Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of photocatalytic production of hydrogen peroxide, and relates to a method for producing hydrogen peroxide, specifically to a tetrazine-based covalent organic framework material, a preparation method thereof, and an application in photocatalytic production of hydrogen peroxide. Background Art
[0002] Hydrogen peroxide is a high-value and multifunctional chemical, which is widely used in fields such as wastewater treatment, chemical synthesis, medical disinfection, and clean energy, and has attracted much attention due to its environmentally friendly characteristics. Currently, hydrogen peroxide is mainly produced industrially by the anthraquinone oxidation method, but this process has problems such as high energy consumption, complex process, and accompanied by the emission of harmful wastes. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a greener and lower-energy production method. The photocatalytic synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from water and oxygen using semiconductor photocatalysts shows the potential to replace the traditional anthraquinone process due to its low energy consumption, pollution-free, and high safety characteristics. Although inorganic semiconductor photocatalysts such as TiO 2 , ZnO, and BiVO 4 exhibit certain ability for photocatalytic preparation of hydrogen peroxide, they generally have the disadvantages of poor visible light absorption performance and low stability. In recent years, the rise of organic semiconductor photocatalysts has brought new opportunities to this field, including materials such as polymeric carbon nitride, covalent triazine frameworks, and covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Compared with inorganic materials, organic semiconductor materials have advantages such as multifunctionality, rich active sites, and environmental friendliness, thus attracting extensive attention. Among them, covalent organic framework materials are considered to be promising photocatalysts in the field of chemical transformation due to their highly tunable structure, rich active sites, and porous characteristics. Tetrazine has attracted much attention due to its strong electron-withdrawing ability, excellent chemical and thermal stability, promotion of π-π stacking, and formation of porous structures. However, there are certain limitations in the post-modification process of tetrazine, such as complex process, low efficiency, possible destruction of the original structure of COFs, and simultaneous reduction of the chemical activity of COFs, thus limiting its application in COF modification. How to develop tetrazine-modified COF materials with high activity and good stability has become the focus of current research. Through exploring various modification methods, tetrazine-modified COFs have shown broad application prospects in the catalytic field. Summary of the Invention

[0027] Example 2 Production of hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by the TP-EDDA-DMTZ photocatalyst
[0028] The method is as follows: The reaction is carried out in a quartz reactor, and a 300W xenon lamp is used as a light source to simulate sunlight. The catalyst TP-EDDA-DMTZ (5mg) is ultrasonically dispersed in 15mL of ultrapure water, and high-purity oxygen is introduced into the reaction system for 30 minutes, and then the reaction is carried out under visible light (λ≥420nm) irradiation for 2h. During the reaction, the supernatant is taken out from the quartz reactor every 30 minutes, and the supernatant in the reaction pool is filtered to obtain a hydrogen peroxide solution and a photocatalytic material. The filter membrane material used for filtration is a hydrophilic polyethersulfone filter membrane; the pore size of the hydrophilic polyethersulfone filter membrane is 0.22μm - 0.45μm. Ammonium molybdate and potassium iodide are added for color development, and the amount of hydrogen peroxide generated is detected every 30 minutes using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer. In the reference experiment, TP-EDDA is used as the catalyst respectively.
[0029] The experimental results are as Figure 3 When TP-EDDA is used as the catalyst, the amount of hydrogen peroxide produced in 2h is 0.56mmol·g -1 ; while when the TP-EDDA-DMTZ photocatalyst is used as the catalyst, the catalytic activity is significantly improved, and the amount of hydrogen peroxide produced increases with the increase of the reaction time. The total amount of hydrogen peroxide produced in 2h reaches 2.552mmol·g -1 . It can be seen that when DMTZ combines with TP-EDDA to form a covalent organic framework photocatalyst, the separation efficiency of its electron-hole pairs is improved and the photocatalytic activity is enhanced, making the hydrogen peroxide production activity of TP-EDDA-DMTZ about 4.5 times higher than that of TP-EDDA. The TP-EDDA-DMTZ photocatalyst has high catalytic activity and stable structure. It is a photocatalyst that can efficiently produce hydrogen peroxide under visible light conditions without a hole sacrificial agent, with the significant advantages of low energy consumption, low cost, and no secondary pollution, and has good application prospects in the field of photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide production.
