Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of molecular sieve technology, and in particular to a method, equipment and medium for simulating the acidic site placement of molecular sieves. Background Technology

[0002] The widespread application of molecular sieves in heterogeneous catalysis stems from their unique pore structure, tunable acidic sites, and excellent shape-selective catalytic performance, making them indispensable catalytic materials in petrochemical, energy conversion, and environmental protection fields. Therefore, modeling the molecular sieve structure and simulating it using theoretical chemistry methods will help to understand its catalytic performance, thus providing a strong basis for catalyst screening and rational design.

[0003] Existing simulation methods can accurately indicate the tendency of acidic sites to fall into steady-state, bulk structures, but they are difficult to explain the falling-in characteristics of nanostructures during growth. The latter has been shown to have excellent catalytic activity in many cases, but its interpretability is not high.

[0004] Furthermore, for molecular sieve nanostructures of a certain size, the potential acidic sites are numerous and cannot be directly simulated using enumeration methods. Meanwhile, the distribution of acidic sites on the surface and in the bulk region is of greater interest than whether a specific location can be occupied. Monte Carlo (MC) simulations estimate the average properties of the system through random sampling: during the simulation, a series of states are continuously generated, and the evolution of the configuration is determined by pre-defined rules. Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations are Monte Carlo simulations performed on a grand canonical ensemble, allowing the system to exchange particles with its surroundings, and determining the evolution of the configuration through changes in chemical potential before and after the reaction.

[0005] In the fields of materials design and catalytic reaction simulation, traditional methods rely on quantum mechanical calculations, such as density functional theory (DFT) or empirical potential functions, to construct potential energy surfaces to drive molecular dynamics (MD) or Monte Carlo simulations. However, in the study of the thermodynamic properties of open systems, existing techniques still face significant bottlenecks in balancing computational efficiency and accuracy, as well as adaptability to complex systems: while first-principles calculations can provide high-precision potential energy surfaces, they consume enormous computational resources and are difficult to handle large systems or long-term simulations; while molecular force fields or empirical potential functions (such as Lennard-Jones potential and ReaxFF potential) are computationally efficient, their parameterization process depends on specific systems and cannot accurately describe complex interactions such as chemical bond formation / breaking and charge transfer, especially when dealing with multi-component catalytic surface reactions, where the simplification assumptions introduced can lead to serious deviations in adsorption energy and transition state sites.

[0059] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0060] Example

[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for simulating the placement of acidic sites in molecular sieves. The method includes the following steps:

[0066] S5. Update the current structure and go to S2 to generate a new initial guess structure based on the current structure. Repeat S2 to S5 and record the number of times the relaxed configuration is rejected consecutively. If the current number of consecutive rejections reaches the set threshold, end the simulation and go to S6.

Based on the machine learning potential, obtain the relaxed structure and change the position of the hydrogen to connect with different bridging oxygens in the framework aluminum. Based on the machine learning potential, obtain the relaxed structure respectively. Determine the acid site position based on the lowest energy. Repeat S6 until all acid sites are in place.

[0068] S7. Based on the final molecular sieve-template structure, calculate and output the property parameters.

[0069] Next, using tetrapropylammonium cation as the synthetic template agent, the B acid site placement in ZSM-5 clusters with a particle size of 3 nm was simulated to provide a detailed explanation of the method of the present invention.

These atoms were then cut out of the periodic structure, and the information of their coordinating neighboring atoms was recorded.

This type of method has shown great potential in molecular dynamics. Based on the trained machine learning potential, this invention adds several high-precision density functional theory (DFT) calculation results from molecular sieve-template agents, thereby ensuring relatively accurate extrapolation performance.

[0084]

[0085] In the formula: It is a fully connected function, which is a mapping from a high-dimensional eigenvector space to the real number field.

[0086] This invention uses machine learning potential to perform giant canonical Monte Carlo simulations, which can simulate the placement of Brønsted acid sites in molecular sieves of different sizes and multi-level pore structures in open systems while ensuring the accuracy of thermodynamic quantity prediction.

[0087] S4. Based on the Gibbs free energy calculated in S3, the probability of accepting the relaxation configuration is:

[0088]

[0089] S5. Update the current structure and return to S2 to generate a new initial guess structure based on the current structure. Continue the loop of S2->S3->S4->S5->S2 and record the number of times the relaxed configuration is rejected consecutively in S4.

[0090] Set the threshold N_max for the number of consecutive rejections to 1000. If the number of rejections exceeds 1000, exit the loop.

[0091] S6. Perform the following cycle for all tetrapropylammonium cations in the current structure:

[0092] 1) Remove one tetrapropylammonium cation;

[0093] 2) Select the Al atom closest to the center N;

[0094] 3) Hydrogen is added to all the neighboring oxygen atoms bonded to the aluminum atom to generate multiple candidate sites for Brønsted acid;

[0095] 4) Use LASP to perform configurational relaxation based on machine learning potential to obtain the relaxed configuration and energy of all candidate sites;

[0096] 5) Select the configuration with the lowest relaxation energy as the current structure and update it, then return to 1) and continue the loop until all template agents are removed.

[0097] S7. Set the outermost layer to angstrom as the surface-bulk interface, count the number of silicon atoms and aluminum atoms on the surface and in the bulk, and obtain physical property parameters such as chemical composition, total silicon-aluminum ratio, bulk silicon-aluminum ratio, surface silicon-aluminum ratio, surface aluminum, and bulk aluminum.
