Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a proton-conducting organic porous membrane catalyst, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the field of photocatalysis technology. Specifically, it relates to a method for preparing an organic porous thin-film photocatalyst that combines light capture, charge separation, and proton conduction characteristics, and its application in the photocatalytic total water splitting process for hydrogen and oxygen separation. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the massive consumption of fossil fuels has not only triggered an energy crisis, but the large amounts of byproducts emitted from their combustion have also exacerbated increasingly severe global warming and air pollution. Photocatalytic water splitting is a promising solar-powered hydrogen and oxygen production technology that can provide solutions to energy and environmental issues. In the process of photocatalytic water splitting, water is oxidized to oxygen by holes, producing protons, which are then reduced by electrons to produce hydrogen. Because this process generates both hydrogen and oxygen, traditional photocatalytic water splitting technologies require further separation of hydrogen and oxygen for gas purification and to avoid safety issues caused by mixed gases. Furthermore, the high requirements for photocatalysts (e.g., needing to possess both oxygen catalytic oxidation and catalytic reduction sites, light capture, and charge separation functions) limit the variety of existing functionalized, high-efficiency photocatalysts. Therefore, the additional gas separation step and relatively low photocatalytic efficiency hinder the commercialization of photocatalytic water splitting technology.

[0003] Currently, thin-film photocatalysts have attracted much attention. Thin-film photocatalysts typically possess high specific surface areas, providing more catalytic active sites and higher light absorption efficiency. Furthermore, the catalytic performance of thin-film photocatalysts can be tuned by adjusting parameters such as composition and structure, enabling their application in various catalytic reactions under different conditions. In addition, thin-film photocatalysts generally exhibit good chemical and photostability, maintaining catalytic performance under prolonged illumination. In particular, ultrathin two-dimensional thin-film photocatalysts can provide more catalytic active centers and allow more charge carriers to diffuse to the interface for redox reactions, thereby enhancing the efficiency and rate of photocatalytic reactions. Two-dimensional thin-film photocatalysts based on organic porous membranes, due to their highly ordered pore structure and tunable charge transport properties, can utilize efficient charge separation and effective interfacial contact to improve overall photocatalytic reaction efficiency. Simultaneously, introducing proton-loving groups onto organic porous materials can improve proton conductivity, thereby better linking oxygen evolution and hydrogen evolution reactions. However, the application of organic porous membrane catalysts in photocatalytic water splitting is still rarely reported; moreover, how to achieve the automatic separation and production of hydrogen and oxygen during water splitting based on organic porous membrane catalysts remains unsolved.

[0004] Therefore, the design and preparation of organic porous membrane catalysts with special structures and functions, as well as the design and development of photocatalytic total water splitting systems for hydrogen and oxygen separation, have become key challenges. Effectively addressing these challenges is of great significance for achieving low-cost and efficient photocatalytic total water splitting processes. Summary of the Invention
