Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an ordered mesoporous tungsten disulfide semiconductor material, its preparation method and application, belonging to the field of advanced nanoporous materials. Background Technology

[0002] With the further development of science and technology and the economy and society, the demand for high-performance sensors is increasing. Among them, gas sensors have shown great promise in health monitoring, the Internet of Things, smart homes, and smart city construction, attracting close attention from researchers (see Nat. Mater. 2020, 19, 203.; ACS Nano 2022, 16, 17778.; Chem. Soc. Rev. 2022, 51, 7260.; Nano lett., 2013 ,13, 2.). Mesoporous materials, due to their advantages such as high porosity and high specific surface area, are widely used in gas sensing, adsorption separation, catalysis, and other fields. Tungsten disulfide (WS2), as a transition metal chalcogenide material, has a layered structure similar to graphene and features high carrier mobility and good mechanical properties. Due to its porous structure and the unique electronic structure and surface properties of transition metal sulfides, mesoporous tungsten disulfide holds promise for applications in high-performance gas sensors (see Adv. Energy Mater. 2016, 1501814). Currently, numerous ordered mesoporous metal oxide materials are used in gas sensing, such as mesoporous WO3, Al2O3, SnO2, MoO3, TiO2, and ZnO (see Small 2023, 2301011; Chem. Mater. 2016, 28, 7997; ACS Cent. Sci. 2022, 8, 1196; Chin. Chem. Lett. 2021, 32, 1994). However, there are currently few reports on the synthesis of mesoporous tungsten disulfide materials and their applications in semiconductor gas sensors. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Objectives of the Invention: The first objective of this invention is to provide an ordered mesoporous tungsten disulfide semiconductor material; the second objective is to provide a method for preparing the ordered mesoporous tungsten disulfide semiconductor material; and the third objective is to provide the application of the ordered mesoporous tungsten disulfide semiconductor material in the preparation of gas sensors, photocatalysis, and photoelectric detection.

[0004] Technical Solution: The present invention discloses an ordered mesoporous tungsten disulfide material, wherein the ordered mesoporous tungsten disulfide material is prepared by using an amphiphilic block copolymer as a template agent and polyoxometalates (POMs) as precursors. The hydrophilic segments of the amphiphilic block copolymer and the polyoxometalates self-assemble in a solvent through electrostatic attraction, causing the metal precursor to adsorb onto the template agent to form a microphase structure and an ordered mesoporous structure. The hydrophobic segments of the amphiphilic block copolymer aggregate in the solvent to form spherical micelles with hydrophobic segments as the core and hydrophilic segments as the shell. The material is obtained by calcining under Ar atmosphere to remove the template agent and decompose the polyoxometalates, followed by calcining in air to remove carbon and then sulfiding.

[0005] Furthermore, the ordered mesoporous tungsten disulfide material has a pore size of 10-50 nm and a wall thickness of 2-10 nm between the ordered mesopores.

[0006] The method for preparing the ordered mesoporous tungsten disulfide material of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0007] (1) Dissolve the amphiphilic block copolymer in an organic solvent and stir until homogeneous to obtain solution A; dissolve polyoxometalates (POMs) in deionized water and stir until homogeneous to obtain homogeneous solution B; mix solution A and solution B and stir until homogeneous to obtain homogeneous solution C.

[0008] (2) Spin-coat homogeneous solution C onto the substrate, evaporate at room temperature, and dry to obtain a substrate carrying the composite film;

[0009] (3) The substrate carrying the composite film was calcined in an argon atmosphere and then calcined in an air atmosphere to obtain an ordered mesoporous WO3 film material.

[0010] (4) The ordered mesoporous WO3 thin film material is placed in a tube furnace for sulfurization to obtain the ordered mesoporous tungsten disulfide material.

[0011] Further, in step (1), the organic solvent is one or more of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and pyridine.

[0012] Further, in step (1), the hydrophilic segment of the amphiphilic block copolymer has a molecular weight of 2500-7500 g / mol and the hydrophobic segment has a molecular weight of 2500-37500 g / mol.

[0013] Furthermore, the amphiphilic block copolymer is polystyrene-polyethylene oxide (PS-) b -PEO), polyethylene oxide-polymethyl methacrylate (PEO- b -PMMA), polystyrene-poly4-vinylpyridine (PS-b -P4VP).

[0014] Further, in step (1), the polyoxometalate is one or more of ammonium metatungstate, ammonium phosphotungstate, silicotungstic acid, and phosphotungstic acid.

[0015] Further, in step (1), the mass ratio of the amphiphilic block copolymer to the polyoxometalate is 1:3-6.

[0016] Further, in step (1), the volume ratio of the deionized water to the organic solvent is 1:5-50.

[0017] Furthermore, in step (2), the substrate is a silicon wafer, a glass plate, or a petri dish.

[0018] Furthermore, in step (2), the time for evaporation at room temperature is 6-12 h.

[0019] Furthermore, in step (2), the drying temperature is 100-150 ℃ and the drying time is 12-24h.

[0020] Further, in step (3), the calcination under an argon atmosphere is to first raise the temperature to 350 ℃ at a heating rate of 1-3 ℃ / min, and then raise the temperature to 400-500 ℃ at a heating rate of 5-10 ℃ / min, and hold the temperature for 1-3 hours.

[0021] Further, in step (3), the temperature is increased to 350-400 ℃ at a heating rate of 5-10℃ / min during calcination in an air atmosphere, and calcined for 1-3 h.

[0022] Further, in step (4), the sulfidation is to place sulfur powder in a quartz crucible at one end of the gas inlet of the tubular furnace, place an ordered mesoporous WO3 thin film material in the center of the tubular furnace, and heat it to 350-450 ℃ at a heating rate of 5-10 ℃ / min, and hold it at that temperature for 0.5-1.0 h.

[0023] Furthermore, by changing the lengths of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic segments of the amphiphilic block copolymer, ordered mesoporous tungsten disulfide materials with different pore sizes, pore wall thicknesses, and specific surface areas can be synthesized.

[0024] Furthermore, by controlling the use of different polyoxometalates, ordered mesoporous tungsten disulfide materials with high crystallinity and high specific surface area, or ordered mesoporous tungsten disulfide materials doped with different elements, can be synthesized.

[0025] The application of the ordered mesoporous tungsten disulfide material described in this invention in the preparation of gas sensors.

[0026] This invention first utilizes an amphiphilic block copolymer as a template agent and polyoxometalates (POMs) as precursors. The hydrophilic segments and POMs self-assemble in a solvent through electrostatic attraction, causing the metal precursor to adsorb onto the template agent to form a microphase structure, which further develops into an ordered mesoporous structure. The hydrophobic segments aggregate in the solvent, forming spherical micelles with hydrophobic cores and hydrophilic shells. The template agent is removed by calcination under an Ar atmosphere, and the POMs are decomposed to obtain a mesoporous WO3 / C composite material. Further calcination in air to remove carbon yields an ordered mesoporous WO3 material. The obtained mesoporous WO3 is then further reduced by sulfur powder in a tube furnace to obtain a uniform mesoporous tungsten disulfide material. Since the molecular weight of the block copolymer and the calcination temperature have a significant impact on the pore size and crystallinity of mesoporous tungsten disulfide, the mesoporous tungsten disulfide material obtained by using this method and appropriately controlling the molecular weight of the block copolymer and the calcination temperature has a pore size between 10-50 nm, a pore wall size between 2-10 nm, and high crystallinity.

[0027] In this invention, low-temperature calcination with sp 2 A template agent with hybrid carbon-carbon double bonds generates an amorphous C-framework to support the formation of a mesoporous structure from the metal salt during high-temperature decomposition. Excess carbon is then removed by air calcination, yielding a pure mesoporous metal oxide structure. Unlike previous methods for generating tungsten disulfide films via chemical vapor deposition, this invention first generates a stable metal oxide structure before sulfurization with sulfur powder. By controlling the sulfurization growth temperature, partially to fully sulfurized mesoporous tungsten disulfide structures can be obtained, thereby improving the crystallinity of the mesoporous tungsten disulfide material.

[0028] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages:

[0029] (1) The ordered mesoporous tungsten disulfide material prepared by the present invention has the characteristics of high specific surface area, controllable pore size, high crystallinity, uniform crystallization, uniform pore wall and high carrier mobility, and has great application prospects in photocatalysis, photoelectric detection and gas sensing.

[0030] (2) Since direct synthesis of mesoporous tungsten disulfide is quite difficult, this invention first uses an amphiphilic block copolymer as a template agent to induce self-assembly of mesoporous tungsten trioxide film through solvent evaporation, and then uses sulfur powder for high-temperature sulfurization to reduce it to mesoporous tungsten disulfide film. The two-step synthesis of ordered mesoporous tungsten disulfide material has the advantages of readily available raw materials, simple operation, and easy reproducibility, and is suitable for large-scale production.
