Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of composite catalyst technology, specifically to a method for preparing MOFs-based composite catalysts and their applications. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of industrial production, the discharge of organic wastewater has been increasing year by year. Among them, wastewater containing recalcitrant organic pollutants such as Rhodamine B, methyl orange, and tetracycline poses a serious threat to the ecological environment and human health due to its high toxicity and difficulty in degradation. Photocatalytic degradation technology has become an ideal choice for treating this type of organic wastewater due to its advantages such as being green and environmentally friendly and having no secondary pollution. MOFs-based composite catalysts have attracted much attention in the field of photocatalysis due to their high specific surface area, tunable pore structure, and abundant active sites. Traditional MOF-based catalysts often employ a single metal active site design, resulting in a rapid recombination rate of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, leading to low photocatalytic efficiency and difficulty in achieving rapid degradation of organic pollutants. Some composite catalysts combine MOFs with carbon materials through physical mixing, but the interfacial bonding between the two is weak, resulting in significant interfacial mass transfer resistance and inefficient transfer of photogenerated carriers, further reducing the interfacial efficiency of the catalytic reaction. Therefore, to address the problems mentioned above, this invention proposes a method for preparing MOF-based composite catalysts and their applications. Summary of the Invention

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This invention eliminates the interfacial mass transfer resistance between modified MOFs and modified GO through covalent bonding. Photogenerated charge carriers can be rapidly transferred at the interface, allowing the catalytic reaction to proceed efficiently at the interface. The bimetallic active sites of modified MOFs, the electronic conductivity of modified GO, and the uniform dispersion structure formed with the help of modified solvents form a synergistic effect of adsorption-mass transfer-catalysis. The catalyst first rapidly adsorbs organic pollutant molecules through the porous structure, then achieves the oxidative degradation of pollutants through efficient photogenerated charge carrier separation, and finally releases degradation products through unobstructed pores. 2. This invention modifies the Ti and Fe bimetallic sites in MOFs to form synergistic photocatalytic centers, which can effectively absorb visible light and generate photogenerated electron-hole pairs. The layered structure of modified GO has excellent electronic conductivity, which can quickly capture the photogenerated electrons generated by MOFs, avoid the rapid recombination of electron-hole pairs, greatly improve the utilization rate of photogenerated carriers, and thus enhance the redox ability of the catalyst, achieving rapid degradation of organic pollutants such as Rhodamine B.

[0036] Seven different composite catalysts were prepared using Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-3. 50 mL of 50 mg / L Rhodamine B simulated wastewater was placed in a 100 mL stoppered conical flask. The pH of the wastewater was adjusted to 7 with HCl / NaOH. 20 mg of the composite catalyst to be tested was added. The flask was placed in a thermostatic magnetic stirrer (300 r / min, 25 °C) under dark conditions and stirred. 5 mL samples were taken at 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 min, filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane, and the absorbance was measured at the maximum absorption wavelength of Rhodamine B (554 nm) using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. After adsorption equilibrium was reached, the conical flask was placed in a photochemical reactor (300W xenon lamp, filtering out λ<420nm ultraviolet light, simulating visible light, with the light source 15cm above the liquid surface). The stirring (300r / min) and the light source were turned on to start the photocatalytic degradation reaction. During the reaction, 5mL samples were taken at 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60min, filtered through a 0.22μm filter membrane, and the absorbance at the corresponding wavelength was measured. The mass concentration of pollutants at each time point was calculated according to the Lambert-Beer law. The specific test results are shown in Tables 1 and 2 below. Table 1 Table 2 As can be seen from the data in Tables 1 and 2, the composite catalysts prepared in Examples 1-4 all exhibited highly efficient degradation effects. With the progress of the photocatalytic reaction, the absorbance and pollutant concentration of Rhodamine B showed a rapid decreasing trend. After 60 min of reaction, the pollutant concentration in Example 1 was only 1.54 mg / L. Examples 2 and 3 showed better degradation performance, with pollutant concentrations as low as 0.91 mg / L and 0.72 mg / L, respectively, after 60 min. The pollutant concentration in Example 4 was 1.30 mg / L. The catalysts in Examples 1-4 could achieve rapid degradation of Rhodamine B within the first 30 min of reaction, and the pollutant concentration dropped to below 12 mg / L after 30 min. In contrast, the pollutant concentration in Comparative Examples 1-3 was still above 28 mg / L after 30 min. This indicates that the composite catalyst prepared in this invention can effectively accelerate the photocatalytic reaction rate, improve the degradation efficiency of organic pollutants, and is more suitable for the rapid treatment of organic wastewater. Comparing the test data of the examples and the comparative examples, the concentration of Rhodamine B in the catalysts of Comparative Examples 1-3 decreased significantly slower within the same reaction time. After 60 min of reaction, the pollutant concentrations of Comparative Examples 1, 2, and 3 were still as high as 19.48 mg / L, 18.02 mg / L, and 23.45 mg / L, respectively, which were much higher than those of the examples. This indicates that the present invention can significantly improve the photocatalytic degradation ability of the composite catalyst by specifically modifying MOFs and GO and using a modified composite solvent preparation process. In contrast, replacing unmodified MOFs, GO, or a single solvent will reduce the catalytic performance of the catalyst.
[0037] Figure 5The XRD phase analysis spectrum of the modified MOFs-based composite catalyst in Example 1 shows a series of sharp and high-intensity characteristic diffraction peaks at 7°, which are characteristic of the crystal structure of the modified MOFs material, indicating that it has good crystallinity and an ordered pore structure. A weak broadened diffraction peak appears near 10°, corresponding to the characteristic peak of the interlayer stacking of modified GO, indicating that the interlayer interaction force of modified GO is weakened and the crystallinity is reduced. The spectrum retains all the main characteristic peaks of the modified MOFs, and the peak positions and shapes are basically consistent, while also including the modified... The faint characteristic peaks of GO directly prove that the two materials were successfully composited, and the crystal structure of the modified MOFs was well maintained during the composite process. The intensity of the characteristic peaks of the modified MOFs of the composite catalyst decreased slightly, but the peak shape was still clear, indicating that the introduction of modified GO did not destroy the crystal framework of the modified MOFs, but only affected its long-range order to a certain extent. The characteristic peaks of modified GO were almost masked after composite because the modified GO was highly dispersed in the modified MOFs matrix in the form of ultrathin sheets, and its interlayer stacking was further destroyed, resulting in a weakening of the diffraction signal.
[0038] Figure 6 The image shows an electron microscope image of the modified GO in Example 1. The modified GO exhibits a layered structure with well-developed and flexible sheets, without obvious agglomeration or clumping. This indicates that after carboxylation, silanization modification, and solvent dispersion treatment, the interlayer forces of the modified GO are effectively weakened, and its dispersibility is significantly improved. This is the structural basis for its ability to achieve uniform composite with modified MOFs. The edges of the modified GO sheets exhibit irregular curling and wrinkling, and there are a small number of mesoporous structures on the sheets. This structural feature increases the specific surface area of the modified GO, providing more active sites for subsequent covalent bonding with modified MOFs. On the other hand, it also provides unobstructed channels for pollutant adsorption and mass transfer during the photocatalytic process, matching the synergistic design of adsorption-mass transfer-catalysis.
[0039] Figure 7 The image shows an electron microscope (EM) image of the modified MOFs in Example 1. The modified MOFs exhibit a uniform nanorod-like morphology with particle sizes ranging from tens to hundreds of nanometers. The overall morphology is regular, without obvious deformities or agglomerates. This indicates that the modification process did not destroy the intrinsic crystal structure of the modified MOFs, but instead helped to form uniformly sized nanocrystals, providing a good structural basis for subsequent composite with modified GO. The sample as a whole shows a dense but relatively uniform particle packing, without large-area hard agglomeration or melting sintering. This shows that the modification process effectively controlled the nucleation and growth of the modified MOFs, ensuring their dispersion and facilitating the formation of a continuous electron transport network in the composite catalyst.
[0040] Figure 8The image shows an electron microscope (EMS) image of the modified MOFs-based composite catalyst in Example 1. The two-dimensional lamellar wrinkled structure of modified GO and the nanorod / nanoparticle morphology of modified MOFs clearly coexist. The modified MOF particles are not simply physically mixed, but rather uniformly attached to and grown on the surface and edges of the modified GO sheets, forming a typical composite structure of sheet-loaded particles. The modified MOF particles are uniformly distributed on the modified GO sheets, without large-area aggregation or detachment, indicating a strong interfacial interaction (such as covalent bonds, hydrogen bonds, or electrostatic interactions). This tight bond is a solid... The modified GO sheets maintain good flexibility and layered structure, without significant breakage or stacking during the composite process, ensuring efficient electron transport and suppressing photogenerated carrier recombination. The modified MOF particles also retain their intrinsic nano-morphology, indicating that the composite process conditions are mild and effectively protect the structural integrity of both materials. The wrinkles between the sheets and the accumulation between the particles form a rich hierarchical porous structure, which not only increases the overall specific surface area but also provides ample space for the adsorption, mass transfer, and catalytic reactions of the reactants, aligning with the design concept of synergistic adsorption-mass transfer-catalysis.
