VOCs (such as acrolein, hexanal, and pentanal). These substances are highly irritating and carcinogenic, posing serious health risks.

[0003] Currently used oil fume treatment technologies, such as electrostatic deposition and mechanical filtration, can effectively remove particulate matter from oil fumes, but their purification effect on VOCs is unsatisfactory. Thermocatalytic oxidation technology, as the mainstream technology for VOCs treatment, still suffers from reliance on fossil fuels and high energy consumption. While photocatalysis technology has significant advantages such as low energy consumption and direct utilization of solar energy, it still faces challenges in practical applications, including high recombination rates of photogenerated carriers, low degradation efficiency for long-chain alkanes, and poor water resistance. Photothermal synergistic catalysis technology combines the core advantages of photocatalysis and thermocatalysis, utilizing solar energy to drive the reaction and enhancing reaction rate and selectivity under moderate heating conditions, making it an effective way to achieve efficient VOCs degradation and carbon emission reduction. However, photothermal synergistic catalysis currently faces the following challenges: limited catalyst response range to broad-spectrum light; low efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pair separation; insufficient adsorption and activation capacity for complex VOCs molecules; and an unclear mechanism of photothermal synergy. Therefore, there is an urgent need to construct broad-spectrum light-absorbing and highly efficient thermocatalytic materials, optimize the reaction interface design, strengthen the photothermal synergy mechanism, and break through efficiency bottlenecks in order to promote industrial applications.

[0004] Co3O4 spinel oxide is widely used in the thermocatalytic oxidation of VOCs due to its excellent redox properties and thermal stability. However, traditional Co3O4 is mostly in the form of dense nanoparticles or nanowires, relying solely on surface active sites for interaction with reactants, resulting in poor accessibility of internally dispersed active sites. The emergence of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has provided a new approach to solving this problem. Prussian blue analogues (PBAs), as a unique type of MOF, possess an open three-dimensional porous structure. During controlled calcination, the organic framework (cyanide ions) of PBAs is removed, while the framework topology of the precursor is fully inherited, ultimately leading to the derivation of Co3O4 nanoblocks with complex and interconnected three-dimensional channels. Therefore, Co3O4 derived from PBAs can not only promote mass transfer between reactants and products, but its surface porous structure can also provide single-atom anchoring sites. Furthermore, by precisely controlling the synthesis conditions of PBA precursors, PBA products with different morphologies and sizes can be prepared. These precursors retain their morphological characteristics completely after calcination, thus enabling precise "top-down" design of the final Co3O4 catalyst morphology and structure. Therefore, this study, through the pre-design of a multifunctional catalytic platform, lays a crucial structural foundation for the subsequent successful construction of the Pt1 / Co3O4 / GCN ternary composite system and the achievement of excellent photothermal synergistic catalytic performance.

[0005] Graphitic carbon nitride (GCN) is a non-metallic semiconductor photocatalytic material with excellent visible light response and chemical stability. However, it suffers from low photogenerated carrier separation efficiency, resulting in limited photocatalytic activity when used alone. Notably, GCN and Co3O4 have matched band structures, enabling efficient separation of photogenerated carriers through heterojunction construction. Furthermore, GCN's two-dimensional ultrathin sheet properties serve as an effective support, ensuring high dispersion and close contact between Co3O4 and Pt single atoms, thereby enhancing the synergistic effect between the components. In addition, the resulting heterointerface itself may also become a highly active thermocatalytic site.

[0006] Single-atom catalysts (SACs) exhibit great potential in enhancing adsorption, promoting O2 activation, and improving catalytic selectivity due to their extremely high atomic utilization and unique electronic structure. Therefore, in a Co3O4 / GCN heterojunction system, Pt single atoms were precisely anchored onto the surface of a Co3O4 cubic block using an in-situ ice crystal-assisted photoreduction method. This Pt single atom acts as an effective "electron bridge," significantly promoting the capture and migration of photogenerated electrons, thereby activating and cascading the Pt1 / Co3O4 / GCN ternary system. Under relatively low temperature and weak light intensity conditions, this catalyst demonstrates highly efficient and stable purification capabilities for high-concentration, large-molecule volatile organic compounds, achieving efficient synergy between light and heat energy.

[0007] This study is the first to design a novel catalyst, Pt1 / Co3O4 / GCN, and validates its excellent performance in the photothermal synergistic catalytic oxidation of high-concentration macromolecular VOCs (such as heptane and octane). Currently, there are no similar catalyst systems reported in the field of pollutant treatment. Throughout the entire process of catalyst preparation and application, this study adheres to the principles of green and sustainable chemistry, aiming to solve the problem of high energy consumption in traditional thermocatalysis by utilizing solar energy, a clean energy source. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The present invention aims to provide a highly active, highly stable catalytic material with excellent photothermal synergistic effect for the efficient purification of typical VOCs in catering fumes, such as macromolecular alkanes (heptane, octane, etc.), enabling the complete oxidation of high concentrations of VOCs under relatively low temperature and weak light intensity conditions, and exhibiting long-term cycle stability and water resistance.

[0009] A Pt1 / Co3O4 / GCN catalyst for photothermal synergistic catalytic oxidation of VOCs in the catering industry and its preparation method are disclosed below. (1) Preparation of two-dimensional ultrathin graphitic carbon nitride (GCN): Melamine was weighed into a crucible and calcined in a muffle furnace. The temperature was increased from room temperature to 550 ℃ at a heating rate of 1 ℃ / min and held for 4 h to obtain a bulk material of graphitic carbon nitride. After grinding it into powder, it was subjected to segmented heat treatment: first, the temperature was increased to 550 ℃ at room temperature at a heating rate of 1 ℃ / min and held for 2 h. After that, it was cooled to room temperature and calcined again under the same conditions for 2 h to finally obtain two-dimensional ultrathin GCN nanosheets. (2) Preparation of CoCo-PBA and its derivative Co3O4: Using cobalt salt and potassium cobalt cyanide as raw materials, firstly, Co(NO3)3·6H2O was dissolved in deionized water and ultrasonically dispersed to obtain solution A; then, K3[Co(CN)6] and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were dissolved in deionized water sequentially and ultrasonically stirred until dissolved to obtain solution B; under continuous stirring, solution A was slowly added dropwise to solution B, and stirring was continued at room temperature for 3.5 h. The resulting mixture was allowed to stand and age overnight, and finally washed three times with water and three times with alcohol, and dried at 80 °C to obtain the Co precursor of Prussian blue, namely CoCo-PBA precursor.

[0010] Further optimization: Solution A consists of 25 mL of deionized water for every 2.25 mmol Co(NO3)3·6H2O, and Solution B consists of 1 g of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and 25 mL of deionized water for every 5 mmol K3[Co(CN)6]. After Solution A is slowly added dropwise to Solution B, 5 mmol K3[Co(CN)6] is added dropwise for every 2.25 mmol Co(NO3)3·6H2O.

[0011] Nanobulb Co3O4 was prepared by the Prussian blue analogue (PBAs) self-sacrificial template method. Specifically, the CoCo-PBA precursor was placed in a crucible, and the muffle furnace was heated from room temperature to 400℃ at a heating rate of 1 °C / min and held for 2 h to obtain Co3O4 nanobulbs. (3) Preparation of Co3O4 / GCN heterojunction: Co3O4 nanobulbs were loaded onto the surface of GCN using ultrasound-assisted electrostatic self-assembly technology to form a heterojunction structure. Specifically, Co3O4 was ultrasonically dispersed in ethanol, denoted as suspension A; GCN was ultrasonically dispersed in ethanol, denoted as suspension B; suspension B was slowly added dropwise to suspension A under continuous stirring, and the mixture was stirred continuously at room temperature for 24 h to complete the loading process; finally, the product was washed three times with water and three times with alcohol, and dried at 80 °C to obtain the Co3O4 / GCN heterojunction.

[0012] The mass ratio of Co3O4 to GCN is 1-10%, preferably 5%.

[0013] (4) Preparation of single-atom Pt dispersed Pt1 / Co3O4 / GCN ternary composite catalyst: In-situ ice crystal-assisted photoreduction was used to reduce the Pt precursor to Pt single atoms (Pt1) and anchor them on the surface of Co3O4 nanoblocks. First, the Co3O4 / GCN heterojunction was weighed and ultrasonically dispersed in deionized water. H2PtCl6 solution was added under continuous stirring, and stirring was continued for 10 min. Then, the above mixed suspension was transferred to a centrifuge tube and rapidly frozen into solid ice crystals with liquid nitrogen. Under frozen conditions, it was irradiated with a 300 W xenon lamp until the ice crystals were completely melted. The obtained product was washed with water and alcohol three times each, and dried at 80 °C to obtain the Pt1 / Co3O4 / GCN catalyst.

[0014] The loading of Pt is adjusted according to the relationship between the amount of Co3O4 / GCN and H2PtCl6, with the mass percentage of Pt to Co3O4 / GCN being 0.1-0.3%, preferably 0.2%.

[0015] 0.1Pt1 / Co3O4 / GCN (referred to as 0.1% theoretical loading), 0.2Pt1 / Co3O4 / GCN (0.2% theoretical loading), 0.25Pt1 / Co3O4 / GCN (0.25% theoretical loading), and 0.3Pt1 / Co3O4 / GCN (0.3% theoretical loading).

[0016] The Pt1 / Co3O4 / GCN catalyst obtained in this invention provides a photothermal synergistic catalytic oxidation of VOCs in the catering industry.

[0017] Catalyst performance evaluation: To evaluate catalyst performance, this invention selected heptane and octane as probe molecules to represent VOCs in the catering industry, and tested them at a space velocity of 20,000 mL·g⁻¹. 1 ·h⁻ 1 The test was conducted under the following conditions: the gas mixture consisted of 3000 ppm heptane, 2000 ppm octane, or a mixture of the two (1500 ppm heptane and 1000 ppm octane), all containing 20 vol% O2 (with N2 as the equilibrium gas). The Pt1 / Co3O4 / GCN catalyst was subjected to full solar irradiation (300 mW·cm⁻¹). 2 The catalyst was used to catalyze the photothermal reaction of heptane and octane under synergistic heating conditions. Test results showed that the catalyst exhibited significantly higher catalytic activity than pure thermal catalysis under the same reaction atmosphere. Furthermore, the catalyst maintained highly efficient and stable photothermal catalytic activity during a 28-hour (aqueous)thermal stability test, indicating water resistance. The crystal structure and surface morphology of the catalyst were characterized in detail using X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution high-angle annular dark-field scanning electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The specific surface area, pore volume, and pore size distribution of the catalyst were characterized using nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms and the corresponding BJH pore size distribution. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy was used to investigate the changes in active free radicals under dark or light conditions and to reveal the photothermal synergistic mechanism. The performance of the catalyst in photothermal catalytic elimination of VOCs (heptane and octane) from cooking fumes was evaluated using Shimadzu GC-2014C gas chromatography (GC).

[0018] This invention successfully developed a Pt1 / Co3O4 / GCN ternary composite catalyst with high photothermal synergistic catalytic performance, suitable for the efficient degradation of typical VOCs (heptane and octane) in restaurant fumes. This catalyst exhibits excellent catalytic activity, stability, and water resistance under low temperature and light conditions, showing promising application prospects. Under simulated sunlight, it demonstrates excellent low-temperature catalytic activity for high concentrations of heptane (3000 ppm). T 90% = 195 °C), stability and water resistance.

[0019] This invention further provides new ideas and methodological support for the design and development of spinel-semiconductor composite photothermal catalysts modified with single atoms. Attached Figure Description
