Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the preparation and application of a catalyst, and in particular to the preparation and application of a silicon-based protein melanin-loaded metal nanoparticle catalyst, belonging to the technical field of catalysts. Background Art
[0002] Metal nanoparticle catalysts are considered to be the most effective heterogeneous catalysts and have been widely used in the synthesis of small molecules (H 2 O,CO 2 ) activation, oxidation, hydrogenation, classical coupling and other industrial heterogeneous catalysis fields. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are few reports on the application of metal nanoparticle catalysts in challenging inert C-H bond activation reactions, especially there are only a few reports on metal nanoparticle catalysts used in regioselective activation reactions promoted by directing groups or chelation-assisted strategies. The key challenge comes from the need for metal nanoparticles anchored on the support to maintain nearly saturated coordination to ensure their stability and anti-aggregation as much as possible, which will lead to a lack of coordination sites at the metal center, making it difficult to adsorb substrates with multiple coordination sites. How to balance the stability and catalytic activity of metal nanoparticles on the support is the key to achieving metal nanoparticle-catalyzed inert bond activation reactions.
[0003] Melanoids are a class of brown, complex macromolecular compounds formed in the late stage of the Maillard reaction, which are commonly found in food. Melanoids contain a large number of N and O coordinated atoms, but since common melanoidins are viscous substances, metal catalysts that directly use melanoidins as carriers have not been reported so far. Summary of the invention
[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is to obtain a new type of silicon-based protein melanin through the Maillard reaction of monosaccharide and silane coupling agent, which is characterized by the silicon-based protein melanin containing a unique silicon-based skeleton and a large number of C=N bonds and C-OH bonds. The present invention uses this multi-special protein melanin as a carrier for the first time, and loads transition metals such as palladium and copper by a simple impregnation method to prepare a metal nanoparticle catalyst with a high load. Catalyst characterization proves that the coordination number of the metal active center in the prepared metal nanoparticle catalyst is about 3.3, which is smaller than the reported metal oxide, modified cellulose and MOF-type carrier-loaded metal nanoparticle catalyst, which makes it exhibit excellent catalytic activity in CH arylation reaction, SUZUKI classic coupling, HECK classic coupling and CN coupling reaction. At the same time, because this unique silicon-based protein melanin structure can effectively prevent the accumulation of metal centers, the silicon-based protein melanin-loaded metal nanoparticle catalyst exhibits excellent stability in the above reactions and can be reused for more than 5 times while still maintaining similar catalytic activity.
[0005] The present invention mainly uses various monosaccharides, disaccharides and silane coupling agents to carry out Maillard reaction under acidic or neutral conditions to obtain a silicon-based protein melanin carrier, and then obtains a metal nanoparticle catalyst loaded with silicon-based protein melanin by an impregnation method. A series of characterizations prove that: silicon-based protein melanin contains a large number of C=N bonds; the introduction of silicon makes protein melanin form a powdery solid similar to clay; in the catalyst obtained by the impregnation method, the metal active sites are dispersed on the carrier at the atomic level.
[0006] The preparation method of silicon-based protein melanin loaded metal nanoparticle catalyst comprises the following steps:
[0007] Step (1) dissolving monosaccharide or disaccharide, silane coupling agent and tartaric acid or lysine in a solvent, heating and stirring for a certain period of time to obtain a mixed solution; preferably, the molar ratio of the monosaccharide or disaccharide, silane coupling agent and tartaric acid or lysine is 1:3-5:0.1-0.4.
[0008] The monosaccharides are glucose, fructose, mannose, galactose, xylose, ribose and arabinose, and the disaccharides are lactose and sucrose.
[0009] The silane coupling agent is 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTM), 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTE), and phenyltrimethoxysilane (BTMO).
[0010] The organic solvent is toluene, benzene, acetonitrile or chlorobenzene.
[0011] Step (2) filtering the mixed solution obtained in step (1), performing Soxhlet extraction on the filter cake using acetone, and vacuum drying the filter cake to obtain a silicon-based protein melanin carrier.
[0012] In step (2), the heating temperature is 80-100° C., the amount of acetone is 100-200 mL, and the Soxhlet extraction time is 10-24 h.
[0013] Step (3) Place 1 g of the silica-based protein melanin carrier obtained in step (2) into 25 mL of secondary water, adjust the pH to 9 with 0.1 M NaOH, and stir at room temperature for about 10 minutes; add a certain amount of soluble metal salt to a beaker, and stir the resulting suspension at room temperature for 24 hours.
[0014] The soluble metal salt used was PdCl 2 ,Pd(OAc) 2 ,H 2 PdCl 4 ,Cu(OAc) 2 ,CuCl 2 ,Cu(NO 3 ) 2 ,HAuCl 4 .
[0015] Step (4) The suspension obtained in step (3) is centrifuged, and the obtained solid is washed with deionized water for 3-4 times until the pH of the supernatant is close to 7, and then rinsed again with acetone for 3-4 times. The obtained solid is vacuum dried for 24 hours to obtain a silicon-based protein melanin-loaded metal nanoparticle catalyst.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] The present invention uses monosaccharide as raw material for the first time, utilizes Maillard reaction to prepare silicon-based protein melanin, and applies it to the carrier of metal nanoparticle catalyst. The prepared silicon-based protein melanin-loaded metal nanoparticle catalyst exhibits excellent catalytic activity and stability in CH arylation reaction, SUZUKI classic coupling, HECK classic coupling and CN coupling reaction. Compared with other metal nanoparticle catalysts currently reported, the silicon-based protein melanin-loaded metal nanoparticle catalyst prepared by the present invention has the advantages of excellent stability, high-valent metal loading and universality for various inert CH bond activation reactions, and is suitable for application in industrial production.
