Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of functional nanomaterials technology, specifically to a method for preparing and applying high-entropy oxide materials. Background Technology
[0002] Formaldehyde (HCHO), a major indoor air pollutant, is widely known for its harmful effects on human health and the environment, such as irritation to the eyes, nose, and throat, allergic asthma, lung damage, and even cancer. Nonthermal plasma (NTP) is considered a promising method for removing HCHO due to its non-equilibrium nature, fast reaction speed, low energy cost, and unique ability to initiate physical and chemical reactions at low temperatures. When plasma is used alone to discharge in an air-like mixture, the formation of O3 is unavoidable. Since O3 also contributes to poor indoor air quality, it should be removed from the treated gas. On the other hand, although O3 itself is a relatively weak oxidant in NTPs compared to •O and •OH radicals, there is great potential to rationally utilize the oxidizing power of O3 by tandem NTPs with catalysts. It is necessary to develop catalysts that can synergistically work with NTPs to improve the removal efficiency of gaseous pollutants, increase the selectivity of desired end products, and minimize the formation of unwanted byproducts.
[0003] High entropy oxides (HEOs), with their unique structural features, customizable elemental composition, and associated tunable functions, have emerged as potential candidates for next-generation catalysts in recent years through entropy engineering. The synthesis methods are directly related to the structural properties of HEO catalysts. HEOs are frequently used in catalysis-related applications in the form of nanoparticles and nanoporous structures to optimize their surface area and active sites, thereby improving catalytic performance. However, traditional HEO preparation methods (solid-state synthesis) rely on high-temperature crystallization, which limits the size of the powder particles (sintering is unavoidable) and prevents them from forming nanoparticles. Atomized spray pyrolysis and flame spray pyrolysis technologies can reduce the size of powder particles by shortening the residence time of the powder at high temperatures, but agglomeration inevitably occurs during the synthesis process.
[0004] Therefore, existing technologies all use high temperatures, which cannot produce nanoscale, papillary spherical particles with nanoscale stacked surfaces. Their performance cannot meet the requirements for efficient degradation of HCHO materials at low temperatures. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and provide a method for preparing high-entropy oxide materials and their applications. By simultaneously improving the formulation and preparation process, a more advanced synthesis method is adopted to achieve rapid low-temperature synthesis of high-entropy oxide nanoparticles. Furthermore, the particle size of most high-entropy oxide particles is controlled to be within 10 nm to 20 nm, while also possessing high specific surface area and oxygen defects. This can solve the technical problems of low catalyst degradation efficiency and numerous by-products in low-temperature plasma synergistic catalysis in existing technologies.

The high-entropy hydroxide is then collected, subjected to high-temperature calcination and ball milling, to obtain spherical high-entropy oxide particles with an average particle size of 15 nm and possessing both high specific surface area and oxygen defects.
[0008] The method for preparing the high-entropy oxide material includes the following steps:

[0014] S6. The high-entropy oxide is placed in a planetary ball mill and ball-milled to obtain nano-high-entropy oxide particles with an average particle size of 15 nm and high specific surface area and oxygen defects.

[0017] In step S2, the concentration of sodium hydroxide is 10-20 wt%.
[0018] In step S4, the oven drying temperature is 60°C and the drying time is 12 hours.
[0019] In step S6, the planetary ball mill rotates at 300 rpm and the milling time is 12 h.
[0020] A high-entropy oxide material is prepared by the aforementioned preparation method; the high-entropy oxide material has an average particle size of 15 nm and simultaneously possesses high specific surface area and oxygen defects; multiple high-entropy oxide material particles are arranged to form a catalytic surface with multi-dimensional papillary structures.
