Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electrochemical technology, and in particular to a non-metallic element-doped titanium suboxide anode, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] As China's urbanization accelerates, the amount of wastewater generated is increasing day by day. Among the various wastewater treatment methods, electrochemical oxidation is a treatment method with many advantages, such as high efficiency, no secondary pollution, and low energy consumption. It has attracted widespread attention in the field of wastewater treatment. The key to electrochemical oxidation technology is to generate a large amount of strong oxidizing active substances through various means. It has the advantage of effectively degrading stable and complex wastewater.
[0003] Among them, in the application field of degrading organic wastewater, titanium dioxide has the advantages of high conductivity, high electrochemical stability and excellent corrosion resistance.
[0004] Titanium dioxide, as an emerging electrocatalytic anode material, has a unique crystal structure and excellent performance. The lack of oxygen atoms in titanium dioxide leads to the formation of shear planes in the crystal structure, which gives titanium dioxide high conductivity and high stability. Organic pollutants are first adsorbed on the anode surface and undergo direct electron transfer through the anode surface; in this process, the molecular chains of organic pollutants are decomposed by oxidation. Among them, the direct oxidation rate mainly depends on the electrocatalytic activity of the anode material. Therefore, how to composite titanium dioxide anodes with other conductive polymers and dope them with non-metallic elements to improve their own catalytic activity is a hot research topic.
[0005] Patent application CN112064084A discloses a method for preparing a single-atom metal titanium oxide electrode. A metal salt is dissolved in deionized water to produce a metal precursor salt solution. This metal precursor salt solution is then deposited onto the surface of a titanium oxide electrode via electrochemical deposition to produce an electrocatalytic electrode material containing dispersed metal atoms. However, the titanium oxide anode itself has poor electrical insulation and is susceptible to corrosion, which shortens the service life of the resulting titanium oxide electrode.
[0006] In view of the technical defects in this aspect, a solution is now proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a non-metallic element doped titanium dioxide anode and its preparation method and application, which are used to solve the technical problems in the prior art of low catalytic activity of a single titanium dioxide anode, poor electrical insulation of the titanium dioxide electrode, easy corrosion, and short service life of the electrode.
[0008] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0009] A method for preparing a non-metallic element-doped titanium oxide anode comprises the following steps:
[0010] Reaction system A is deposited onto the surface of a modified polytetrafluoroethylene film by vacuum filtration to obtain a first deposited film layer; reaction system B is further deposited onto the surface of the first deposited film layer by vacuum filtration to form a second deposited film layer, which is a composite anode; the composite anode is post-processed to obtain a non-metallic element-doped titanium dioxide anode;
[0011] The reaction system A is obtained by mixing carbon nanotubes doped with non-metallic elements and ethanol and performing ultrasonic dispersion;
[0012] The reaction system B is obtained by mixing titanium oxide powder and ethanol and performing ultrasonic dispersion.
[0013] The titanium dioxide anode prepared by the present invention has a multi-layer composite structure, with a modified polytetrafluoroethylene film as a base layer, reaction system A is deposited on the modified polytetrafluoroethylene film to form a first deposited film layer; reaction system B is deposited on the first deposited film layer to form a second deposited film layer, thereby preparing a titanium dioxide anode;
[0014] The method for preparing the modified polytetrafluoroethylene film comprises the following steps:
[0015] A1, toluene and water are mixed to obtain a solvent; methyldichlorosilane, dimethyldichlorosilane and trimethylchlorosilane are added to the solvent to obtain a mixed solution;
[0016] A2. The polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion and the mixed liquid are mixed, stirred, and dried to obtain a reactant; the reactant is transferred to a muffle furnace for high-temperature calcination to prepare a modified polytetrafluoroethylene film.
[0017] Using a mixture of toluene and water as the solvent, methyldichlorosilane, dimethyldichlorosilane, and trimethylchlorosilane undergo a hydrolysis reaction to produce a mixed solution containing multiple silanol functional groups. This mixed solution can be used as a multifunctional coupling agent to modify polytetrafluoroethylene, thereby producing a modified polytetrafluoroethylene film.
[0018] Furthermore, in step A1, the amount ratio of toluene, water, methyldichlorosilane, dimethyldichlorosilane and trimethylchlorosilane is 80mL:100mL:40-50mL:30-40mL:10mL; in step A2, the mass ratio of polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion and mixed liquid is 2:7-10, the mixing speed is 100-200r / min, and the mixing time is 1-2h; the drying temperature is 70-80℃, and the drying time is 5-10min; the high-temperature calcination temperature is 355-380℃, and the high-temperature calcination time is 5-15min. The thickness of the modified polytetrafluoroethylene film formed is 70-90μm.
[0019] Furthermore, the method for preparing the carbon nanotubes doped with non-metallic elements comprises the following steps:
[0020] The acidified carbon nanotubes and thiourea are mixed and ground uniformly to obtain a mixed powder; the mixed powder is heated to 350-400° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere for 2-3 hours, and then cooled to room temperature to obtain a calcined mixed powder; the calcined mixed powder is successively washed with deionized water and vacuum-dried to prepare carbon nanotubes doped with non-metallic elements.
[0021] Furthermore, the preparation method of the acidified carbon nanotubes is: immersing multi-walled carbon nanotubes in a 5-10%wt dilute nitric acid solution, heating at 100-105°C for 2-3h, then filtering and collecting the solid to obtain the acidified carbon nanotubes; the solid-liquid mass ratio of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes to the dilute nitric acid is 1:5-10.
[0022] Multi-walled carbon nanotubes are pre-treated with nitric acid to enrich the number of hydroxyl and carboxyl functional groups within the nanotubes, resulting in acidified carbon nanotubes. The acidified carbon nanotubes are then mixed with thiourea and calcined at high temperatures. These active sites occupied by the hydroxyl and carboxyl functional groups become defects, which are then replaced by sulfur and nitrogen, forming carbon nanotubes doped with non-metallic elements.
[0023] Furthermore, the usage ratio of the acidified carbon nanotubes and thiourea is 2-3 g:1-2 g, and the heating rate is 5-10° C. / min.
[0024] Furthermore, the method for preparing the titanium oxide powder comprises the following steps: placing rutile titanium oxide in a hydrogen atmosphere at 1000-1100° C. and performing high-temperature reduction for 20-24 hours to prepare the titanium oxide powder.
[0025] Furthermore, when preparing the first deposited film layer, the vacuum filtration pressure is 20-30 kPa; when preparing the second deposited film layer, the vacuum filtration pressure is 30-40 kPa; the post-processing steps of the composite anode include: the composite anode is cleaned 2-3 times with ultrapure water to remove surface impurities; the ultrasonic dispersion frequency of the carbon nanotubes doped with non-metallic elements and the ethanol solvent is 20-30 KHz, and the ultrasonic duration is 10-20 minutes; the ultrasonic dispersion frequency of titanium oxide powder and ethanol is 20-30 KHz, and the ultrasonic duration is 10-20 minutes.
[0026] As another aspect of the present invention, a method for preparing a non-metallic element-doped titanium oxide anode is provided to prepare a non-metallic element-doped titanium oxide anode.
[0027] As another aspect of the present invention, a non-metallic element-doped titanium oxide anode is used for removing organic pollutants from water.
[0028] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0029] 1. The present invention utilizes a modified polytetrafluoroethylene film as a substrate, sequentially depositing a first and second deposited film layer using vacuum filtration to ultimately produce a composite anode, namely, a non-metallic element-doped titania anode. The first deposited film layer comprises carbon nanotubes doped with non-metallic elements, and the second deposited film layer comprises titania powder. The polytetrafluoroethylene film, as the substrate for the titania anode, provides insulation, chemical resistance, mechanical support, and improves the electrical insulation properties of the prepared titania anode. To further enhance the chemical adhesion between the deposited polytetrafluoroethylene film layer and the first and second deposited film layers, the present invention utilizes a mixed hydrolyzate of methyldichlorosilane, dimethyldichlorosilane, and trimethylchlorosilane to modify the polytetrafluoroethylene film. Compared to conventional coupling agents, this mixture possesses multiple functionalities and forms more Si-O bonds with polytetrafluoroethylene, thereby enhancing the deposition density and fastness between the first and second deposited film layers and the polytetrafluoroethylene film. In addition, the reaction activity of the modified polytetrafluoroethylene film with carbon nanotubes doped with non-metallic elements and titanium oxide powder is enhanced, which can further improve its own catalytic activity.
[0030] 2. As a carbon-based material, carbon nanotubes have the advantages of large specific surface area, stable structure, and more pores. If non-metallic elements are doped into carbon nanotubes, the carbon nanotubes can play a role in wrapping the non-metallic elements, preventing excessive aggregation of non-metallic element particles, thereby retaining the strong catalytic properties of the non-metallic elements and prolonging the catalytic time. Among them, multi-walled carbon nanotubes are made of concentrically stacked multiple layers of graphene sheets, with relatively large tube diameters, thick tube walls, and high mechanical modulus. However, their specific surface area is relatively small. The present invention pre-acidifies the multi-walled carbon nanotubes with nitric acid to enrich the number of functional groups and active sites; then dopes them with thiourea, and through a high-temperature calcination process, allows nitrogen and sulfur elements to replace the active site positions, thereby increasing the proportion of doped non-metallic elements, and preparing carbon nanotubes with good mechanical properties and a high proportion of doped non-metallic elements. The above-mentioned non-metallic element-doped carbon nanotubes have higher catalytic activity.
[0031] 3. The present invention utilizes a vacuum filtration process to composite the modified polytetrafluoroethylene film, the first deposited film layer, and the second deposited film layer. The thickness of the resulting titania anode film is adjusted by adjusting the concentration of the non-metallic element-doped carbon nanotubes in reaction system A, the concentration of the titania powder in reaction system B, and the vacuum filtration pressure. The layers are tightly bonded together by chemical bonds, resulting in a non-metallic element-doped titania anode with excellent mechanical properties, high electrochemical activity, and efficient organic wastewater degradation. This simplified process for preparing the composite anode is suitable for continuous production, reducing production costs. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0074] Comparative Example 3
[0075] Compared with Example 9, in this comparative example, when preparing the non-metallic element doped titanium dioxide anode, the same mass of reaction system A and reaction system B were mixed and then directly deposited on the surface of modified polytetrafluoroethylene to prepare the non-metallic element doped titanium dioxide anode.
[0076] Performance test: A dual-chamber electrochemical chlorination device was prepared, wherein the anode material of the device was a 3 cm diameter non-metallic element doped titanium dioxide anode prepared in Examples 7-9 and Comparative Examples 1-3, and the cathode material was a carbon rod with a diameter of 6 mm and a height of 4 cm.
[0077] 1. The adsorption characteristics of the non-metallic element-doped titanium dioxide anodes prepared in Examples 7-9 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were examined using a static capacitance method, using nitrogen as the adsorption medium.

[0082] Data Analysis: Table 1 shows that the non-metallic element-doped titanium dioxide anodes prepared in Examples 7-9 of the present invention utilize modified polytetrafluoroethylene as the base layer and reaction system A containing carbon nanotubes as the first deposited film layer, resulting in a high specific surface area. However, in Comparative Example 1, the multi-walled carbon nanotubes were not acidified with a dilute nitric acid solution during the preparation of the non-metallic element-doped carbon nanotubes. This acidification results in a higher specific surface area for the multi-walled carbon nanotubes, resulting in a lower specific surface area for the titanium dioxide anode prepared in Comparative Example 1.
[0083] The non-metallic element-doped titanium dioxide anodes prepared in Examples 7-9 of the present invention exhibited good electrochemical activity, as evidenced by the larger current values at both 1V and 2V for the titanium dioxide anodes prepared in Comparative Examples 7-9. However, in Comparative Example 3, when preparing the non-metallic element-doped titanium dioxide anode, equal masses of Reaction System A and Reaction System B were mixed and then directly deposited on the surface of modified polytetrafluoroethylene; compared to the case where Reaction System B was deposited solely on the anode surface, its electrochemical activity was reduced.
[0084] The non-metallic element-doped titanium dioxide anodes prepared in Examples 7-9 of the present invention all have high degradation rates for typical pollutants in industrial wastewater; however, in Comparative Example 2, when preparing the modified polytetrafluoroethylene film, the silane coupling agent KH-550 was used instead of the multifunctional mixture, which reduced the degree of modification of the polytetrafluoroethylene film, weakened the reaction activity with the carbon nanotubes doped with non-metallic elements and titanium dioxide powder, and reduced the catalytic activity, thereby reducing the degradation rate of methylene blue during the same operating time.
