Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of functional materials, in particular to a heteroporous fluorine-doped cationic covalent organic framework material and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Perfluoro or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of artificially synthesized compounds in which part or all of the hydrogen atoms on the carbon chain are replaced by fluorine atoms, which are widely used in various consumer and industrial products. However, PFAS are carcinogenic, biotoxic, persistent and bioaccumulative in the environment. This makes them widely present in environmental media, food, etc., threatening human health.

[0003] Covalent organic framework (COF) materials, as a new type of porous organic nanomaterial, have the advantages of ordered porosity, good stability and customizable functionality, and have attracted widespread attention in the field of PFAS pollutant adsorption treatment. However, the lack of highly integrated functional groups and suitable pore size adjustment limits their adsorption performance for PFAS. For example, some conventional COF materials have low adsorption capacity for specific PFAS when treating PFAS-containing wastewater, which cannot meet the demand for high adsorption efficiency in practical applications.

[0004] Although some studies have reported that the integration of functional groups into COF nanomaterials improves the adsorption performance for PFAS, these studies are mostly implemented in single-pore COFs and only target a single PFAS. If different structures and lengths of PFAS coexist in the environment, the existing materials cannot meet the demand for adsorbing multiple PFAS, greatly hindering their application expansion in complex environments. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a heteroporous fluorine-doped cationic covalent organic framework material and a preparation method and application thereof, which solves the problems of poor adsorption performance and single adsorption type of existing COF materials for PFAS, and realizes simultaneous and efficient adsorption of long-chain and short-chain PFAS.

[0067] Performance test

[0068] The COF materials prepared by Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1 are characterized by an X-ray diffractometer (XRD, Rigaku) with CuKα radiation.

[0069] Figure 1The XRD patterns of the COF materials prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1 of the present application are shown in the figure, and COF-C has a clear XRD diffraction peak at about 1.8°, indicating that COF-C has a hexagonal uniform distribution and crystallinity. COF-F, COF-F1N1, COF-F1N2, and COF-F1N5 have clear XRD diffraction peaks at 1.8°-1.9°, and weaker diffraction peaks at 3.7°-3.8°, 5.6°-5.7, and 7.5-7.6°. COF-N has a weak diffraction peak at about 3.9°, which may be due to the full proportion of cationic monomers weakening the COF crystallinity. However, overall, the COF materials prepared by the present application using fluorine-containing monomers and cationic monomers also have good crystal structures.

[0070] The surface morphology of COF-F1N5 prepared in Example 4 was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM, JEOL) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

[0071] Figure 2 The SEM image of COF-F1N5 prepared in Example 4 of the present application is shown in the figure, and COF-F1N5 exhibits smooth, rhombic plate-like and flower-like amorphous nanostructures. Figure 3 The TEM image of COF-F1N5 prepared in Example 4 of the present application is shown in the figure, and under transmission electron microscopy, it can be clearly observed that most of the regions of COF-F1N5 have rich ordered lattice structures, and the particles show a flaky stacking morphology, indicating the formation of a two-dimensional structure with high crystallinity.

[0072] The COF materials prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Example 1 of the present application were evaluated for whether they are heteroporous COF materials by nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms. The specific surface area was calculated using the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method (BET). By using non-local density functional theory (DFT), the results such as pore size distribution and specific surface area were obtained from the adsorption data. The nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurement results further verified the hierarchical porosity of the COF materials.

[0073] Figure 4are the N2 adsorption isotherms and surface area of the COF materials prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Example 1 of the present application, as shown in the figure, the N2 adsorption isotherms of the COF materials prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Example 1 show gradual adsorption, sharp rise in adsorption before P / P0=0.01, slower adsorption between P / P0=0.05-0.15, and the N2 adsorption isotherms of all of them show type IV adsorption isotherm, which clearly proves that the synthesized COF materials have both micropores and mesopores, belong to heteroporous materials, which means that the two functional monomers are successfully integrated into the heteroporous COF framework, and a complex pore structure is constructed, which provides abundant space and diverse adsorption sites for PFAS adsorption. And in different pressure intervals, the adsorption capacity of COF-F1N1, COF-F1N2 and COF-F1N5 is better than that of COF-C and COF-F, which shows that the micropores and mesopores of COF-F1N1, COF-F1N2 and COF-F1N5 work well in the adsorption process, can quickly adsorb and maintain a high adsorption capacity. While the pore synergy of COF-C and COF-F is insufficient, which affects the overall adsorption efficiency.

[0074] The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method (BET) method was used to calculate the specific surface area of COF-C, COF-F, COF-F1N1, COF-F1N2 and COF-F1N5, which were 217.26 m 2 / g, 218 m 2 / g, 446.73 m 2 / g, 500.88 m 2 / g, 410.94 m 2 / g, respectively. The larger the specific surface area, the more sites on the surface of the material that can be used for adsorption. The significantly higher specific surface area of COF-F1N1, COF-F1N2 and COF-F1N5 means that they can provide more interfaces for contact with PFAS molecules, thereby increasing the ability to adsorb PFAS. In contrast, the specific surface area of COF-C and COF-F is smaller, and the available adsorption sites are limited, so their adsorption performance is relatively weak.

[0075] Figure 5is a schematic diagram of the pore size distribution of the COF materials prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Example 1 of the present application, as shown in the figure, the COF materials prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Example 1 of the present application all have both mesopores (>2 nm) and micropores (<2 nm) in the pore size distribution, but COF-F1N1, COF-F1N2 and COF-F1N5 have more advantages in the rationality and adaptability of the pore size distribution. PFAS molecules of different lengths and structures have different sizes, micropores can provide physical confinement for smaller PFAS molecules, and mesopores can help larger size PFAS molecules to diffuse and enter the interior of the material for adsorption. COF-F1N1, COF-F1N2 and COF-F1N5 have similar contents of both types of pores, which can better match the sizes of different PFAS molecules, provide more suitable adsorption space for various PFAS, and improve the adsorption efficiency. In contrast, COF-C and COF-F have significantly less micropore content than mesopore content, meaning that there are limited adsorption sites for small molecule PFAS, making it difficult to efficiently adsorb small size PFAS molecules, and more critically, lacking cationic monomers and being unable to adsorb PFAS through electrostatic adsorption, which limits the overall adsorption efficiency. This concept is also verified in the results of the PFAS adsorption experiments of different chain lengths, and the adsorption effect of these two materials is poor.

[0076] Isothermal adsorption test was used to preliminarily screen the COF materials. The COF materials prepared in Examples 1-5 (250 mg / L) were added to 30 mL of 100 μmol / L standard solution of PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) and GenX (hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid ammonium salt), mixed thoroughly, then the mixture was shaken on a shaking table at room temperature for 24 hours, then centrifuged to obtain the supernatant, filtered through a 0.2 μm membrane filter, and then the filtrate was analyzed by UHPLC-MS / MS (ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry) to determine the remaining PFOA and GenX contents.

[0077] Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the adsorption performance of the COF materials prepared in Examples 1-5 of the present application on PFOA and GenX, as shown in the figure, COF-F1N1, COF-F1N2 and COF-F1N5 all show better performance than COF-F and COF-N in adsorbing PFOA and GenX.

[0078] Further, the adsorption performance of COF-F1N1, COF-F1N2 and COF-F1N5 was evaluated by isothermal adsorption test and adsorption kinetics test, and COF-C was used as a control. The adsorption capacity and adsorption rate were calculated using the following formula:

[0079]

[0080] In the formula, C0(mg / L) is the initial concentration of PFAS;

[0081] C e (mg / L) is the equilibrium concentration of PFAS;

[0082] C t (mg / L) is the concentration of PFAS at time t;

[0083] m (mg) and V (mL) represent the mass of adsorbent and the volume of solution, respectively.

[0084] Meanwhile, the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models were used to fit the adsorption of two PFAS by the heteroporous COF materials to describe the adsorption processes of COF-F1N1, COF-F1N2 and COF-F1N5.

[0085] The Langmuir adsorption isotherm equation is as follows:

[0086]

[0087] The Freundlich adsorption isotherm equation is as follows:

[0088]

[0089] In the formula, q m (mg / g) is the maximum adsorption capacity;

[0090] K L is the Langmuir constant;

[0091] K F is the Freundlich constant;

[0092] C e (mg / L) is the concentration of PFAS at adsorption equilibrium.

[0093] Figure 7 Figure 2-4 is a nonlinear fitting graph of the isothermal adsorption of the COF materials prepared in Examples 2-4 and Comparative Example 1 to PFOA, as shown in the figure, the equilibrium adsorption capacity of COF-F1N1, COF-F1N2 and COF-F1N5 to PFOA is obviously better than that of COF-C, and increases with the increase of the proportion of cationic monomer incorporation.

[0094] Figure 8 Figure 2-4 is a nonlinear fitting graph of the isothermal adsorption of the COF materials prepared in Examples 2-4 and Comparative Example 1 to PFOA, as shown in the figure, the equilibrium adsorption capacity of COF-F1N1, COF-F1N2 and COF-F1N5 to PFOA is obviously better than that of COF-C, and increases with the increase of the proportion of cationic monomer incorporation.

[0095] Adsorption kinetics test: 30 mL of a 1 mg / L aqueous solution of PFOA or Gen X was added to the bottle. Then 3 mg of COF material (COF-F1N1, COF-F1N2, COF-F1N5 and COF-C) was added and mixed thoroughly. Subsequently, different time intervals (2 min, 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h) were given at room temperature and treated on a shaker at 250 rpm. The mixture of all samples was filtered through a 0.2 μm membrane filter, and the filtrate was analyzed using UHPLC-MS / MS to determine the remaining PFOA and GenX content. All batch tests were repeated three times. The removal rate, pseudo-first-order kinetic model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model were used to fit the process of the kinetic adsorption test to describe the adsorption process of the COF material in this study. The calculation formulas of the pseudo-first-order kinetic model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model are as follows:

[0096] ln(q e -q t )=ln q e -k1t

[0097]

[0098] Where q t (mg / g) is the adsorption loading of the adsorbent at time t;

[0099] q e (mg / g) is the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent at equilibrium;

[0100] k1(min -1 ) is the pseudo-first-order rate constant;

[0101] k2 (g / mg·min) is the pseudo-second-order rate constant.

[0102] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram showing the PFOA removal rates of COF materials produced in Examples 2-4 and Comparative Example 1. As shown, COF-F1N1, COF-F1N2, and COF-F1N5 all achieved over 90% PFOA removal rates within 15 minutes, and over 95% within 20 minutes. COF-F1N5 had the fastest PFOA adsorption rate, reaching 90% removal in just 10 minutes. In contrast, COF-C, which lacks functional integration, achieved a 50% removal rate within 30 minutes and over 90% removal after 120 minutes.

[0103] Figure 10The COF material prepared in Examples 2-4 and Comparative Example 1 of the present application is shown in the figure, and the removal rate of Gen X by COF-F1N1 and COF-F1N2 is more than 90% in 20 min. COF-F1N5 reaches more than 90% in only 2 min. COF-C needs 120 min to reach 90%. This shows that the adsorption performance of the functionalized integrated COF-F1N1, COF-F1N2 and COF-F1N5 is greatly improved, and the pollutants can be removed more quickly and efficiently.

[0104] Therefore, the present application uses cationic monomers and fluorine-containing monomers to cooperatively prepare fluorine-doped cationic covalent organic framework materials with heteroporous structures, which have good crystal structures, high crystallinity and hierarchical porosity, provide more active sites and diffusion channels for PFAS adsorption, and achieve efficient adsorption of long-chain and short-chain PFAS.
