Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of functional materials technology, and relates to water treatment materials, specifically to a Ti-MOF derivative multifunctional evaporator and its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, freshwater scarcity has become one of the most pressing threats facing humanity. Solar energy, as a green, environmentally friendly, and abundant energy source, is widely used in photovoltaic power generation, solar desalination, and photovoltaic cells. Solar-driven interfacial evaporation technology is one of the most promising technologies in freshwater production. It rapidly evaporates water molecules through perfect interfacial thermal positioning, avoiding heating of the entire bulk phase, significantly reducing heat loss, and increasing the temperature of the evaporation surface. This expands the range of rainwater, mine water, and neutral water sources for purification by obtaining pure water from more diverse sources. Unconventional water resources often contain various pollutants, such as metal ions, organic matter, and microorganisms. These pollutants can adsorb into the evaporator, covering photoactive sites, blocking water transport channels, and reducing evaporation efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, combining solar evaporation with water purification technology can effectively solve the above problems. Fortunately, photocatalysis, as an environmental purification technology, has the advantages of high efficiency, environmental friendliness, low energy consumption, and no secondary pollution. In addition, heat has a positive effect on photocatalysis; high temperature enhances the carrier transfer and separation of semiconductors, and improves the ability and efficiency of molecular oxygen activation. The combination of solar evaporation and water purification technology has high application potential in purifying unconventional water sources. Li et al. synthesized a 2D / 2D reduced graphene oxide / polypyrrole (c-GPP) aerogel with photocatalytic degradation and photothermal evaporation properties through interface confinement. The broad spectral response of rGO and PPy endowed the aerogel with excellent light collection ability and promoted the generation of photogenerated carriers. This resulted in excellent photothermal performance and photogenerated electron-hole separation efficiency. (Desalination, 2024, 117295) Han et al. prepared a self-floating photothermal photocatalytic membrane, which consists of a photothermal layer, a photocatalytic layer, and a hydrophobic layer. The construction of photothermal-photocatalysts can significantly improve the light intensity loss caused by light passing through the solution in traditional photothermal-photocatalytic systems, and has great application potential in the field of treating organic pollutants in wastewater using sunlight. (CN116237074A) Dong et al. loaded titanium dioxide and carbon nitride into the porous capillary structure of wood using a solvothermal method, and then carbonized it to obtain a lignocellulosic carbon material with photocatalytic and photothermal properties. This material can effectively improve the light response range and photocatalytic activity of the composite material. (CN115805065A) However, the materials used in the above methods are expensive, the preparation process is complex, and the energy consumption is high, which is not conducive to large-scale preparation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a multifunctional evaporator based on Ti-MOF derivatives, its preparation method, and its applications. This invention produces a multifunctional evaporator based on Ti-MOF derivatives with high photocatalytic activity, high photothermal conversion performance, and good chemical stability. Furthermore, the preparation process is simple and low-cost, and it offers significant benefits in water treatment and other fields.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution:

[0006] A method for preparing a multifunctional evaporator based on Ti-MOF derivatives includes the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: Functionalize the carbon felt by encapsulating it with polydopamine, then wash it with water and vacuum dry it to obtain the functionalized carbon felt;

[0008] Step 2: NH2-MIL-125(Ti) is loaded onto the surface of functionalized carbon felt by hydrothermal method. The synthesized composite material is washed with methanol and vacuum dried to obtain carbon felt functionalized with NH2-MIL-125(Ti).

[0009] Step 3: Calcine the carbon felt loaded with NH2-MIL-125(Ti) functionalized obtained in Step 2 at 100-1000℃ in air or argon atmosphere for 1-10 hours, with a heating rate of 1-10℃ / min, to obtain a Ti-MOF derivative multifunctional evaporator.

[0010] Preferably, the method for functionalizing carbon felt by encapsulating polydopamine in step one includes:

[0011] The carbon felt was immersed in Tris-Cl (pH=8.5) solution for 1 hour, then dopamine hydrochloride was added to a concentration of 0.1-20 mg / mL and kept under magnetic stirring for another 10-30 hours. Finally, it was washed with water and vacuum dried to obtain functionalized carbon felt.

[0012] Preferably, the method for loading NH2-MIL-125(Ti) onto the surface of a functionalized carbon felt in step two includes:

[0013] Add 0.1-1g of 2-aminoterephthalic acid and 0.1-1g of tetrabutyl titanate to 1-30mL of DMF, then add 1-30mL of methanol and stir for 30min. Then add the functionalized carbon felt prepared in step one and stir for 15min. After magnetic stirring, transfer the mixture to a 100mL reactor and hydrothermally react at 100-300℃ for 10-30h.

[0014] Preferably, the vacuum drying temperature in steps one and two is 70°C.

[0015] The present invention also protects a multifunctional evaporator of Ti-MOF derivative prepared by the method described above and its application in water treatment.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects:

[0017] The preparation method of the present invention first treats the product by encapsulating polydopamine, then further grows NH2-MIL-125(Ti) in situ on a functionalized carbon felt, and then performs a carbonization step to prepare a multifunctional evaporator of Ti-MOF derivative with photothermal-photocatalytic synergy.

[0018] The original three-dimensional interwoven network structure of the carbon felt is beneficial for light collection. The introduction of polydopamine and NH2-MIL-125(Ti) improves the hydrophilicity of the carbon felt, providing a convenient channel for water transport. Simultaneously, during photocatalysis, the carbon felt accelerates electron transfer and improves the efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole separation. The Ti-MOF derivative multifunctional evaporator prepared in this invention achieves an evaporation rate of 2.21 kg / m³ under one day of sunlight. 2 Furthermore, the photothermal and photocatalytic synergistic removal efficiency of 50 mg / L ciprofloxacin solution is twice that of pure photocatalysis, demonstrating high photocatalytic activity, high photothermal conversion performance, and good chemical stability.

[0019] The preparation process of this invention is simple and low-cost, and it has extremely high benefits in water treatment and other fields. Attached Figure Description
