Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of photocatalytic materials and preservation materials, specifically to a method for preparing a Ni-doped modified UiO-66-NH2 composite preservation film with chitosan / polyvinyl alcohol. Background Technology

[0002] Fruits remain physiologically active after harvest and are highly susceptible to microbial contamination and spoilage during transportation and storage, resulting in significant economic losses. Developing efficient and safe antibacterial packaging materials is crucial for extending the shelf life of fruits. Chitosan (CS) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) are commonly used basic materials for preparing biodegradable preservation films. Chitosan possesses excellent film-forming properties, biocompatibility, and natural antibacterial activity, while polyvinyl alcohol exhibits high mechanical strength and good chemical stability. Blending the two can form a composite film with complementary properties. However, the antibacterial effect of traditional CS / PVA composite films mainly relies on the passive contact inhibition of chitosan itself, lacking an active and efficient bactericidal mechanism. Its effectiveness in killing suspended bacteria in the packaging environment and bacteria attached to the film surface is limited, making it difficult to meet increasingly stringent preservation requirements.

[0003] Photocatalytic sterilization technology has received widespread attention in the food packaging field in recent years. Its mechanism of action involves the excitation of the photocatalyst under light irradiation, generating photogenerated electrons and holes. These photogenerated charge carriers further react with water and oxygen to produce highly oxidizing reactive oxygen species (ROS), including hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and superoxide anions (·O2). - ) and singlet oxygen ( 1 Photocatalysts (such as O2) can disrupt the structure of microbial cells and cause leakage of cell contents, thereby achieving a broad-spectrum and highly efficient bactericidal effect. However, photocatalysts generally face the problem of easy recombination between photogenerated electrons and holes in practical applications, so improving the photogenerated carrier separation efficiency of photocatalysts is very important.

[0004] Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) exhibit unique advantages in photocatalysis due to their large specific surface area, abundant active sites, and tunable band structure. Among them, UiO-66-NH2 not only possesses excellent water and chemical stability, but its amino functional groups can also extend the visible light response range, making it a very promising photocatalytic material. Introducing UiO-66-NH2 into a CS / PVA matrix is ​​expected to endow the composite membrane with photocatalytic reactive oxygen species (ROS) bactericidal function. However, pure UiO-66-NH2 still suffers from a high recombination rate of photogenerated carriers, which limits its ROS yield and actual bactericidal effect.

[0005] Transition metal ion doping is an effective means to suppress photogenerated carrier recombination and improve photocatalytic efficiency. Nickel (Ni), as a transition metal element, can introduce defects into the semiconductor lattice through doping, effectively capturing photogenerated electrons and promoting the separation and migration of electron-hole pairs, thereby improving the generation efficiency of reactive oxygen species. Currently, there are no reports on the use of Ni-doped UiO-66-NH2 as a photocatalytic functional filler in CS / PVA matrices to achieve active sterilization using its highly efficient photogenerated oxygen. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention addresses the issues of high photogenerated carrier recombination efficiency in UiO-66-NH2 and limited bactericidal effect in chitosan / polyvinyl alcohol composite films by providing a method for preparing a Ni-doped modified UiO-66-NH2 / chitosan / polyvinyl alcohol composite preservation film. The prepared composite film exhibits good visible light response, higher photogenerated carrier separation efficiency, and sustainable antibacterial activity, showing broad application prospects in fruit and vegetable preservation, photocatalytic sterilization, and other fields.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a Ni-doped modified UiO-66-NH2 / chitosan / polyvinyl alcohol composite food preservation film, comprising the following steps: Step S1: Prepare Ni / UiO-66-NH2 by hydrothermal method.

[0008] Step S2: Mix chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol solution to obtain a blend. Add Ni / UiO-66-NH2 prepared in (1) to the blend, stir thoroughly, and defoam by ultrasonication to obtain a film-forming solution. Pour the film-forming solution evenly into a mold. Dry to obtain a composite food preservation film.

[0009] Optionally, in step S1, the hydrothermal method for preparing Ni / UiO-66-NH2 is as follows: ZrCl4 and 2-aminoterephthalic acid are dissolved in 40 mL of DMF solution, respectively. Then, a certain amount of acetic acid and Ni(NO3)2·6H2O are added to the above solution, and the mixture is sonicated for 30 min. The resulting solution is transferred to a 100 mL polytetrafluoroethylene reactor and reacted at 120 °C for 24 h. After natural cooling and centrifugation, the solution is washed and dried to obtain Ni / UiO-66-NH2.

[0010] Optionally, in step S2, the concentration of the chitosan solution is 2.5%; the concentration of the polyvinyl alcohol solution is 5%, and the volume ratio of the chitosan solution to the polyvinyl alcohol solution is 1:1.

[0011] Optionally, in step S2, the amount of Ni / UiO-66-NH2 added is 1-10% of the total mass of chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol in the blend.

[0012] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a Ni-doped modified UiO-66-NH2 composite food preservation film prepared by the above preparation method and chitosan / polyvinyl alcohol.

[0013] A third aspect of the present invention provides the application of the above-described composite preservation film in the preservation of fruits and vegetables.

[0014] Optionally, in the above applications, the fruit or vegetable is Shine Muscat.

[0015] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides a method for preserving fruits and vegetables using the above-mentioned composite preservation film, comprising the following steps: Fruits and vegetables to be preserved are placed in an open preservation box. A Ni-doped UiO-66-NH2 composite preservation film is used to cover the opening of the preservation box and then sealed. The preservation box is then stored under visible irradiation.

[0016] Compared to the original materials, the present invention has the following advantages: The composite preservation film prepared by this invention improves the separation and transport efficiency of photogenerated carriers and enhances the photocatalytic activity of the material due to Ni-doped UiO-66-NH2. Adding Ni / UiO-66-NH2 to the CS / PVA composite film enhances the film's mechanical properties, giving it good flexibility. The addition of Ni / UiO-66-NH2 also enhances the film's visible light response and antibacterial activity. Attached Figure Description
