Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for preparing titanate / graphite phase carbon nitride / titanium dioxide composite nanomaterials, belonging to the field of composite nanomaterial preparation technology. Background Technology

[0002] The existing technology is as follows:

[0003] 1. The preparation method of graphitic carbon nitride is a simple thermal polycondensation method.

[0004] Specific method: Weigh an appropriate amount of nitrogen-rich precursor and place it in a clean, covered ceramic crucible. Heat the crucible in a muffle furnace to 550℃ at a rate of 2.5℃ / min and hold for 4 hours. After cooling to room temperature, grind it into powder to obtain light yellow graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) powder for later use.

[0005] 2. Layered titanates are prepared using a dilute ammonia hydrothermal method.

[0006] Reference: CN107935034A Few-layer titanium dioxide and its preparation method

[0007] Specific method: Add an appropriate amount of organic titanium salt (Tianate) to 68 ml of 25 wt% ammonia solution, stir and disperse evenly to obtain a suspension, and subject the obtained suspension to hydrothermal reaction treatment at 413.15 K in a high-pressure reactor for 24 hours. After the reaction is completed, obtain the precipitate by filtration or centrifugation, dry it naturally at room temperature, grind it and set it aside for later use to obtain titanate nanosheet material.

[0008] 3. Titanate / graphite phase carbon nitride / titanium dioxide,

[0009] Reference: CN112591792A A simplified method for preparing colored titanium dioxide for photocatalysis

[0010] Specific method: An appropriate amount of organic titanium salt is added to a mixed solution of ethylene glycol and hydrochloric acid, and magnetically stirred until the solution becomes pale yellow and clear. Then, pre-prepared titanate powder and graphitic carbon nitride powder are added, and stirring is continued for 2 hours. The resulting suspension is subjected to hydrothermal reaction treatment at 433.15 K in a high-pressure reactor for 16–24 hours. After the reaction, the precipitate is obtained by filtration or centrifugation, then washed with anhydrous ethanol, and dried to obtain the titanium dioxide / titanium salt / graphitic carbon nitride composite material.

[0011] The excessively wide band gap (3.2 eV) of TiO2 (titanium dioxide) limits its catalytic activity to the ultraviolet (UV) range, resulting in low light utilization and significantly restricting its practical applications. Traditional titanium dioxide photocatalysts are white powders that can only absorb UV light and be excited to generate photocharges, thus performing photocatalytic oxidation or photoelectric conversion. However, they cannot fully utilize the majority of energy from sunlight. In recent years, researchers both domestically and internationally have been working to improve the full-spectrum absorption performance of titanium dioxide materials through various methods, such as metal and non-metal doping, visible-light-responsive semiconductor material synthesis, and photosensitizer sensitization.

[0012] g-C3N4 (graphitic carbon nitride) has high photogenerated electrons, high hole recombination rate, and limited active sites, resulting in a small specific surface area and making it difficult to recycle after use.

[0013] Recent studies have shown that the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 hybridized with g-C3N4 is enhanced due to its unique heterojunction structure. Therefore, preparing TiO2 / g-C3N4 heterojunction photocatalysts is a promising strategy for improving charge separation and enhancing the photocatalytic performance of TiO2. The composite TiO2 / g-C3N4 material can absorb both ultraviolet and visible light.

[0014] Both g-C3N4 and TiO2 are commonly used photocatalytic materials in photocatalysis technology. In recent years, researchers have tended to combine TiO2 and TiO2 to achieve complementary advantages. The resulting TiO2 / g-C3N4 composite material can absorb both ultraviolet and visible light. Furthermore, a heterojunction is formed between the g-C3N4 and TiO2 interfaces, significantly reducing the recombination rate of photogenerated electrons and holes in g-C3N4, thereby enhancing its photocatalytic performance. Conventional photocatalysts are modified before the composite process and then synthesized through a simple hydrothermal reaction. This invention improves the band gap of TiO2 by adding ethylene glycol solvent during the hydrothermal reaction, allowing it to retain certain catalytic performance under visible light. Simultaneously, it is composited with g-C3N4, and an appropriate amount of titanate is added to increase its specific surface area. The resulting composite material possesses certain adsorption and degradation capabilities. Summary of the Invention

[0015] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is that conventional photocatalysts are less efficient at degrading organic pollutants than composite nano-photocatalyst materials.

[0016] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a method for preparing titanate / graphite-phase carbon nitride / titanium dioxide composite nanomaterials: titanate nanomaterials are prepared via a high-pressure hydrothermal method; graphite-phase carbon nitride nanomaterials are prepared via thermal polycondensation; tetrabutyl titanate, the prepared titanate nanomaterials, and the graphite-phase carbon nitride material are added to a mixture of ethylene glycol and hydrochloric acid and subjected to pressurized hydrothermal treatment to obtain the titanate / graphite-phase carbon nitride / titanium dioxide composite nanomaterials. The resulting composite product is light brown and possesses advantages such as stable properties, resistance to discoloration, and high degradation efficiency.

After the reaction is completed, obtain the precipitate by filtration or centrifugation, dry it naturally at room temperature, grind it and set it aside for later use to obtain titanate nanosheet material.

Then add the titanate nanosheet material prepared in Step 2) and the graphite phase carbon nitride powder prepared in Step 1), and continue stirring. The resulting suspension is subjected to hydrothermal reaction in a high-pressure reactor. After the reaction is completed, the precipitate is obtained by filtration or centrifugation, then washed with anhydrous ethanol, and dried to obtain titanium dioxide / titanate / graphite phase carbon nitride composite nanomaterials.
