Abstract

This invention provides a slow-release preparation method for a high-loading single-atom catalyst. Compared with existing technologies, this invention utilizes the ion exchange and interlayer confinement effects of montmorillonite to pre-confine the metal precursor within the montmorillonite interlayer, isolating it from the carbon and nitrogen precursors. Then, the reactive gas generated during pyrolysis slowly releases the metal precursor from the interlayer in situ, anchoring it onto the outer carbon and nitrogen support. This slow-release synthesis strategy enables targeted synthesis at single-atom sites, offering advantages such as high metal precursor utilization, pure single-atom sites, and high metal loading. Furthermore, the slow-release anchoring of the metal precursor effectively avoids nanoparticle formation, eliminating the need for subsequent acid washing and significantly reducing secondary pollution and high costs. In addition, the slow-release synthesized single-atom catalyst, when used to catalyze the activation of hydrogen peroxide to remove pollutants from water, exhibits advantages such as strong oxidative degradation ability, high pollutant removal efficiency, good catalytic stability, and a wide pH range.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of catalysts, and particularly relates to a slow-release preparation method of a high-loading single-atom catalyst and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the past decade, single-atom catalysts (SACs) have been proven to have superior reactivity, selectivity and stability in various industrial catalytic processes compared with nanoscale particles and clusters. In addition, the maximum atomic utilization efficiency of SACs brings new opportunities for high-cost and low-abundance noble metals in practical applications. In SACs, the metal center and its microenvironment jointly determine the catalytic performance, and therefore, controllable anchoring and efficient modulation of the electronic structure of single-atom centers are crucial for synthesizing high-performance SACs. However, the synthesis of high-loading, site-uniform and high-performance single-atom catalysts for practical applications is still a challenge. This is mainly because single-atom metals have high surface free energy and are prone to agglomeration and even react with other functional groups to generate oxides, nitrides and sulfides and other impurities during preparation and use.

[0003] Although various synthesis strategies based on physical and chemical methods have been developed, the current synthesis and modulation methods are mainly a static thinking, that is, the support properties are changed through doping, defects, metal-support interactions and strain, and then the coordination structure and electronic properties of the metal center are modulated. These strategies often involve complex processes (such as acid washing) and special equipment, which not only greatly reduce the utilization efficiency of metal precursors, but also easily cause secondary pollution and high cost. In order to overcome the challenge of fast growth, the large number of generation of high-reactivity anchoring sites and the limited supply of uniform metal precursors are very important for controllable single-atom anchoring to reduce side reactions and nano-aggregation. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a strategy to realize selective anchoring of specific sites and control of metal self-terminated growth, so as to realize excellent heterogeneous catalysis. The slow-release concept and slow-release process have been proven to be an effective method to improve chemical and biochemical reactions in various fields (such as biological and medical delivery, soil remediation and agricultural fertilization), and therefore, by regulating the dynamic interaction between metal precursors and supports through a slow-release strategy, a new idea is expected to be provided for the synthesis of SACs.
