Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a preparation method and application of a photocatalyst, and in particular to a preparation method and application of a boron-doped carbon nitride nanosheet modified with a fullerene derivative. Background Art

[0002] The combustion of fossil fuels produces a large amount of CO2, which has led to an increasingly serious global greenhouse effect. On the other hand, the reserves of fossil fuels are limited, but the global demand for energy is growing, which has led to energy shortages. Using CO2 as a raw material to produce high-calorific value fuels such as CO has become one of the effective solutions to the environmental problems caused by excessive CO2 emissions and the energy shortage caused by limited fossil fuels. Solar energy has the advantages of being green, clean, environmentally friendly, pollution-free, and "inexhaustible". Semiconductor photocatalytic technology has mild reaction conditions and low waste emissions. Therefore, photocatalytic technology that uses solar energy to drive the catalytic reduction of CO2 into high-value chemicals is expected to achieve a "carbon cycle" and is considered to be a technology with broad development prospects.

[0003] Among numerous photocatalyst materials, polymer semiconductor graphene carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is widely used due to its visible light response, non-toxicity, metal-free nature, zero secondary pollution, and low cost. However, its inherent poor charge separation also affects its photocatalytic efficiency. Boron-doped carbon nitride (UBCN) can improve the charge separation efficiency of existing carbon nitride materials to a certain extent, but it also has key issues that need to be addressed, such as slow electron dynamics and insufficient CO2 adsorption capacity during subsequent catalytic reactions.

[0067] 5. Compound:

[0068] 0.0004 g of hydroxylated fullerene C 60 and 0.05 g of acidified boron-doped carbon nitride were dispersed in 20 mL of deionized water, stirred for 12 h, and then heated in a 50 ° C water bath to evaporate the solvent. The obtained solid was the boron-doped carbon nitride nanosheet modified with fullerene derivatives (0.8C 60 OH / UBCN).

The obtained solid was the boron-doped carbon nitride nanosheet modified with fullerene derivatives (1.6C 60 OH / UBCN).

[0072] Figure 1 Transmission electron micrographs of boron-doped carbon nitride nanosheets modified with fullerene derivatives prepared in Example 1, where the scale of (a) is 20 nm and the scale of (b) is 2 nm;

[0073] from Figure 1 (a) It can be seen that the boron-doped carbon nitride nanosheets (0.8C) modified with fullerene derivatives prepared in Example 1 60 OH / UBCN) presents an ultra-thin layer structure; at the 2nm scale, C 60 OH exists ( Figure 1 (b)).

[0074] Figure 2 XRD patterns of boron-doped carbon nitride and fullerene derivative-modified boron-doped carbon nitride nanosheets prepared in Example 1;

[0075] from Figure 2 It can be seen that the weak diffraction peak at 13.1° is attributed to the repeated tris-triazine unit (100) in the plane, and there is a strong and sharp diffraction peak at 27.3°, which corresponds to the interlayer stacking (002) structure. 60 Comparing the UBCN modified with OH and the unmodified UBCN, the XRD patterns show that the diffraction peaks have not moved, which indicates that C 60 The introduction of OH has little effect on the crystal structure of UBCN.

[0076] In order to verify that hydroxyl C 60 Whether it is successfully modified on UBCN, UBCN, C 60 OH, 0.8C 60 OH / UBCN conducted Raman tests, such as Figure 3 As shown;

[0077] Figure 3 Boron-doped carbon nitride and hydroxyfullerene C prepared in Example 1 60 and Raman spectra of boron-doped carbon nitride nanosheets modified with fullerene derivatives;

[0078] from Figure 3 It can be seen that different samples have different -1 and 1580cm -1 There are two bands near the hydroxyfullerene C, which belong to the D band and the G band respectively. 60 The D and G bands of the modified UBCN sample are both located at C 60 Between the D band and G band of OH and UBCN, it indicates that at 0.8C 60 C in OH / UBCN materials 60 A strong interaction is generated between OH and UBCN.

[0079] The TEM, XRD and Raman spectra of the samples showed that C 60 Successful synthesis of OH / UBCN.

[0080] In terms of performance, the effects of UBCN and different amounts of hydroxyfullerene C 60 The modified UBCN was tested for hydroxyl radicals, such as Figure 4 As shown;

[0081] Figure 4 The hydroxyl radical test spectra of boron-doped carbon nitride and boron-doped carbon nitride nanosheets modified with fullerene derivatives prepared in Examples 1 to 4;

[0082] from Figure 4 It can be seen that: Hydroxyfullerene C 60 The fluorescence signals of 7-hydroxycoumarin produced by the modified UBCN samples were stronger than those of UBCN, indicating that they had a stronger ability to promote charge separation.

[0083] Figure 5 Fluorescence spectra of boron-doped carbon nitride and boron-doped carbon nitride nanosheets modified with fullerene derivatives prepared in Examples 1 to 4;

[0084] Figure 5 The fluorescence spectrum shown also confirms this point. 60 The fluorescence signal of the modified UBCN was greatly reduced, which was consistent with the results of the hydroxyl radical test, and the optimal modification amount was 0.8C 60 OH / UBCN.

[0085] Cut the purchased conductive glass into the desired size and shape, then wash it and set aside. Next, prepare the paste solution; the method is to mix 0.1mL of naphthol and 0.9mL of anhydrous ethanol, stir, add 0.1g of sample, and continue stirring for a long time until the solution is completely dispersed. Then, apply the stirred solution on the FTO glass sheet, place it in a vacuum drying oven at 60℃ until it is dry, and then place it in the electrochemical device for testing. Figure 6 As shown, for UBCN and C 60 The OH / UBCN samples were subjected to electrochemical reduction tests.

[0086] Figure 6 Electrochemical reduction curve of boron-doped carbon nitride and fullerene derivative-modified boron-doped carbon nitride nanosheets prepared in Example 1 under CO2 conditions;

[0087] from Figure 6 It can be seen that: 0.8C 60 OH / UBCN has a smaller onset potential than UBCN, indicating that C 60 In addition to its ability to capture photogenerated electrons, OH also has the catalytic ability to activate CO2 molecules.

[0088] Figure 7 CO2 adsorption isotherm of boron-doped carbon nitride and fullerene derivative-modified boron-doped carbon nitride nanosheets prepared in Example 1;

[0089] Figure 7 Indicates that hydroxyl C 60 It has the ability to promote the UBCN photocatalyst to adsorb more CO2.

[0090] First, 0.01g of sample was dissolved in 10mL of deionized water. In order to remove the gas in the container, high-purity CO2 gas was introduced into the reaction vessel by bubbling water. The stirring state was maintained during this process for 20min to saturate the system with CO2. Then the introduction of CO2 was stopped and the stirring was turned off to allow CO to fully contact the reactants. The light source for illumination was a 300W xenon lamp. A fixed volume (0.25mL) of gas was extracted from the reaction pool at regular intervals and the extracted gas was injected into a gas chromatograph to analyze the concentration of CO. The instrument model was (GC-7920). 60 The ability of the modified UBCN to reduce CO2 is also greatly improved due to its ability to capture electrons and adsorb CO2. Figure 8 As shown;

[0091] Figure 8 The photocatalytic CO2 reduction activity of boron-doped carbon nitride nanosheets modified with boron-doped carbon nitride and fullerene derivatives prepared in Examples 1 to 4.

[0092] from Figure 8 It can be seen that: Hydroxyfullerene C 60 The modified UBCN has stronger CO2 reduction activity than UBCN, and the sample with the optimal modification amount has the strongest CO2 reduction ability, which is consistent with the above-mentioned charge separation ability test results.
