Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomass catalytic conversion technology, and in particular to a Cu single-atom anchored oxygen-rich defect TiO2 photocatalyst based on photo-regulated selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] The massive consumption of traditional fossil fuels and the increasing difficulty of extraction have led to a tight energy supply. Therefore, developing and utilizing renewable energy sources to accelerate energy structure adjustment and reduce dependence on traditional energy sources is of great significance. Biomass energy, with its wide distribution, abundant varieties, and low cost, and as the only carbon-based renewable resource in nature, is considered the fourth largest energy source after coal, oil, and natural gas. This involves converting renewable biomass resources into fuels and high-value-added fine chemicals needed for daily life. Furthermore, solar energy is the most abundant, inexpensive, and pollution-free renewable energy source. Developing and utilizing semiconductor materials to achieve efficient use of solar energy is of great significance for sustainable production and solving environmental pollution problems. Semiconductor photocatalysis technology, as an emerging technology, can effectively convert light energy into chemical energy, enabling the synthesis of various small energy molecules and fine chemicals, as well as the decomposition of pollutants, which aligns with the sustainable development strategy.

[0003] 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) can be obtained from biomass such as lignocellulose and has been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy as one of the 12 most important biomass platform compounds. The selective oxidation of HMF to DFF, FDCA, 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furanocarboxylic acid (HMFCA), and 5-formyl-2-furanocarboxylic acid (FFCA) has been a focus of research. Among these, DFF and FDCA have greater economic value. Traditional chemical oxidation techniques often lead to over-oxidation and mineralization of HMF, accompanied by complex side reactions. Therefore, developing an environmentally friendly HMF oxidation catalytic system is crucial. Photocatalytic aerobic oxidation is a mild, low-energy-consumption, controllable, and sustainable oxidation method with great potential for the value-added conversion of biomass HMF.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail. This detailed description should not be considered as a limitation of the present invention, but rather as a more detailed description of certain aspects, features, and embodiments of the present invention.

[0026] It should be understood that the terminology used in this invention is merely for describing particular embodiments and is not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, with respect to numerical ranges in this invention, it should be understood that each intermediate value between the upper and lower limits of the range is also specifically disclosed. Any stated value or intermediate value within a stated range, as well as each smaller range between any other stated value or intermediate value within said range, is also included in this invention. The upper and lower limits of these smaller ranges may be independently included or excluded from the range.

[0027] Unless otherwise stated, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. While only preferred methods and materials have been described herein, any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein may be used in the implementation or testing of this invention. All references to this specification are incorporated by way of citation to disclose and describe methods and / or materials associated with those references. In the event of any conflict with any incorporated reference, the content of this specification shall prevail.

[0028] Various modifications and variations can be made to the specific embodiments described in this specification without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Other embodiments derived from this specification will also be apparent to those skilled in the art. This specification and embodiments are merely exemplary.

[0029] The terms “include,” “including,” “have,” “contain,” etc., used in this article are all open-ended terms, meaning that they include but are not limited to.

[0030] In this invention, room temperature is defined as 15-35°C.

[0031] Single-atom catalysts possess isolated active sites and maximize atom utilization. TiO2 stands out in the field of photocatalysis due to its low toxicity, low cost, and good chemical and physical stability. In this invention, TiO2 is modified by loading Cu single atoms to form a special structure, thereby improving its photocatalytic performance and achieving the controllable photo-driven oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-dicarboxyfuran (DFF) or 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA).

[0032] Specifically, one of the technical solutions of this invention is a method for preparing a Cu single-atom anchored oxygen-rich defect TiO2 photocatalyst, comprising the following steps:

[0033] Ti-based metal-organic frameworks (denoted as MIL-125) were prepared by dissolving terephthalic acid and Ti precursor in solvent I and reacting them via a solvothermal reaction.

[0034] The Ti-based metal-organic framework was immersed in an aqueous solution of copper salt, followed by centrifugation and drying to obtain Cu-supported MIL-125 catalyst material (denoted as Cu-MIL-125);

[0035] Calcining the Cu-supported MIL-125 catalytic material yields the Cu single-atom anchored oxygen-rich defect TiO2 photocatalyst (denoted as Cu). x / TiO2).

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, the Ti precursor is tetrabutyl titanate; the molar ratio of terephthalic acid to tetrabutyl titanate is 1:(0.15-0.25), preferably 1:0.20; the temperature of the solvothermal reaction is 150-200°C, and the reaction time is 20-24 h.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, solvent I is a mixed solvent composed of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and methanol; the volume ratio of DMF to methanol is preferably 9:1.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, the copper salt is CuCl2·2H2O; the mass-to-volume ratio of the Ti-based metal-organic framework to water in the aqueous solution of the copper salt is 1g:100-150mL, preferably 1g:120mL; the mass-to-volume ratio of the copper salt to water in the aqueous solution of the copper salt is 5-20mg:60mL.

[0039] In this invention, using copper salt at a concentration higher than the aforementioned parameters can lead to pore blockage of the catalyst, a decrease in the catalyst's specific surface area, and the formation of metal agglomerations into nanoclusters. This, in turn, reduces the number of active sites, hindering the diffusion and adsorption of reactants. Within the mass-to-volume ratio range of copper salt to water in this invention, the products obtained are all photocatalysts with highly dispersed Cu atoms.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, the Ti-based metal-organic framework is immersed in an aqueous solution of copper salt, and the process further includes stirring or sonication to ensure that the Ti-based metal-organic framework is fully bonded to copper ions. The present invention does not impose special limitations on the parameters of stirring or sonication; conventional techniques skilled in the art can be used, such as stirring at room temperature for 1-6 hours.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, before calcining the Cu-supported MIL-125 catalyst material, a step of grinding the Cu-supported MIL-125 catalyst material is also included.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, the calcination temperature is 400-500°C, and the time is 2-6 hours. The present invention removes organic ligands through calcination.

[0043] In this invention, calcination temperatures and times below the aforementioned ranges result in organic ligands and N,N-dimethylformamide remaining in the pores of the catalyst without being sufficiently removed; temperatures and times above the aforementioned ranges cause titanium dioxide to undergo a phase transformation, forming a mixed anatase and rutile phase. Calcination of Cu-supported MIL-125 within the specified parameter ranges yields TiO2 that is entirely anatase phase.

[0044] The preparation method provided by this invention has the following advantages:

[0045] 1. This invention first prepares a Ti-based metal-organic framework (MOF) via a solvothermal method. The MOF is then impregnated in an aqueous solution of a copper salt, followed by calcination to obtain a TiO2 catalyst loaded with Cu single atoms. Notably, by adjusting the ratio of tetrabutyl titanate to terephthalic acid during the preparation of the Ti-based MOF, a Ti-based MOF rich in Ti vacancies was successfully obtained. This ensures that Cu is supported during the impregnation process. 2+ The Cu is firmly adsorbed into the Ti vacancies, allowing the Cu obtained after subsequent calcination to be processed. x In the TiO2 catalyst, Cu exists in the form of single atoms, which avoids the aggregation of Cu atoms during high-temperature processing.

[0046] 2. The catalyst prepared by the method provided in this invention exhibits good stability. Specifically, in the single-atom catalyst prepared by this method, Cu atoms replace Ti atoms in the TiO2 lattice. 5c The Cu-O-Ti coordinate bonds are formed at the positions of the ions, rather than through simple adsorption, which ensures the high stability of the photocatalyst during use. Compared with catalysts prepared directly using commercial TiO2 through impregnation, photodeposition, and other methods, the catalyst prepared in this way is not only more stable but also rich in oxygen vacancies and has a high specific surface area, thus increasing the content of active sites.

[0047] 3. Cu prepared by optimizing synthesis conditions x The TiO2 catalyst exhibits superior selectivity in the catalytic reaction of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. Specifically, in the photocatalytic oxidation reaction, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural is oxidized to 2,5-dicarboxyfuran under visible light conditions and to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid under simulated sunlight conditions. Two oxidation products, rather than a single product, can be obtained by simply adjusting the light source, and high selectivity is achieved while maintaining high conversion rates.

[0048] The second technical solution of the present invention is a Cu single-atom anchored oxygen-rich defect TiO2 photocatalyst prepared by the preparation method described in the above technical solution.

[0049] The third technical solution of the present invention is the application of the above-mentioned Cu single-atom anchored oxygen-rich defect TiO2 photocatalyst in the light-driven controllable oxidation of HMF to DFF or FDCA.

[0050] The fourth technical solution of the present invention is a method for photo-driven controllable oxidation of HMF to DFF or FDCA, wherein 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and the above-mentioned Cu single-atom anchored oxygen-rich defect TiO2 photocatalyst are subjected to photocatalytic oxidation reaction under room temperature and oxygen conditions; the spectral range of the photocatalytic oxidation reaction is 320-780nm.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, when the spectral range is 420-780 nm, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural is selectively oxidized to 2,5-dicarboxyfuran; when the spectral range is 320-780 nm, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural is selectively oxidized to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, the photocatalytic oxidation reaction takes 1-7 hours.

[0053] This invention uses Cu x TiO2, as a photocatalyst, effectively utilizes high-energy photons to activate oxygen, achieving a conversion rate of 79.9%-95.2% for HMF in visible light systems (spectral range of 420-780 nm) and a yield of 71.4%-90.9% for DFF. In simulated sunlight systems (spectral range of 320-780 nm), the conversion rate of HMF reaches 90.4%-98.8%, and the yield of FDCA reaches 86.1%-98.2%. It can efficiently and selectively convert HMF to DFF or FDCA, showing promising application prospects.

[0054] To better understand the present invention, the following embodiments further illustrate the content of the present invention, but the content of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0055] Unless otherwise specified, all raw materials and reagents used in the examples can be obtained through commercial channels.

After cooling, centrifugation, washing, and drying in a vacuum drying oven at 80 °C, a white powder was obtained, which was designated as MIL-125.

[0059] (2) 500 mg MIL-125 was dispersed in 60 mL of deionized water, and then 5 mg CuCl2·2H2O was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h to allow the material to fully bond with Cu ions. After centrifugation, washing, and drying in a vacuum drying oven at 80 °C, Cu-supported MIL-125 catalyst material was obtained, denoted as Cu-MIL-125.

[0060] (3) After grinding Cu-MIL-125 thoroughly, it was calcined at 500℃ for 4 hours to remove the organic ligands. The resulting material was labeled as Cu1 / TiO2.
