Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the fields of photoelectric materials, organic synthesis catalysts and high-energy material precursor preparation, and relates to a chain cyanocarbodiimide, a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] 2D layered C x N y The material, formed by carbon and nitrogen atoms linked in varying chemical ratios, possesses a unique graphene-like layered structure. This layered structure gives the material a high specific surface area and abundant surface active sites, which facilitate adsorption and catalytic reactions. The adjustable C / N ratio and doping optimize electronic properties, resulting in excellent visible light responsiveness. The tunable interlayer spacing and excellent conductivity make it suitable for use as an electrode material in lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors, enhancing charge storage efficiency. Therefore, this material exhibits significant potential in photocatalytic energy conversion (such as water splitting to produce hydrogen and CO2 reduction), environmental pollutant degradation, high-efficiency energy storage devices, and biomedical applications.
[0003] Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2001, 123, (32): 7788-7796. Using a solid-phase reaction method, melamine and cyanuric chloride were used as precursors. The reaction was conducted at 1.0-1.5 GPa and 500-550°C to prepare a two-dimensional layered C6N9H3 catalyst with regular C3N3 voids inside. Chloride ions fill the larger voids in the structure, and the number of chloride ions in the framework is equal to the number of protonated nitrogen atoms, achieving charge balance in the system. AngewandteChemie International Edition, 2012, 51, (47): 11814-11818. Using a solvent-thermal synthesis method, melamine and cyanuric chloride were used as precursors and acetonitrile was used as the solvent. A rod-shaped nano-g-C3N4 material with catalytic performance in the decomposition of p-chlorophenol was successfully prepared. Applied Catalysis B: Environmental, 2020, 274, 119116. Using thermal polymerization at 550 ° C, malondiamide (MLDD) and urea molecules as precursors, carbon bridge modified g-C3N4 nanosheets were successfully prepared, which improved the conjugated system of graphite phase carbon nitride. The sample showed excellent photocatalytic performance in pollutant degradation and catalytic hydrogen production. In summary, the current synthesis of two-dimensional layered C x N y Most of the precursors used in the materials require a relatively high reaction temperature for synthesis. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new precursors with high reactivity to reduce the difficulty of synthesis and provide a new type of two-dimensional C x N yThe design of basic functional materials provides new precursors and growth mechanisms.

[0041] The chain cyanocarbodiimide of the present invention has a chemical formula of N≡CN=C=NH and has a unique bifunctional structure of cyano and carbodiimide. The preparation steps are as follows: pressing graphite phase carbon nitride powder into a disc sample and placing it in a source chamber; turning on the vacuum system, evacuating the chamber to vacuum, turning on the high-energy particle bombardment device, bombarding the graphite phase carbon nitride pellet with high-energy particles to induce CN bond breakage and recombination, and introducing high-purity nitrogen as carrier gas and cooling gas; using time-of-flight mass spectrometry to detect the product, confirming the generation of C2N3H atomic clusters; finally, through DFT calculation, it is determined that it has a unique bifunctional structure of cyano and carbodiimide, has high chemical activity and electron delocalization characteristics, and can be used to construct optoelectronic materials, organic synthesis catalysts and high-energy material precursors.

[0042] The idea of the present invention is to use a laser sputtering device to sputter a graphite carbon nitride substrate under vacuum conditions with the help of pulsed laser, and emit various particles through evaporation and cutting of chemical bonds to generate plasma. Then, high-pressure gas is injected in the form of pulses under adiabatic conditions, and the plasma formed by molecular collision, expansion, and rapid cooling is formed to form a C x N y Novel active cluster precursors for layered materials.
[0043] Time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) analysis confirmed the formation of C2N3H atomic clusters. Finally, density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirmed that it has a unique bifunctional structure with cyano and carbodiimide groups, as shown in the figure below:
[0044]
[0045] The main steps of the preparation method of the chain cyanocarbodiimide of the present invention are as follows:
[0046] Graphite-phase carbon nitride powder was pressed into a disc-shaped sample and placed in the source chamber; the vacuum system was turned on, the cavity was evacuated to a vacuum, and the high-energy particle bombardment device was turned on. The graphite-phase carbon nitride disc was bombarded with high-energy particles to induce the breakage and recombination of CN bonds, and high-purity nitrogen was introduced as carrier gas and cooling gas; the product was detected by time-of-flight mass spectrometry, confirming the generation of C2N3H atomic clusters; finally, DFT calculations determined that it had a unique bifunctional structure with cyano and carbodiimide groups, with high chemical activity and electron delocalization characteristics.
[0047] The specific steps are as follows:
[0048] 1.3 g of analytically pure graphite phase carbon nitride powder was pressed into a disc sample with a diameter of 10 mm and a thickness of about 9 mm. The sample was then placed in the source chamber. The vacuum system was turned on and the vacuum degree of the chamber was pumped to 10 -6 Pa, turned on the high-energy particle bombardment device, and bombarded the graphite phase carbon nitride pressed sheet with a high-energy laser with a wavelength of 532nm, an energy of 13mJ / pulse, and a repetition frequency of 10Hz, and introduced high-purity nitrogen as carrier gas and cooling gas, with a nitrogen flow rate of 100ml / min; time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS) detection and analysis confirmed the generation of C2N3H atomic clusters; finally, density functional theory (DFT) calculations determined that it was a unique bifunctional structure with cyano and carbodiimide groups.
[0049] Example 1:
[0050] 1.3 g of analytically pure graphite phase carbon nitride powder was pressed into a disc sample with a diameter of 10 mm and a thickness of about 9 mm. The sample was then placed in the source chamber. The vacuum system was turned on and the vacuum degree of the chamber was pumped to 10 -6 Pa, turned on the high-energy particle bombardment device, and bombarded the graphite phase carbon nitride pressed sheet with a high-energy laser with a wavelength of 532nm, an energy of 13mJ / pulse, and a repetition frequency of 10Hz, and introduced high-purity nitrogen as carrier gas and cooling gas, with a nitrogen flow rate of 100ml / min; time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS) detection and analysis confirmed the generation of C2N3H atomic clusters; finally, density functional theory (DFT) calculations determined that it was a unique bifunctional structure with cyano and carbodiimide groups.
[0051] Table 1
[0052]
[0053] The mass spectra of the generated anion clusters are shown in Figure 2. Figure 1 As shown, a series with a mass difference of 67 [(C2N3) n H n-1 ] - (n=1-4) clusters, indicating that this series of clusters is formed by C2N3 - Gradually combined with C2N3H growth formation.
[0054] Molculs and Gaussian programs were used to search the structures of the clusters found, and the lowest energy [(C2N3) n H n-1 ] - (n=1-4) cluster structure such as Figure 2 Combined with the data in Table 1, it can be seen that C2N3H(1A) is a V-shaped chain structure with a cyano group on the left and a carbodiimide group on the right, where the carbodiimide group is a unique structure with three centers and four electrons.
[0055] In order to further explore the distribution of reaction sites during the structural evolution process, electrostatic potential (ESP) and average local ionization energy (ALIE) were used to predict the reaction active sites of 1A and 2A. Figure 3Detailed information on ESP and ALIE is presented. The electrostatic potential of the ESP surface of 1A gradually changes from negative to positive from left to right, with the alternating arrangement of CN atoms forming local areas of alternating positive and negative potential. The most negative electrostatic potential is observed in the nitrogen atom region at the far left of the structure, while the most positive potential is observed at the hydrogen atom on the right. The ESP surface of 2A exhibits an overall negative potential characteristic, with a global minimum around the middle nitrogen atom and a wide negative potential region, indicating significant electron delocalization in this region. This complementary electrostatic distribution promotes electrostatic attraction between the N atom connected to the H atom in 1A and the C atom connected to the N atom in 2A, forming a stable bond through a synergistic electrophilic-nucleophilic effect.
[0056] Figure 4 The transition state and activation energy of the reaction from 1A and 2A to 3A are shown. In the transition state, the connection site between the two precursors is on the three-center four-electron carbodiimide group.
[0057] Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the distribution and combination of two 1A and 2A to form cyclic 4A and the reaction activation energy. The connection site of the three fragments in 4A is also on the three-center four-electron carbodiimide group;
[0058] Figure 6 Two possible pathways for the formation of 5A structures are shown: the first pathway uses 3A as the structural framework and self-assembles two 1A molecules ( Figure 6 (a)); the second generation pathway uses 4A as the core skeleton and combines it with a 1A molecule to construct ( Figure 6 (b), 3A and 4A are marked with dark red dashed boxes, and 1A is marked with a light red dashed box. In summary, the V-shaped chain precursor cyanocarbodiimide (C2N3H), with a cyano group on the left and a carbodiimide group on the right, has high chemical reactivity.
