Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to an AgI / Cs3Bi2X9 composite photocatalyst and a preparation method thereof and application in photocatalytic aromatic hydrocarbon ammoxidation, belonging to the technical field of photocatalytic preparation of chemicals. Background Art
[0002] The nitrile group is a ubiquitous functional group in organic synthesis and can be easily used for functional group transformations, including the formation of amines, amides, acids, aldehydes, and heterocycles. Aromatic nitriles, in particular, are widely used in the synthesis of natural products, materials, pesticides, and fuels. There are many synthetic routes for aromatic nitriles, including the traditional Sandmeyer reaction and the Rosenmund-von Braun reaction, in which the highly toxic Cu(I) cyanide is used as a cyanating agent. Other synthetic routes have also been reported, such as the cyanation of halogenated aromatics, the reaction of aromatic aldehydes or carboxylic acids with amino compounds, the dehydration of amides or aldoximes, and the ammoxidation of benzyl alcohol. Gas-phase ammoxidation of CH bonds on V-Cr oxide is an industrial route with high selectivity for nitriles, but requires a high temperature of 350°C. In recent years, it has been reported that heterogeneous manganese oxide catalysts have been successfully used for liquid-phase ammoxidation of CH bonds, and there is also a nano manganese oxide catalyst fixed on a zeolite-1 crystal. In the process of oxidative cyanation with O2 and urea, the catalyst shows good selectivity for nitrile, but these all require high pressure conditions. At the same time, it has been reported that a nitrile compound can be obtained under mild conditions using an organic dye as a catalyst, but the ammonia source used is hydroxylamine, which is more expensive. Therefore, from the perspective of environmental friendliness and economic benefits, it is of great significance to develop a green and stable method for synthesizing nitrile compounds.
[0003] Photocatalysis is a new and effective green technology. Semiconductor photocatalysis is considered to be an effective way to solve energy and environmental problems. Cs3Bi2X9 is a typical inorganic halide perovskite structure semiconductor. Due to its low toxicity and excellent chemical stability, it has attracted widespread attention in the field of photoluminescence and photocatalysis. At present, it has been reported that Cs3Bi2Br9 can be used to activate Csp3Bi2Br9 in toluene oxidation. 3 -H bond reaction system, a highly selective product is obtained. At the same time, in the field of photocatalysis, Cs3Bi2X9 is widely used in CO2 reduction, air pollutant purification, dye degradation and organic conversion. AgI materials have good conductivity and visible light absorption capacity, and have also received extensive attention in the field of photocatalysis. Compared with most semiconductor materials, AgI has a more negative conduction band potential. Combining it with other materials can effectively promote the separation of carriers.

[0025] The present invention is further illustrated by examples below, but is not intended to be limiting of the present invention. The specific materials used in the embodiments of the present invention and their sources are provided below. However, it should be understood that these are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the present invention, and materials identical or similar to the types, models, qualities, properties or functions of the following reagents and instruments can be used to implement the present invention. The experimental methods used in the following examples are conventional methods unless otherwise specified. The materials, reagents, etc. used in the following examples, unless otherwise specified, can all be obtained from commercial sources.
[0026] Example 1: Preparation of photocatalyst AgI / Cs3Bi2Br9
[0027] Taking the photocatalyst 20% AgI / Cs3Bi2Br9 as an example, the anti-solvent method is used for synthesis. The specific preparation method is as follows:
[0028] Weigh 0.64g CsBr, 0.9g BiBr3 and 0.39g AgI and dissolve them in 10mL dimethyl sulfoxide solvent. Stir until completely dissolved, then slowly drop into 50mL isopropanol while stirring to obtain a yellow precipitate. The precipitate is centrifuged and washed with isopropanol, and the precipitate is dried in an oven at 100°C for 24h to obtain a 20% AgI / Cs3Bi2Br9 composite material. The amount of AgI used can be changed to obtain composite catalysts of different proportions. The scanning tunneling electron microscope (STEM) image of the catalyst sample prepared in Example 1 is shown in FIG. Figure 1 The X-ray diffraction characterization data are shown in Figure 2 As shown, from Figure 1 It can be seen that Cs3Bi2Br9 and AgI are block particles. Figure 2 It can be seen that the prepared composite material is consistent with the standard card peaks of Cs3Bi2Br9 and AgI, indicating that the composite material is composed of two phases, Cs3Bi2Br9 and AgI.
[0029] Example 2: Preparation of benzonitrile
[0030] Preparation of benzonitrile: Weigh 50 mg of 20% AgI / Cs3Bi2Br9 into a 20 mL stainless steel reactor with a glass window, add 5 mL of toluene, introduce 60% NH3 and 40% O2, total pressure 5 bar, raise the temperature to 120°C, turn on the 450 nm LED light source, and irradiate the reaction through the glass window for 20 hours. After the reaction is completed, turn off the light source.
[0031] The gas chromatography (GC) of the product is shown in Figure 3 As shown. The yield of each product (such as benzonitrile) and the selectivity of benzonitrile can be calculated based on the peak area of each substance. In this embodiment, the yield of benzonitrile is 300 μmol and the selectivity is 92%. If the reaction time is extended, the selectivity of benzonitrile can be continuously improved and can exceed 98% (after 80 hours).
[0032] The reaction formula of the above reaction is shown in the following formula (2):
[0033]
[0034] Example 3
[0035] When other conditions remain unchanged, the light source is changed to 410nm, and the yield of benzonitrile is 240μmol, and the selectivity is 84%. When the pressure is adjusted to 1bar, the yield of benzonitrile is 140μmol, and the selectivity is 34%. When the reaction temperature is adjusted to 80℃, the yield of benzonitrile is 130μmol, and the selectivity is 88%. When the oxygen concentration is adjusted to 20%, the yield of benzonitrile is more than 250μmol, and the selectivity is 91%. When the oxygen concentration is adjusted to 80%, the yield of benzonitrile is more than 280μmol, and the selectivity is 89%.
[0036] When other conditions remain unchanged, the relationship between the yield and selectivity of the product and the content of AgI in the photocatalyst is as follows: Figure 4 As shown. It can be seen that the mass proportion of AgI between 10% and 40% can maintain high selectivity and yield, while the yield and selectivity of pure Cs3Bi2Br9 are relatively low; pure AgI has a higher yield, lower selectivity, and AgI is unstable.
[0037] Example 4: Preparation of p-Fluorobenzonitrile
[0038] The preparation steps and conditions were the same as those in Example 2, except that the raw material was replaced with 5 mL of p-fluorotoluene.
[0039] The gas chromatography (GC) of the product is shown in Figure 5 The yield and selectivity of p-fluorobenzonitrile can be calculated based on the peak area of each substance. In this embodiment, the yield of p-fluorobenzonitrile is 170 μmol and the selectivity is 82%.
[0040] The reaction formula of the above reaction is shown in the following formula (3):
[0041]
[0042] In summary, the present invention prepares a composite photocatalyst that can be used to prepare nitrile organic chemicals. The AgI / Cs3Bi2Br9 composite photocatalyst provided by the present invention can realize liquid-phase aromatic hydrocarbon ammoxidation under visible light; and the catalyst has high selectivity and long-term stability under the condition of sufficient reaction gas, and has the potential for industrial application.
