Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of gas storage technology and relates to a method and application for desorbing gases from two-dimensional crystals. This invention is a divisional application of application number 2023105534184, entitled "Method and Application of Gas Adsorption on Two-Dimensional Crystals". Background Technology
[0002] Adsorption processes at solid-gas interfaces have long been a focus of scientific attention. These processes form the basis of many important phenomena and applications, such as gas capture and conversion, gas storage and separation, surface catalysis based on gas adsorption, material growth processes following source gas adsorption, and changes in the physical and chemical properties of adsorbents caused by adsorbed gases. Therefore, researching and exploring the adsorption behavior at solid-gas interfaces is of great significance in related fields.
[0003] Generally speaking, solid-gas interface adsorption processes can be divided into two types based on whether chemical bonds are formed between gas molecules and solid surface atoms: chemisorption and physisorption. In chemisorption gas-solid systems, the interaction energy between gas molecules and solid atoms is very high, even reaching hundreds of kJ / mol. Due to the formation of chemical bonds, the system exhibits strong stability. However, the strong bond energies in chemisorption generally make this process irreversible, making it difficult to achieve repetitive gas capture and release, thus greatly limiting related applications. Conversely, physisorption, where gas molecules interact with the solid surface through van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonds, or electrostatic attraction, is considered reversible, with low regeneration energy consumption, and its interaction energy is typically below 30 kJ / mol. However, due to the weak charge transfer between the solid adsorbent and gas molecules, especially for molecules with stable closed-shell layers, such as common nonpolar gas molecules like hydrogen, Ar, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, helium, and methane, adsorption is difficult to occur. Currently, to achieve physical adsorption and storage of gases, low temperature and high pressure conditions are often required, and once removed from this environment, the adsorbed gas will spontaneously desorb. These phenomena have hindered experimental research on adsorption performance and industrial applications in gas storage. Therefore, how adsorbents can capture and preserve molecules under mild conditions (such as room temperature and atmospheric pressure) remains an open question.
[0004] Numerous attempts have been made to improve the adsorption capacity of physical adsorption. For example, adsorbents with high specific surface area and porosity, such as 2D materials like MOFs, COMs, and graphene, have been employed. However, the adsorption capacity of these materials has not been significantly enhanced, mainly because the process remains limited to low-temperature adsorption. To date, stable adsorption of gas molecules under normal conditions has not been experimentally achieved. Exploring and developing methods to achieve stable, high-density adsorption of gases at room temperature and pressure is of significant research importance.
[0005] It is also important to note that since solid-gas interface behavior is fundamental to many phenomena, studying the adsorption behavior of solid adsorbents on gas molecules has significant potential application value. For example, it holds promise for developing new technologies to achieve gas separation. Currently, gas separation technologies mainly include pressure swing adsorption (PSA), hydrate gas separation, cryogenic distillation, cryogenic gas separation, and membrane separation. Among these, the hydrate method requires low temperature and high pressure to form hydrates, resulting in low reaction selectivity and slow hydrate formation efficiency; cryogenic distillation requires stringent operating conditions, including high pressure and low temperature; cryogenic separation consumes a large amount of refrigeration energy during the separation process, leading to high investment costs and demanding reaction conditions; and membrane separation has poor processing capacity and high energy consumption for pressurization. Currently, the most mature separation method is pressure swing adsorption (PSA). The principle of PSA is based on the differences in the adsorption characteristics of gas components in solid materials and the characteristic that the adsorption amount changes with pressure. It utilizes periodic pressure changes to complete the corresponding gas separation and purification. The separation technology generally includes three stages: gas adsorption, gas desorption and regeneration, and pressurization. Gas adsorption involves the adsorption of gases by an adsorbent. Desorption and regeneration are the processes by which the adsorbent is regenerated, allowing it to continue its adsorption function. Pressurization, on the other hand, involves increasing the gas pressure after desorption and regeneration, which not only achieves gas separation and improves gas purity but also prepares the gas for the next adsorption and purification process. The gas adsorption process is fundamental, and traditional adsorption processes are based on the principle of concentration reactions. Therefore, utilizing different methods to achieve the adsorption of gases by solid adsorbents plays a crucial role in gas production and separation. It is essential to strengthen the research and application of related technologies to achieve continuous innovation and improvement, ultimately promoting the development of gas separation technology.
[0006] Using two-dimensional materials such as graphene as adsorbents in gas adsorption studies holds promise for simultaneously modifying the adsorbents. The enormous specific surface area of two-dimensional materials like graphene makes them susceptible to the influence of surface-adsorbed impurity atoms during production and use, leading to significant changes in their intrinsic physical and chemical properties. For example, when each carbon atom adjacent to a hydrogen atom in graphene forms a stable covalent bond, graphene transforms into a two-dimensional alkane, and the highly conductive graphene becomes a novel graphane material with insulating properties. If the hydrogenation of graphene surface atoms is incomplete, partially hydrogenated graphene will exhibit ferromagnetism and show a band structure that is adjustable with the degree of hydrogenation. Besides covalent bonds, graphene can also be modified through non-covalent interactions such as π-π interactions, hydrogen bonds, and ionic bonds, achieving surface functionalization. Furthermore, doping and ion bombardment are also important methods for altering graphene properties. Doping can change the fundamental characteristics of semiconductors, effectively controlling optical, electrical, and magnetic properties, thereby promoting the realization of high-efficiency novel optoelectronic devices. For example, nitrogen-doped graphene prepared by CVD exhibits the characteristics of an n-type semiconductor. Ion bombardment, using ions with a certain initial energy to bombard graphene targets, leads to the generation of defects such as vacancies, atomic deficiencies, and atomic substitutions. The presence of defects greatly affects the electron mobility of graphene. For example, graphene bombarded with Ar+ can exhibit wrinkled structures with different amplitudes and periodicities, thus affecting its electronic properties. Crucially, graphene modification is an important means of realizing graphene applications. For instance, graphene's unique mechanical, thermal, optical, and electrical properties, as well as its excellent barrier properties, have great potential application value in the coating field. By combining graphene with organic resins, not only can the overall performance of the coating be greatly improved, but it can also endow the coating with special properties such as corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, and flame retardancy. Developing novel methods to achieve the controllable and stable adsorption of gas molecules by two-dimensional materials such as graphene will lay a solid foundation for improving the intrinsic properties of two-dimensional materials such as graphene and for the subsequent development and application of modified two-dimensional materials.
[0007] Solid adsorbents (or catalysts) enable the adsorption and catalytic decomposition of gas molecules. This process forms the basis for the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method in preparing graphene and other low-dimensional materials. Therefore, studying the adsorption behavior of solid adsorbents on gas molecules has significant potential value in the field of CVD growth. Taking the CVD preparation of graphene as an example, and using methane as the carbon source and copper as the growth substrate, the process is simple: during growth, methane needs to be adsorbed onto the copper metal surface and undergoes catalytic cracking under the catalytic action of the copper substrate, resulting in a dehydrogenation reaction and ultimately the growth of a graphene film on the copper substrate. Therefore, in the CVD material preparation process, in addition to traditional parameter control such as pressure, gas flow rate, atmosphere composition ratio, growth temperature, growth time, and temperature and cooling process regulation, developing novel methods to control the adsorption process of solid adsorbents on gases is an important means of achieving target material control.

[0079] Beneficial Effects: The novel method for gas adsorption using two-dimensional crystals provided by this invention is based on the principle of electrostatic adsorption and employs a polarization enhancement strategy. By injecting a certain amount of charge into a two-dimensional crystal (such as graphene) in a gas environment, a surface discharge process is achieved. This causes the intrinsic gas molecules surrounding the crystal to polarize under the influence of an external electric field, generating dipole moments. Simultaneously, the atoms on the two-dimensional crystal surface undergo lattice distortion, exhibiting a piezoelectric effect. Gas molecules are attracted to the two-dimensional crystal material, and further discharge processes lead to the formation of a stable structure between the two-dimensional crystal and gas molecules. This structure is maintained by the dipole (electrostatic) interaction between the polarized molecules and the two-dimensional crystal. Even after further removal of the injected charge, the graphene remains stable. Ultimately, the interaction between the out-of-plane displacement atoms of the two-dimensional crystal material and the polarized gas molecules is greatly enhanced, enabling the controllable and stable adsorption of various types of gases on the surface of the two-dimensional crystal. This method can serve as an efficient method for adsorbing and storing various types of gases, providing technical support for gas storage, development, and industrial applications.

[0106] Invention A)
[0107] First, this invention provides a method for adsorbing gas using a two-dimensional crystal, the method comprising the following steps:
[0108] 1) Select a two-dimensional crystal material;
[0109] 2) Place the two-dimensional crystal material in the gas adsorption chamber;
[0110] 3) Introduce the gas to be adsorbed into the gas adsorption chamber;
[0111] 4) Injecting charges into the two-dimensional crystal material placed in the gas adsorption chamber to induce surface discharge and form an external electric field; the charge injection methods are charge injection, electrostatic generator charge injection, high voltage charge injection, and plasma generator charge injection.
[0112] 5) The gas placed around the two-dimensional crystal material is polarized under the action of the external electric field in step 4), generating a dipole moment and attracting the two-dimensional crystal material to form a stable structure, thus completing the adsorption of gas by the two-dimensional crystal material.
[0113] The principle of the two-dimensional crystal gas adsorption method provided by this invention is as follows: Figure 1 Taking Ar atom adsorption as an example, after injecting negative charge, graphene will polarize the surrounding Ar gas atoms. The polarized Ar atoms and charged graphene attract each other and eventually combine together, causing the graphene lattice distortion in the bonding region. The polarized Ar atoms and charged graphene undergo charge transfer. After further removing the external negative charge, the state of the adsorbed gas remains unchanged.
[0114] The technical solution provided by the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings:
[0115] Example 1
[0116] Using monolayer graphene grown on a copper / nickel single-crystal alloy substrate as raw material, the adsorption of Ar gas by graphene was achieved by charge injection using an electrostatic generator. The specific operation is as follows:
[0117] First, a monolayer of graphene grown on a copper / nickel single-crystal alloy substrate is placed in a gas adsorption chamber (a sealed quartz tube at room temperature). Ar is introduced, and the gas pressure is adjusted to 500 Pa via a pressure valve. Using an electrostatic generator, negative charges are generated at a potential of -1.0 kV. The emitted negative charges are transferred to the monolayer graphene through a metal conductor. The current at this time is characterized by a high-precision ammeter, and the detected current density is approximately 1 nA / mm². 2 At this point, the electric field strength due to the accumulated charge on the surface is greater than 75 V / mm (calculated by measuring the surface voltage with a voltmeter), and the injection time is approximately 5 minutes. Typical morphology after gas adsorption is shown in [reference needed]. Figure 3 a. STM images characterize the distribution of Ar atoms adsorbed on the graphene sample, and the height distribution of gas molecules is as follows: Figure 3 As shown in Figure c, the height distribution of argon gas is the same as the diameter of the atoms, indicating that the adsorbed gas molecules are argon atoms.
[0118] Example 2
[0119] The procedure is basically the same as in Example 1, except that the type of gas adsorbed is different. The specific operation is as follows:
[0120] First, the monolayer graphene on the metal substrate is placed in a gas adsorption chamber (the gas adsorption chamber is a sealed quartz tube, and the ambient temperature is room temperature). In this embodiment, helium gas is introduced (in addition to helium, gases treated in the same way as in this embodiment can also include energy gases such as hydrogen, methane, ethane, propane, butane, ethylene, propylene, butene, acetylene, and carbon monoxide; inert gases such as helium; and one or more other types of gas molecules such as nitrogen and oxygen). The gas pressure is adjusted to 500 Pa. Using an electrostatic generator, a negative charge is generated under a potential of -1.0 KV. The emitted negative charge is transferred to the monolayer graphene through a metal conductor. The current at this time is characterized by a high-precision ammeter, and the detected current density is ~1 nA / mm. 2 At this point, the electric field strength of the accumulated charge on the surface is greater than 75 V / mm (calculated by measuring the surface voltage with a voltmeter), and the injection time is approximately 5 minutes. Typical morphology after helium adsorption is shown in [reference needed]. Figure 3 b, STM image characterizing the distribution of helium atoms adsorbed on the graphene sample. The gas molecule height distribution is as follows... Figure 3 As shown in c. Figure 3 c is Figure 3 a and Figure 3 The corresponding height profiles of Ar and He atoms in b are shown, and Cu atom steps are drawn for comparison. The thickness of Ar and He is equal to their atomic diameter, and the Cu atoms are approximately spaced perpendicular to the plane of Cu(111).
[0121] Example 3
[0122] The procedure is basically the same as in Example 1, except that the substrate on which the graphene is placed is different. The specific operation is as follows:
[0123] First, a monolayer of graphene on a silicon oxide substrate (similar to this embodiment, the graphene can be on various types of substrates, including insulating non-metallic substrates such as sapphire, silicon carbide, and silicon oxide, or non-insulating metallic substrates such as copper, nickel, and platinum, as well as suspended substrates without contact. In this embodiment, a copper-nickel alloy substrate and a silicon oxide substrate were selected as the substrates on which the monolayer graphene is located) is placed in a gas adsorption chamber (the gas adsorption chamber can be a sealed quartz tube). Ar is introduced and the gas pressure is adjusted to 500 Pa. A negative charge is generated using an electrostatic generator under a potential of -1.0 KV. The emitted negative charge is transferred to the monolayer graphene through a metal conductor. The current at this time is characterized by a high-precision ammeter, and the current density is detected to be ~1 nA / mm². 2At this point, the electric field strength of the accumulated charge on the surface is greater than 75 V / mm (calculated by measuring the surface voltage with a voltmeter), and the injection time is approximately 5 minutes. Typical Raman spectra of graphene adsorbed on a silicon oxide substrate are shown below. Figure 2 .
[0124] Example 4
[0125] The process is basically the same as in Example 3, except that the thickness of the graphene is different. The specific operation is as follows:
[0126] First, graphene (the thickness of graphene can be single-layer, double-layer, triple-layer, or more, with a thickness of 1-10 nm. In this embodiment, double-layer, triple-layer, and quadruple-layer graphene are selected) is placed in a gas adsorption chamber (the gas adsorption chamber must be able to allow the introduction of various gases and to measure relevant experimental parameters during the adsorption process, such as adjusting and measuring gas pressure, detecting current, electric field, etc., and can be a sealed quartz tube reactor, etc. In this embodiment, the gas adsorption chamber is a sealed reactor). Ar is introduced and the gas pressure is adjusted to 500 Pa. Using an electrostatic generator, negative charges are generated under a potential of -1.0 KV. The emitted negative charges are transferred to the graphene through a metal conductor. The current at this time is characterized by a high-precision ammeter, and the detected current density is ~1 nA / mm². 2 At this point, the electric field strength of the accumulated charge on the surface is greater than 75 V / mm (the surface electric field strength is calculated by measuring the surface voltage with a voltmeter), and the injection time is approximately 5 minutes. Typical Raman spectra of graphene of different thicknesses on a silicon oxide substrate after adsorption are shown below. Figure 2 .
[0127] Example 5
[0128] The procedure is basically the same as in Example 1, except that the conditions for adsorbing the gas are changed, including changes in gas pressure and the rate of injection of charge. The specific operation is as follows:
[0129] First, the graphene on the copper-nickel alloy metal substrate is placed in the gas adsorption chamber (the gas adsorption chamber is a closed quartz tube), Ar is introduced, and the gas pressure is adjusted to 10 Pa (in other embodiments similar to this one, the gas pressure range is 0.1 Pa-10 Pa). 5 Using an electrostatic generator, negative charges are generated (Pa). These negative charges are then transferred to the graphene through a metal conductor. The current at this point is characterized by a high-precision ammeter; note that the current density is approximately 2 nA / mm². 2 (In this embodiment, the current density is adjusted to <10nA / mm) 2To avoid damaging the graphene sample, the surface electric field strength generated by the accumulated charge must reach a sufficient threshold. Once the threshold is reached, it is used to release static electrons, i.e., the surface discharge process. In this embodiment, the threshold is 125V / mm. For details on the field strength thresholds of the breakdown gas under different pressures, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4 The injection time is approximately 5 minutes.
[0130] Example 6
[0131] The procedure is basically the same as in Example 1, except that the type of two-dimensional crystal is different. The specific operation is as follows:
[0132] First, single-walled carbon nanotubes (in this embodiment, two-dimensional crystals are limited to layered materials bonded together by van der Waals forces, whose surface atoms must have out-of-plane displacement capability, and whose thickness is 1-10 nm, including but not limited to single-layer, double-layer, and few-layered hBN, MoS2, MoSe2, MoTe2, NbS2, NbSe2, NbTe2, WS2, WSe2, WTe2, etc., and allotropes of two-dimensional crystals, such as single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes, carbon fibers, etc.) are placed in a gas adsorption chamber (the gas adsorption chamber can be a sealed quartz tube). Ar is introduced and the gas pressure is adjusted to 500 Pa. Using an electrostatic generator, negative charges are generated. The emitted negative charges are transferred to the graphene through a metal conductor. The current at this time is characterized by a high-precision ammeter. Note that the current density is ~2 nA / mm². 2 (In this embodiment, the current density is adjusted to <10nA / mm) 2 To avoid damaging the single-walled carbon nanotube sample and ensure that the surface field strength generated by the accumulated charge reaches a sufficient threshold, the typical morphology after gas adsorption was observed after an injection time of approximately 5 minutes. A comparison of the AFM height before and after Ar gas adsorption in single-walled nanotubes is shown in the figure. Figure 5 The height before gas adsorption was about 1.86 nm, and the height at the same position increased to 2.11 nm after adsorption of Ar gas.
[0133] Example 7
[0134] This example is basically the same as Example 1, except for the method of charge implantation into the graphene. In this example, a high-voltage implantation method is used, and the specific operation is as follows:
[0135] First, graphene on a metal substrate is placed in a gas adsorption chamber (which can be a sealed quartz tube). Ar is introduced and the gas pressure is adjusted to 66.5 Pa. A high-voltage power supply is directly contacted with the graphene sample, applying a high voltage of 5000 V. At this point, surface charge accumulates, generating an electric field strength >80 V / m. The gas to be adsorbed is then broken down under this high voltage. When the voltage of the graphene exceeds the breakdown voltage threshold, the discharge process helps the graphene capture and retain gas molecules by transforming them into a stable structure. This structure is maintained by the dipole interaction between the gas molecules and the graphene, and the graphene remains stable even after the injected charge is removed. A typical Raman spectrum of graphene after gas adsorption is shown below. Figure 6 After graphene adsorbs gas, a distinct D peak appears.
[0136] Example 8
[0137] This is basically the same as Example 7, except that the conditions have changed. The specific operation is as follows:
[0138] First, the graphene on the metal substrate is placed in a gas adsorption chamber (which can be a sealed quartz tube), Ar is introduced, and the gas pressure is adjusted to 1000 Pa (in other embodiments similar to this one, the pressure range can be 0.1 Pa-10 Pa). 5 A high-voltage power supply (Pa) was directly applied to the graphene sample, generating an electric field strength >80V / m. Under this high voltage, the gas was broken down, polarized, and produced a weak glow, subsequently adsorbing onto the sample surface. The effect of gas pressure on the adsorption results is discussed in [reference needed]. Figure 7 The ratio of the D peak to the G peak of graphene under different pressures indicates the amount of gas adsorbed and the ease of adsorption. The larger the ratio, the easier the adsorption and the greater the amount of gas adsorbed.
[0139] Example 9
[0140] This example is basically the same as Example 1, except that the method of charge implantation into the graphene is different. In this example, plasma implantation is used, and the specific operation is as follows:
[0141] First, the graphene on the metal substrate is placed in the gas adsorption chamber (which can be a sealed quartz tube). Ar is introduced and the gas pressure is adjusted to 1 Pa (in this embodiment, the pressure is 1 Pa; in other embodiments similar to this embodiment, the range can be 1-10 Pa). 2Pa (this pressure range easily generates plasma glow), set the temperature to 100℃ (in this embodiment, the temperature range is room temperature to 200℃); turn on the inductively coupled plasma generator, specifically with a power of 20W (in other embodiments similar to this embodiment, the power range can be 5-100W). In this embodiment, the electric field strength generated by the accumulated surface charge should reach 100V / m. The sample is generally processed for 60s (in other embodiments similar to this embodiment, the processing time can range from 10s to 600s). Typical Raman spectra after Ar gas adsorption are shown in [reference needed]. Figure 8 The curve after gas adsorption shows a peak on the far left, known as peak D, which is produced by the adsorbed gas.
[0142] Invention B)
[0143] This invention provides a method for adsorbing gases from two-dimensional crystals, and also provides a method for desorbing gases from two-dimensional crystals with a similar concept. This method includes the following steps:
[0144] 1) Select a two-dimensional crystal material for the gas to be desorbed;
[0145] 2) Place the material to be desorbed into the gas desorption chamber;
[0146] 3) The desorption chamber is cleaned to remove residual gas;
[0147] 4) Heating the two-dimensional crystalline material containing the gas to be desorbed, and / or irradiating the two-dimensional crystalline material containing the gas to be desorbed with light, and / or subjecting the two-dimensional crystalline material containing the gas to be desorbed with plasma, and / or injecting reverse charge into the two-dimensional crystalline material containing the gas to be desorbed. Among these methods, light irradiation mainly activates the catalytic function of graphene, while plasma treatment accelerates the bombardment effect of electrons.
[0148] 5) Under the action of step 3), the two-dimensional crystal material for desorbing the gas reduces the interaction force between the adsorbed gas and the two-dimensional crystal, thereby completing the desorption process of the gas adsorbed on the surface of the two-dimensional crystal.
[0149] 6) Use mass or thermogravimetric analysis to detect the desorbed gas and verify the type and amount of gas desorbed.
[0150] The technical solution provided by the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings:
[0151] Example 10
[0152] Using Ar-adsorbed graphene as raw material, the adsorption surface is desorbed by heating. The specific operation is as follows:
[0153] First, monolayer graphene (grown on a copper / nickel single-crystal alloy substrate) adsorbed with Ar gas was placed in a gas desorption chamber (a sealed quartz tube capable of vacuuming and heating). The chamber was then evacuated and cleaned with hydrogen three or more times to remove oxygen and moisture. Next, the sample (monolayer graphene adsorbed with Ar gas) was heated to 400°C for approximately 10 minutes. Typical Raman spectroscopy results for monolayer graphene before and after complete Ar gas desorption are shown in [reference needed]. Figure 9 After the adsorbed gas is removed, the graphene adsorbed with the gas exhibits a typical D peak ( Figure 9 The leftmost peak of the bottom curve disappears. Vacuuming is used to obtain a higher purity of the desorbed gas, removing residual gas from the adsorption chamber first. Furthermore, it prevents water and oxygen in the adsorption chamber from damaging two-dimensional crystals such as graphene during the desorption process.
[0154] Example 11
[0155] The procedure is basically the same as in Example 10, except that the type of gas to be desorbed is different. The specific operation is as follows:

The chamber was then evacuated and cleaned with hydrogen gas three or more times to remove oxygen and moisture. The sample was then heated to 400℃ for approximately 10 minutes. After complete He gas desorption, the monolayer graphene exhibited typical Raman characteristics and... Figure 9 Similar, will not be provided again.

In this embodiment, a silicon oxide substrate was selected as the substrate for the monolayer graphene) was placed in a gas desorption chamber (the gas adsorption chamber is a sealed quartz tube that can be vacuumed and heated). The gas desorption chamber was then evacuated and cleaned with hydrogen gas three or more times to remove oxygen and moisture. The sample was then heated to 400°C for approximately 10 minutes. Typical Raman spectroscopy of the monolayer graphene on the silicon oxide substrate before and after gas desorption is shown in [reference needed]. Figure 10 After the adsorbed gas is removed, the typical D peak of the graphene disappears.
[0160] Example 13
[0161] The process is basically the same as in Example 12, except that the thickness of the graphene is different. The specific operation is as follows:
[0162] First, graphene (with a thickness of 1-10 nm, which can be single-layer, double-layer, triple-layer, or more, and four layers thick) adsorbed with Ar gas is placed in a gas desorption chamber (a sealed quartz tube that can be evacuated and heated). The chamber is then evacuated and cleaned with hydrogen three or more times to remove oxygen and moisture. The sample is then heated to 400°C for approximately 10 minutes. Typical Raman spectroscopy of the four-layer graphene after complete gas desorption is shown in [reference needed]. Figure 11 .

[0165] First, monolayer graphene (grown on a copper / nickel single-crystal alloy substrate) adsorbed with Ar gas is placed in a gas desorption chamber (a sealed quartz tube capable of vacuuming and heating). The chamber is then evacuated and cleaned three or more times with hydrogen to remove oxygen and moisture. Next, the sample is heated to 300°C (the temperature range for complete gas desorption is 300-800°C; in this embodiment, 300°C is used, as temperatures exceeding 800°C will damage the intrinsic lattice structure of the graphene), for approximately 30 minutes (the desorption time is set between 10 minutes and 2 hours; higher temperatures result in faster desorption, while lower temperatures require longer desorption times).
[0166] Example 15
[0167] The procedure is basically the same as in Example 10, except that the type of two-dimensional crystal used to adsorb Ar gas is different. The specific operation is as follows:
[0168] First, single-walled carbon nanotubes (in this embodiment, two-dimensional crystals, limited to layered materials bound together by van der Waals forces, whose surface atoms must have out-of-plane displacement capability, and a thickness of 1-10 nm, including but not limited to single-layer, double-layer, and few-layered hBN, MoS2, MoSe2, MoTe2, NbS2, NbSe2, NbTe2, WS2, WSe2, WTe2, etc., and allotropes of two-dimensional crystals, such as single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes, carbon fibers, etc.) adsorbed with Ar gas were placed in a gas desorption chamber (the gas adsorption chamber was a sealed quartz tube, which could be vacuumed and heated). The gas desorption chamber was then evacuated and cleaned with hydrogen gas three or more times to remove oxygen and moisture. The sample was then heated to 400°C for approximately 10 minutes. An AFM image of the same location after gas desorption is shown below. Figure 12 The height of the single-walled tube for adsorbing gas is 2.11 nm, and the height of the sample after desorbing the gas is 1.76 nm.
[0169] Example 16
[0170] This example is basically the same as Example 10, except that the desorption method is different. In this example, light radiation is used to achieve gas desorption, and the specific operation is as follows:
[0171] First, monolayer graphene (grown on a copper / nickel single-crystal alloy substrate) adsorbed with Ar gas was placed in a gas desorption chamber (a sealed quartz tube capable of vacuuming and heating). The chamber was then evacuated and cleaned three or more times with hydrogen to remove oxygen and moisture. Next, the sample was subjected to light irradiation, using human illumination and / or laser light. In this embodiment, the wavelength was 488 nm (typically less than 1000 nm), the irradiation power was 10 mW, and the irradiation time was 60 min. Irradiation not only generates a certain amount of heat but also stimulates the catalytic performance of the graphene, thereby desorbing the gas. Raman characteristics before and after gas desorption were observed. Figure 9 Similar, will not be provided again.
[0172] Example 17
[0173] This is basically the same as Example 16, except that the two-dimensional crystal used for gas desorption is different, and the specific operation is as follows:
[0174] First, NbSe2 (a two-dimensional crystal defined as a layered material bound together by van der Waals forces, with surface atoms capable of out-of-plane displacement and a thickness of 1-10 nm, including but not limited to single-layer, double-layer, and few-layered hBN, MoS2, MoSe2, MoTe2, NbS2, NbSe2, NbTe2, WS2, WSe2, WTe2, etc., and allotropes of two-dimensional crystals, such as single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes, carbon fibers, etc. In this embodiment, single-layered MoS2 is used) adsorbed with Ar gas is placed in a gas desorption chamber (the gas adsorption chamber is a sealed quartz tube that can be vacuumed and heated). Then, the gas desorption chamber is evacuated and cleaned with hydrogen gas three or more times to remove oxygen and moisture. The sample was then subjected to light irradiation, using human illumination and / or laser light. In this embodiment, the wavelength used was 488 nm, typically within the range of less than 1000 nm. The irradiation power was 10 mW, and the irradiation time was 60 min. Irradiation not only generates a certain amount of thermal effect but also stimulates the catalytic performance of the two-dimensional crystal, thereby desorbing the gas. Intrinsic NbSe2 Raman data before and after gas desorption are shown in [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 13 Raman data showed that after gas adsorption, the peak positions of NbSe2 and other peaks exhibited a significant blue shift, and after desorption, the peak positions basically returned to their initial levels.
[0175] Example 18
[0176] This example is basically the same as Example 10, except that the desorption method is different. In this example, plasma bombardment is used to achieve gas desorption, and the specific operation is as follows:
[0177] First, monolayer graphene (grown on a copper / nickel single-crystal alloy substrate) adsorbed with Ar gas was placed in a gas desorption chamber (a sealed quartz tube capable of vacuuming and heating). The chamber was then evacuated and cleaned three or more times with hydrogen to remove oxygen and moisture. Next, the sample underwent plasma treatment with another gas. In this embodiment, helium plasma technology was used. Because excessive plasma during helium plasma treatment can easily replace adsorbed helium while desorbing Ar, and can further damage the graphene, the sample needed to be appropriately heated before helium plasma treatment. The heating temperature was set to 200℃, and the plasma power and treatment time were strictly controlled. The plasma power was set to 100W, and the treatment time to 10 minutes. Raman characteristics before and after plasma treatment and... Figure 9 Similar, will not be provided again.
[0178] Example 19
[0179] This example is essentially the same as Example 10, except that the desorption method is different. In this example, the two-dimensional crystal material containing the gas to be desorbed is injected with a reverse charge to achieve gas desorption. The specific operation is as follows:
[0180] First, monolayer graphene containing Ar gas, which is adsorbed via charge adsorption, is placed in a gas desorption chamber (a sealed quartz tube capable of vacuuming and heating) as described in Example 1 (the graphene is grown on a copper / nickel single-crystal alloy substrate). The chamber is then evacuated and cleaned with hydrogen three or more times to remove oxygen and moisture. Next, the sample is subjected to an equal amount of reverse charge treatment. During this process, the polarized gas molecules return to their original state under the influence of the reverse charge, thus achieving the desorption of Ar gas. Raman characteristics before and after gas desorption are then analyzed. Figure 9 Similar, will not be provided again.
[0181] Invention C)
[0182] Based on the foregoing content (methods for adsorbing gases from two-dimensional crystals and methods for desorbing gases from two-dimensional crystals), a novel gas separation technology is provided. The gas separation method includes the comprehensive use of two means: a) selective gas adsorption to achieve gas separation, and b) selective gas desorption to achieve gas separation.
[0183] a) Gas separation is achieved using selective gas adsorption, including the following steps:
[0184] 1) Select a two-dimensional crystal material for gas adsorption;
[0185] 2) Place the two-dimensional crystal material into the gas adsorption chamber;
[0186] 3) Introduce the mixed gas to be separated into the gas adsorption chamber;
[0187] 4) Injecting charges into the two-dimensional crystal material placed in the gas adsorption chamber causes the surface of the two-dimensional crystal material to discharge, forming an external electric field;
[0188] 5) Adjust the intensity of the external electric field and the discharge time to achieve selective adsorption of different gases based on the differences in the polarization intensity of gas molecules, thereby achieving the effect of gas separation;
[0189] b) Gas separation is achieved using selective gas desorption, including the following steps:
[0190] 6) Select a two-dimensional crystal material that has already adsorbed the mixed gas;
[0191] 7) Place the two-dimensional crystalline material that adsorbs the mixed gas in the gas desorption chamber;
[0192] 8) Heating the two-dimensional crystal material of the gas to be desorbed in the desorption chamber, and / or subjecting the two-dimensional crystal material of the gas to be desorbed to light radiation, and / or subjecting the two-dimensional crystal material of the gas to be desorbed to plasma treatment, and / or subjecting the two-dimensional crystal material of the gas to be desorbed to electric current treatment.
[0193] 9) By selecting the heating temperature, heating time, and / or light intensity, light wavelength, and / or plasma treatment intensity and time, and / or power treatment intensity and time, the selective release of different adsorbed gases can be achieved, thereby achieving the effect of gas separation.
[0194] 10) Detect the desorbed gas to verify the type and quantity of the gas.
[0195] The technical solution provided by the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings:
[0196] Example 20
[0197] The basic operation involves precisely controlling the adsorption conditions in invention A) above, and controlling the adsorption of different gases to different degrees based on the differences in polarization ability of different gas molecules in the mixed gas, thus achieving preliminary gas separation. Then, precisely controlling the desorption conditions in invention B) above, and achieving further selective desorption of the gases based on the differences in stability of different gas molecules adsorbed on the two-dimensional crystal surface, and finally achieving gas separation through multiple cycles of selective adsorption and desorption processes.
[0198] Using monolayer graphene grown on a copper / nickel single-crystal alloy substrate as raw material, the separation of Ar / H2 gases by graphene was achieved. The specific operation is as follows:
[0199] Selective adsorption process: A monolayer of graphene grown on a copper / nickel single-crystal alloy substrate is placed in a gas adsorption chamber (a sealed quartz tube at room temperature). A mixture of Ar and H2 gas is introduced, and the gas pressure is adjusted to 500 Pa using a pressure valve. An electrostatic generator is used to generate negative charges at a potential of -1.0 kV. These negative charges are transferred to the monolayer graphene through a metal conductor. The current at this point is characterized by a high-precision ammeter, with a detected current density of approximately 1 nA / mm². 2 At this point, the electric field strength of the accumulated charge on the surface is greater than 75 V / mm (the surface electric field strength is calculated by measuring the surface voltage with a voltmeter), and the injection time is approximately 1 minute. Due to the difference in the degree of gas polarization, hydrogen is more easily polarized; therefore, under these conditions, the material surface mainly adsorbs hydrogen.
[0200] Then, by combining selective desorption, since adsorbed Ar has better thermal stability, gas separation can be achieved through temperature gradient differences. Specifically, graphene adsorbed with an Ar / H2 mixture is placed in a gas desorption chamber, and the heating temperature is precisely controlled at 190℃ for 5 minutes. At this point, most of the hydrogen will be desorbed, while Ar remains in an adsorbed state. Desorption of argon requires a higher temperature; the heating temperature can be set to 500℃ for 5 minutes. The STM image showing the partially adsorbed Ar state after hydrogen desorption is shown below. Figure 14 By repeating the above process multiple times, the Ar / H2 mixture can be separated.
[0201] Example 21
[0202] This is basically the same as Example 20, except that the type of two-dimensional crystal used to separate the mixed gas is different. The specific operation is as follows:
[0203] Selective adsorption process: Two-dimensional crystal hBN (in this embodiment, two-dimensional crystal is limited to layered materials bonded together by van der Waals forces, whose surface atoms must have out-of-plane displacement capability, and a thickness of 1-10 nm, including but not limited to single-layer, double-layer, and few-layer hBN, MoS2, MoSe2, MoTe2, NbS2, NbSe2, NbTe2, WS2, WSe2, WTe2, etc. with layered structures) is placed in a gas adsorption chamber (the gas adsorption chamber can be a sealed quartz tube, and the ambient temperature is room temperature). A mixture of Ar and hydrogen gas is introduced, and the gas pressure is adjusted to 500 Pa by a pressure valve. Using an electrostatic generator, negative charges are generated under a potential of -1.0 KV. The emitted negative charges are transferred to the single-layer graphene through a metal conductor. The current at this time is characterized by a high-precision ammeter, and the detected current density is approximately 1 nA / mm. 2 At this point, the electric field strength of the accumulated charge on the surface is greater than 75 V / mm (the surface electric field strength is calculated by measuring the surface voltage with a voltmeter), and the injection time is approximately 1 minute. Due to the difference in the degree of gas polarization, hydrogen is more easily polarized, therefore, hydrogen is the main gas adsorbed on the hBN surface.
[0204] Then, by further combining the selective desorption process, since the thermal stability of adsorbed Ar is better, the gas can be separated by the difference in temperature gradient and time. Specifically, the graphene adsorbed with Ar / H2 mixture is placed in the gas desorption chamber, and the heating temperature is precisely controlled at 190℃ for 5 minutes. At this time, most of the hydrogen will be desorbed, while Ar will still be in the adsorbed state. Desorbing argon requires a higher temperature, so the heating temperature can be set to 500℃ for 5 minutes.
[0205] By repeating the above process multiple times, the Ar / H2 mixture can be separated.
[0206] Example 22
[0207] This is basically the same as Example 20, except that the types of gases to be separated are different; it is helium and hydrogen. The specific operation is as follows:
[0208] Selective adsorption process: A monolayer of graphene grown on a copper / nickel single-crystal alloy substrate is placed in a gas adsorption chamber (a sealed quartz tube at room temperature). A mixture of helium and hydrogen is introduced, and the gas pressure is adjusted to 500 Pa using a pressure valve. An electrostatic generator is used to generate negative charges at a potential of -1.0 kV. These negative charges are transferred to the monolayer graphene through a metal conductor. The current at this point is characterized by a high-precision ammeter, with a detected current density of approximately 1 nA / mm². 2At this point, the electric field strength of the accumulated charge on the surface is greater than 75 V / mm (the surface electric field strength is calculated by measuring the surface voltage with a voltmeter), and the injection time is approximately 1 minute. Due to the difference in the degree of gas polarization, hydrogen is more easily polarized, so the material surface mainly adsorbs hydrogen.
[0209] Then, by combining the selective desorption process, since the thermal stability of adsorbed helium is better, the gas can be separated by the difference in temperature gradient and time. Specifically, the graphene adsorbed with He / H2 mixture is placed in the gas desorption chamber, and the heating temperature is precisely controlled at 190℃ for 5 minutes. At this time, most of the hydrogen will be desorbed, while the helium will still be in the adsorbed state.
[0210] The above process is repeated multiple times to achieve the separation of the He / H2 mixture. Variation-temperature Raman data on the stability differences between hydrogen and helium can be found in [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 15 .
[0211] Example 23
[0212] This is basically the same as Example 20, except that the types of gases to be separated are different; this time it is carbon dioxide and hydrogen. The specific operation is as follows:
[0213] Selective adsorption process: A monolayer of graphene grown on a copper / nickel single-crystal alloy substrate is placed in a gas adsorption chamber (a sealed quartz tube at room temperature). A mixture of helium and hydrogen is introduced, and the gas pressure is adjusted to 500 Pa using a pressure valve.

Due to the difference in the degree of gas polarization, hydrogen is more easily polarized, so the material surface mainly adsorbs hydrogen.
[0214] Then, by further combining the selective desorption process, since adsorbed carbon dioxide has better thermal stability, the gas can be separated by the difference in temperature gradient and time. Specifically, the graphene adsorbed with carbon dioxide / H2 mixture is placed in the gas desorption chamber, and the heating temperature is precisely controlled at 220℃ for 5 minutes. At this time, most of the hydrogen will be desorbed, while the carbon dioxide will still be in the adsorbed state.
[0215] The above process is repeated multiple times to achieve the separation of the carbon dioxide / H2 mixture. Variation-temperature Raman data on the stability differences between carbon dioxide and hydrogen can be found in [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 15 .
[0216] Example 24
[0217] The procedure is basically the same as in Example 20, except that the selective adsorption and selective desorption methods are different. The specific procedures are as follows:
[0218] Selective adsorption process: A single-layer graphene grown on a copper / nickel single-crystal alloy substrate is placed in a gas adsorption chamber (a sealed quartz tube at room temperature), and a mixture of Ar and H2 gases is introduced. In this embodiment, a high-voltage injection method is used, with a high-voltage power supply directly contacting the graphene sample. A high voltage of 5000V is applied to the sample, at which point surface charge accumulates, generating an electric field strength >80V / m. At this point, polarized hydrogen and argon gases are adsorbed on the graphene surface. Due to the difference in polarization, hydrogen gas is mainly adsorbed on the surface.
[0219] Then, a selective desorption process is further incorporated. In this embodiment, either light irradiation or plasma treatment is used. The light wavelength used in this embodiment is 488 nm, the light power is 7 mW, and the irradiation time is 60 min. Light irradiation not only generates a certain amount of heat but also excites the catalytic performance of the two-dimensional crystal, thereby desorbing the gas. Alternatively, plasma treatment is performed with a heating temperature of 200°C, and the plasma power and treatment time are strictly controlled. The plasma power is set to 100 W, and the treatment time is 5 min. Because adsorbed Ar is more stable, it is easier to desorb hydrogen under the same conditions.
[0220] By repeating the above process multiple times, the Ar / H2 mixture can be separated.

Note that the current density is ~2 nA / mm². 2 (In this embodiment, the current density is adjusted to <10nA / mm) 2 To avoid damaging the Mo3C2 sample, and to ensure that the surface field strength generated by its accumulated charge reaches a sufficient threshold, the injection time was approximately 5 minutes. The results showed that, due to inherent limitations of the material, it cannot effectively adsorb gases, and the superconducting properties of Mo3C2 remained almost unchanged before and after treatment.
