Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of environmental catalysis technology, and in particular to a MOF derivative containing an Fe-O electron bridge and its preparation and application. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, due to the over-reliance on and abuse of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and antibiotics, large amounts of untreated industrial and agricultural wastewater and domestic sewage containing phenols have been discharged into rivers, lakes, and oceans. This has led to a sharp increase in the concentration of phenolic pollutants in natural aquatic environments, making them difficult to degrade naturally in a timely manner, thus posing a significant threat to environmental safety and ecosystems. MOF (metal-organic framework) catalysts, due to their unique structural characteristics and tunability, have been widely studied and applied in the field of photocatalytic degradation.
[0003] MOFs have become a research hotspot in applications such as water splitting for hydrogen production, CO2 reduction, and degradation of organic pollutants. These materials have great potential in the field of photoelectrocatalysis due to their high specific surface area, abundance of metal / organic ligands, large pore volume, and tunable structure and composition. According to previous reports, MOFs used for photocatalysis include: (1) Amino-modified Fe / Cu-MOF: Studies have shown that the introduction of amino groups can significantly improve the photocatalytic performance of MOF catalysts, especially in the degradation of organic dyes such as Rhodamine B. (2) MOF composites based on POMs (polyoxometalates): These composites can enhance the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants in the aqueous phase, providing an important method to adjust the photocatalytic activity of MOFs. (3) MOFs / g-C3N4 composite photocatalysts: Composite photocatalysts formed by combining MOFs with graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) have been studied for hydrogen production, CO2 reduction, Cr reduction, and degradation of organic pollutants due to their excellent photocatalytic performance.
[0004] However, MOF derivatives exhibit weak water stability, and most are nanoscale in size, making them prone to damage or loss during water treatment and limiting their long-term recyclability. Furthermore, modifications to MOFs still present some limitations. For instance, the utilization rate of H2O2 in the water treatment process involving Fe-based MOFs-activated degradation of bisphenol A is low; and the process relies on ultraviolet light, exhibiting low utilization of visible light.
[0005] UiO-66 is a zirconium (Zr)-based metal-organic framework (MOF) material. Due to its ultra-large specific surface area, excellent pore structure, and flexible tunability, it shows great promise for applications in catalysis, functional materials, and adsorption. The excellent chemical, mechanical, thermal, and water stability of the UiO-66 series of MOFs greatly enhances their prospects for practical applications. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a MOF derivative containing Fe-O electron bridges, as well as its preparation and application. This invention addresses the deficiencies of current methods for constructing Fe-O electron bridge MOFs in terms of preparation methods, structural regulation, degradation efficiency, and visible light utilization, and provides a simple, easy-to-implement, structurally stable, and highly efficient method for constructing MOF derivatives containing Fe-O electron bridges and its preparation method.
[0007] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0008] A method for preparing MOF derivatives containing Fe-O electron bridges includes the following steps:
[0009] Iron salts and MOF materials are mixed in an organic solvent, and the resulting mixture is heated to react until the solvent evaporates and is dried. After drying, the mixture is washed and then dried again to obtain MOF derivatives containing Fe-O electron bridges.
[0010] Furthermore, the iron salt includes one of ferric chloride, ferric sulfate, or ferric nitrate.
[0011] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the iron salt to the MOF material is 1-1.5:1.
[0012] Furthermore, the heating reaction is carried out at a temperature of 70-90°C for 8-12 hours, preferably at 80°C for 12 hours.
[0013] Furthermore, the preparation process of the MOFs material includes: dispersing zirconium metal salt and terephthalic acid in N,N-dimethylformamide organic solvent, acidifying, and carrying out a solvothermal reaction to obtain the MOFs material.
[0014] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the zirconium metal salt to terephthalic acid is (1-2):1.
[0015] Furthermore, the temperature of the solvothermal reaction is 100-200℃, and the reaction time is 24-30h.
[0016] A MOF derivative containing Fe-O electron bridges was prepared by the above-described preparation method, wherein the MOF derivative has an octahedral structure and a particle size of 0.55-1.1 μm.
[0017] Application of a MOF derivative containing an Fe-O electron bridge for the removal of bisphenol A from polluted water.
[0018] Furthermore, this includes the following steps:
[0019] MOF derivatives, hydrogen peroxide, and bisphenol A-contaminated water were mixed and subjected to a degradation reaction under light.
[0020] The amounts of MOF derivatives added per liter of polluted water are 0.1 mg to 1.0 mg; hydrogen peroxide added per liter of polluted water is 0.2 mmol to 2.0 mmol; the initial concentration of bisphenol A in the polluted water is 1 mg / L to 100 mg / L; the initial pH value of the polluted water is 3.0 to 11.0; and the wavelength of light used during illumination is 390 nm to 780 nm.

[0022] Application of a MOF derivative containing an Fe-O electron bridge for the removal of bisphenol A from polluted water.
[0023] Furthermore, this includes the following steps:
[0024] MOF derivatives, hydrogen peroxide, and bisphenol A-contaminated water were mixed and subjected to a degradation reaction under light.
[0025] The amounts of MOF derivatives added per liter of polluted water are 0.1 mg to 1.0 mg; hydrogen peroxide added per liter of polluted water is 0.2 mmol to 2.0 mmol; the initial concentration of bisphenol A in the polluted water is 1 mg / L to 100 mg / L; the initial pH value of the polluted water is 3.0 to 11.0; and the wavelength of light used during illumination is 390 nm to 780 nm.
[0026] This invention employs a strategy to improve the photocatalytic performance of UiO-66 through defect engineering. By introducing defect sites, the photoelectric properties of UiO-66 can be altered, increasing its light absorption and improving charge separation efficiency. This provides additional advantages for iron loading, as the defect sites can serve as anchoring sites for iron nanoparticles. Modification of UiO-66 includes the selection of metal nodes, functionalization of organic linkers, defect engineering, and foreign metal loading, among which foreign metal loading involves loading metals such as iron onto UiO-66 to enhance photocatalytic performance.
[0027] Compared to previously reported catalysts, UiO-66 supported on iron introduces an Fe-O electron bridge. The Fe sites accept photogenerated electrons from the conduction band and react with H₂O₂ to produce a large amount of ·OH. Simultaneously, electrons are transferred to Zr sites via the Fe-O electron bridge. The Zr sites accept photogenerated electrons and transfer them to oxygen molecules to generate ·O₂. - This improves the oxidation capacity of the entire reaction system. It not only enhances the light absorption capacity of UiO-66 but also strengthens the separation and transfer efficiency of its photogenerated charges, thereby improving photocatalytic performance.
[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0029] 1) The Fe-O electron bridge MOF derivative constructed in this invention exhibits a loose and porous structure, with advantages such as large specific surface area, good conductivity, high stability, and strong visible light utilization. The iron sites can enhance the interaction between adjacent active sites of the MOF derivative and H2O2, which is beneficial to the Fe(III) / Fe(II) cycle structure, improves the degradation efficiency of bisphenol A, and can efficiently degrade bisphenol A in water, showing great application prospects in the field of catalysis.
[0030] 2) The preparation process of this invention is simple and convenient, and the chemical reagents used in this invention are all commonly used reagents, which are inexpensive and safe. Attached Figure Description
