Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of ionic polymer synthesis technology, specifically relating to a proton-type ionic liquid hypercrosslinked polymer, its preparation method, and its application in adsorbing carbon dioxide. Background Technology
[0002] Carbon dioxide, as a greenhouse gas, has led to a rapid increase in atmospheric concentration, resulting in a severe greenhouse effect and various climate changes. At the same time, as an important chloride (Cl) compound, carbon dioxide can be converted into fuels or other high-value-added chemicals through thermochemical, photochemical, and electrochemical processes. Therefore, developing green, economical, efficient, and reversible carbon dioxide capture technologies is of great significance.
[0003] Currently, the most commonly used method for separating and purifying carbon dioxide is the organic amine chemical absorption method. However, this method suffers from low absorption capacity of the absorbent, high desorption energy consumption, and self-degradation producing volatile organic compounds, which does not conform to the principles of sustainable development. Ionic liquids, with their extremely low volatility, good solubility, high thermal stability, and designability, offer a new approach for carbon dioxide gas absorption. For example, Blanchard et al. determined the solubility of carbon dioxide in different imidazole-type ionic liquids at different pressures, showing that carbon dioxide can be dissolved in ionic liquids physically, but the solubility is low at atmospheric pressure (Nature 1999, 28). Davis et al. first used amino-functionalized ionic liquids to capture carbon dioxide, achieving a capture capacity of approximately 7 wt% per mole of ionic liquid at atmospheric pressure (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2002, 926). Subsequently, many researchers have developed other amino-containing quaternary phosphonium, imidazole, quaternary ammonium, and pyridine ionic liquids for carbon dioxide capture. However, the high viscosity and low mass transfer of ionic liquids hinder their application.
[0004] In recent years, solid adsorbents based on ionic liquids (such as polyionic liquids) have attracted attention because they not only possess the advantages of ionic liquids but also overcome the shortcomings of pure ionic liquids. However, conventional polyionic liquids are usually non-porous, and their adsorption efficiency needs improvement. For example, studies by Mehrdad et al. have shown that the carbon dioxide adsorption capacity of polyionic liquids with bromide anions is only 0.7 wt%, while that of polyionic liquids with thiocyanate anions is only about 2 wt% (J. Polym. Res. 2021, 346). Therefore, it is of great significance to develop novel composite adsorbents based on ionic liquids through structural adjustment to improve carbon dioxide adsorption capacity. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a proton-type ionic liquid hypercrosslinked polymer, its preparation method, and its application in carbon dioxide adsorption. The proton-type ionic liquid hypercrosslinked polymer obtained by this invention has a hypercrosslinked anionic network structure. Utilizing its high specific surface area, high total pore volume, and exposed multi-nitrogen sites, it significantly improves the carbon dioxide adsorption and separation capacity, thereby achieving efficient, high-capacity, and reversible adsorption of carbon dioxide gas.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0007] A method for preparing a proton-type ionic liquid hypercrosslinked polymer includes the following steps:
[0008] 1) Preparation of ionic liquids: Using a superbase as a proton acceptor and an azole compound as a proton donor, the proton acceptor and proton donor are subjected to an acid-base neutralization reaction under heating and stirring conditions. After the reaction is completed, the obtained liquid is vacuum dried. The product collected after drying is the desired proton-type ionic liquid.
[0009] 2) Hypercrosslinking reaction: Under a nitrogen atmosphere, the proton-type ionic liquid obtained in step 1) is mixed with the crosslinking agent in an organic solvent. Lewis acid is used as a catalyst, and the reaction is carried out under heating and stirring conditions. After the reaction is completed, the reacted material is cooled to room temperature and then filtered. The precipitate obtained by filtration is washed until the filtrate is clear and transparent. Finally, the washed precipitate is dried. The product collected after drying is the proton-type ionic liquid hypercrosslinked polymer to be prepared.
[0010] Further, in step 1), the superbase proton acceptor is one of 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene (DBN), 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), or 7-methyl-1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (MTBD); and the proton donor is one of pyrazole (Pyrz), imidazole (Im), 124-triazole (124-Triz), 123-triazole (123-Triz), or tetrazolium (Tetz).
[0011] Furthermore, in step 1), the molar ratio of proton acceptor to proton donor is 1:1; the reaction temperature is 25~60°C; and the reaction time is 3~24h.
[0012] Further, in step 2), the crosslinking agent is one of p-dichlorobenzyl (DCX), p-dibromobenzyl (DBX), benzyl chloride (BC), and benzyl bromide (BB); the organic solvent is one of dichloromethane (DCM), trichloromethane (TCM), and dichloroethane (DCE); and the Lewis acid is one of aluminum chloride, ferric chloride, and zinc dichloride.
[0013] Further, in step 2), the molar ratio of proton-type ionic liquid to crosslinking agent is 1:1~7; the molar ratio of proton-type ionic liquid to Lewis acid is 1:1~50; the reaction temperature is 25~100°C; and the reaction time is 4~24h.

It has a good adsorption capacity for carbon dioxide and can effectively capture carbon dioxide.
[0020] 2) The proton-type ionic liquid hypercrosslinked polymer prepared by this invention has a high specific surface area, high total pore volume and exposed multi-nitrogen sites, which significantly improves the carbon dioxide adsorption and separation capacity, thereby achieving efficient, high-capacity and reversible adsorption of carbon dioxide gas;
[0021] 3) When the molar ratio of proton-type ionic liquid to crosslinking agent is 1:5, the proton-type ionic liquid hypercrosslinked polymer exhibits abundant pores, with a BET surface area reaching 1800 m². 2 g −1 At 100 kPa, the adsorption capacities for carbon dioxide and nitrogen were 3.32 mmol g, respectively. −1 and 0.0195 mmol g −1 The selectivity of carbon dioxide / nitrogen reaches 170;

[0032] 1) Synthesis of ILHCP-1
[0033] 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene (DBN) was mixed with an equimolar amount of pyrazole (Pyrz) and stirred at 60°C for 3 hours without solvent. The reactants were then cooled to room temperature to form a homogeneous, transparent and stable liquid. The liquid was then vacuum dried at 60°C for 12 hours to obtain the [DBNH][Pyrz] ionic liquid.
[0034] Under a nitrogen atmosphere, a reaction mixture containing [DBNH][Pyrz] (5 mmol), p-dichlorobenzyl (DCX) (25 mmol), dichloroethane (DCE) (100 ml), and ferric chloride (60 mmol) was stirred at 80°C for 24 hours. After the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, it was filtered. The precipitate obtained by filtration was washed with water and ethanol until the filtrate was clear and transparent. Finally, the solid was vacuum dried at 80°C for 24 hours. After drying, the [DBNH][Pyrz]-based hypercrosslinked polymer ILHCP-1 was obtained.
