Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photothermal materials, and in particular to a ZIF-67 derived porous carbon / montmorillonite composite material and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Photothermal materials are materials that can efficiently convert solar energy into thermal energy and are an important part of the efficient and comprehensive utilization of solar energy. Common photothermal conversion materials include metal nanoparticles, carbon-based materials and metal oxides, and their preparation methods are relatively mature. Metal nanoparticles are often prepared by chemical reduction and photochemical methods. The former uses a reducing agent to reduce metal ions to nanoparticles, and the latter uses a photosensitizer to reduce under light. Carbon-based materials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene are mostly prepared by chemical vapor deposition and solvothermal methods. The former pyrolyzes hydrocarbon gases under the action of high-temperature catalysts, and the latter reacts in high-temperature and high-pressure solvents to generate porous carbon. Metal oxides such as iron oxide and titanium oxide are often prepared by sol-gel and hydrothermal methods. The former is prepared by hydrolysis and polycondensation of metal organic precursors, and the latter reacts in high-temperature and high-pressure aqueous solutions to generate nanoparticles. However, these preparation methods are usually accompanied by large production costs and energy consumption, which is not conducive to large-scale integrated production of fresh water or treatment of sewage. Summary of the invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to address the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art and to provide a ZIF-67 derived porous carbon / montmorillonite composite material and a preparation method and application thereof.
[0004] The invention discloses a method for preparing a ZIF-67 derived porous carbon / montmorillonite composite material. The method comprises the following steps: placing an appropriate amount of montmorillonite, cobalt nitrate hexahydrate and 2-methylimidazole in a methanol solution, and in-situ growing ZIF-67 particles on the surface of the montmorillonite; and then calcining and carbonizing the composite material to obtain the ZIF-67 derived porous carbon / montmorillonite composite material.
[0005] Furthermore, the mass ratio of montmorillonite, cobalt nitrate hexahydrate and 2-methylimidazole is 1-3:1:1.
[0006] Furthermore, the calcination carbonization temperature is 550-950°C and the time is 2-4h.
[0007] Furthermore, the heating rate of calcination and carbonization is 10°C / min.
[0008] A ZIF-67 derived porous carbon / montmorillonite composite material prepared by the above preparation method.
[0009] An application of the above-mentioned ZIF-67 derived porous carbon / montmorillonite composite material is used as a photothermal conversion material in seawater desalination and sewage treatment.
[0010] The ZIF-67 derived porous carbon / montmorillonite composite material prepared by the present invention has a simple and easy preparation process and has a high light-heat conversion capacity, and the absorbance is more than 90% in the full spectrum; while ensuring the stability of the absorbance, the production efficiency of the ZIF-67 derived porous carbon / montmorillonite composite material far exceeds that of the ZIF-67 derived porous carbon. After calcination, the organic ligand of ZIF-67 decomposes, leaving the nitrogen-doped porous carbon material. This process will cause the quality loss and agglomeration of the porous carbon, thereby affecting the light absorption and production efficiency. After the same mass of ZIF-67 is loaded on montmorillonite and carbonized, the structural regulation in the carbonization process is strengthened, the dispersion of the granular porous carbon is strengthened, and large-scale efficient preparation is achieved.

After dissolving separately, slowly pour 2-methylimidazole into the cobalt nitrate hexahydrate-methanol solution in a straight line, stir at room temperature for 1h and let stand for 24h to obtain a beautiful purple precipitate, which is ZIF-67.

[0031] Figure 1 The light absorption effect of ZIF-67, ZIF-67 derived porous carbon prepared in comparative example 1, and ZIF-67 derived porous carbon / montmorillonite prepared in example 2. After ZIF-67 is calcined into porous carbon, the light absorption capacity is significantly improved. According to the illustration, after ZIF-67 is loaded on MMT and calcined, the light absorption rate is also improved. It is due to the microscopic regulation of porous carbon by MMT, which changes the absorption and scattering of light and improves the light absorption rate. The absorbance is more than 90% in the full spectrum.

[0035] Application Examples
[0036] Preparation of ZIF-67-derived porous carbon / montmorillonite hydrogel
[0037] 0.80g chitosan and 2.40g polyvinyl alcohol were dispersed in a beaker containing 40ml pure water, and heated at 90°C for 3h to melt to obtain a mixed solution. After the mixed solution was cooled to room temperature, 1wt% acetic acid solution was added, and 4wt% ZIF-67 derived porous carbon / montmorillonite composite material (prepared in Example 2) was dispersed by ultrasonic stirring after rapid stirring and crosslinking for 30min. Finally, the solution was poured into an acrylic mold with a diameter of 3cm and a height of 2cm, and low-temperature solidification at -25°C for 6h was performed, and then melted at room temperature, and repeated three times.
[0038] Preparation of ZIF-67-derived porous carbon hydrogel
[0039] The ZIF-67-derived porous carbon / montmorillonite composite material (prepared in Example 2) was replaced by the ZIF-67-derived porous carbon prepared in the comparative example, and the rest was the same as in Example 4 to prepare a ZIF-67-derived porous carbon hydrogel, whose strength was lower than that of the ZIF-67-derived porous carbon / montmorillonite hydrogel prepared in Example 4.
[0040] Desalinated seawater ion concentration test: The hydrogel was placed between a transparent glass cover and a transparent glass plate, and 1 mL of distilled water desalinated in step (5) and 1 mL of undesalinated seawater were collected for inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry test. The ions measured were Na + , K + , Ca 2+ Mg 2+ .
[0041] Figure 5 The desalination effect of the prepared ZIF-67 derived porous carbon / montmorillonite hydrogel; ZIF-67 derived porous carbon / montmorillonite hydrogel was used to desalinate seawater by interfacial evaporation. By collecting the distilled water during the desalination process, it was proved that the hydrogel can effectively remove metal ions in seawater (Yellow Sea seawater), with a metal ion interception rate of up to 98% and a desalination capacity of over 98%.
[0042] Water evaporation capacity test: The hydrogel was placed in a beaker of fresh water, a xenon lamp was used as the solar light source, an optical power meter was used to measure the solar energy functional density, and an electronic balance was used to monitor the mass change of water during the solar energy driven evaporation process. The ambient temperature and humidity were 26°C and 50%, respectively. Under continuous sunlight, the water evaporation rate can reach 2.2 kg m -2 h -1 . Its evaporation enthalpy is 1360 J / g.
[0043] Figure 6 This is a photo of the prepared ZIF-67 derived porous carbon hydrogel. As can be seen from the figure, the mechanical strength is low and the surface of the hydrogel is not smooth enough after demolding and surface damage occurs.
[0044] Figure 7 This is a photo of the prepared ZIF-67 derived porous carbon / montmorillonite hydrogel; due to the introduction of ZIF-67 derived porous carbon / montmorillonite composite materials, the cross-linking sites of the polymer long chains are enriched, and the ZIF-67 derived porous carbon / montmorillonite composite materials have strong mechanical stability. The synergistic effect of the two improves the cross-linking density and mechanical strength. After demolding, the hydrogel surface is smooth and the structure is complete.
