Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of crystal chemistry, specifically relating to crystal materials with photothermal conversion properties, their preparation methods and uses, and in particular two metal-organic framework crystal materials with photothermal conversion properties, their preparation methods and uses. Background Technology

[0002] Solar interfacial evaporation is an emerging technology that utilizes the surface-localized thermal effect of photothermal conversion materials to drive water evaporation and produce pure water, potentially alleviating the freshwater shortage crisis. This technology features simple processes, low energy consumption, low cost, and environmental friendliness, showing broad application prospects in seawater desalination, wastewater purification, and other fields. Photothermal materials are a crucial component of solar evaporation systems and an important way to improve evaporation efficiency and achieve multi-scenario applications. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of crystalline materials with abundant porous structures. Their ordered porous structure effectively increases the interaction with incident sunlight, facilitating light collection and achieving excellent photothermal conversion performance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention addresses the problems existing in the prior art by providing two crystalline materials with photothermal conversion properties, their preparation methods, and applications.

[0004] Tetrathiofulvalene (TTF) and its derivatives are stable and reversible two-electron materials that play a crucial role in constructing charge transfer (CT) functional materials, serving as excellent electron donors. Furthermore, naphthalenediimide (NDI) has a low least unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy and a large planar π-system, making it an excellent electron acceptor. Simultaneously, its derivatives often exhibit efficient light absorption over a wide spectral range, enabling the full utilization of light energy at different wavelengths for photothermal conversion and improving photothermal conversion efficiency. Therefore, we selected the TTF derivative 4,4',4",4""-((2,2'-bis(1,3-dithiacyclopenten-2-ylidene))-4,4',5,5'-tetrayl)tetrabenzoic acid (H4TTFTB) and the NDI derivative 2,7-bis(pyridin-4-yl)pyrene-1,3,6,8(2H,7H)-tetraone (DPNI) into a single system. This allows for better induction of extensive absorption in the near-infrared (NIR) region when the charge is transferred from the electron donor (TTF) to the acceptor (NDI) unit, thus enabling the development of MOFs with near-infrared photothermal conversion properties.

[0005] The first technical solution adopted by this invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a cadmium crystal material with photothermal conversion properties is named TTFDPNI-Cd-MOF.

( Figure 2 ); structural units are linked by ligand carboxyl and pyridyl groups to form a three-dimensional network structure. Figure 3 The crystal structure exhibits face-to-face π-π packing interactions, with a spacing between the packing planes of π / 2.

Structural units are linked in different directions through ligands to form a three-dimensional network structure. Figure 5 The crystal structure exhibits face-to-face π-π packing interactions, with a spacing between the packing planes of π / 2.

[0056] Characterization of the TTFDPNI-Co-MOF prepared in Example 1 by single-crystal X-ray analysis showed that the crystal belongs to the monoclinic crystal system, space group P21 / n, and its molecular structural formula is [Co2(TTFTB)(DPNI). 0.5 [(H2O)(DMF)], with the chemical formula Co2C 49 H 31 N3O 12 S4, chemical formula weight 1099.91, unit cell parameters α = γ = 90°, β = 112.224°; the asymmetric unit cell of this crystal includes a deprotonated TTFTB. 4- Ligand, half of a DPNI molecule, two Co 2+ An ion, consisting of a coordinated water molecule and a coordinated DMF molecule ( Figure 4 ); Center Co(1) 2+ The ion adopts a six-coordinate octahedral configuration, with four oxygen atoms derived from TTFTB. 4- The carboxyl group of the ligand One oxygen atom comes from the carbonyl group of DMF, and another oxygen atom comes from a coordinated water molecule; while Co(2) 2+ The ion also adopts a six-coordinate octahedral configuration, with five oxygen atoms derived from TTFTB. 4- The carboxyl group of the ligand One nitrogen atom comes from the pyridine nitrogen atom of the DPNI ligand.

[0057] Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) Figure 6 The results show that both TTFDPNI-Cd-MOF and TTFDPNI-Co-MOF crystal materials prepared in Example 1 exhibit excellent thermal stability, with a 15% mass loss at 100–200 °C, attributed to the loss of guest molecules.

Within the 200–400 °C thermal stability window, its structure remains intact and stable during repeated thermal cycling, while also maintaining good charge transfer characteristics.

[0058] Cyclic voltammetry was used to test the redox properties of two crystalline materials prepared in Example 1: TTFDPNI-Cd-MOF and TTFDPNI-Co-MOF. Figure 7 As shown: Both crystalline materials retain the characteristic two-step redox behavior (TTF / TTF) of the tetrathiofulvalene (TTF) ligand. + and TTF + / TTF 2+The differences in their formal potentials indicate that the redox properties of the materials are affected by their different compositions and structures.

Both materials exhibit an absorbance of 1.2, indicating strong absorption in the visible light spectrum within this range. In the ultraviolet (UV) range of 200–400 nm, the absorbance increases with wavelength. Above 700 nm in the near-infrared and infrared regions, the absorbance gradually decreases and stabilizes, reaching a stable value of approximately 0.8 at 1000 nm. TTFDPNI-Cd-MOF exhibits higher and more stable absorbance in the near-infrared region above 700 nm, indicating that it can absorb more photons in this spectral region, effectively converting them into heat energy and providing a continuous energy input for water evaporation. In contrast, TTFDPNI-Co-MOF has slightly lower absorbance and exhibits an absorption valley in the near-infrared region, indicating weaker light-harvesting efficiency.

Figure 10 ).

[0061] The cycling stability of the TTFDPNI-Cd-MOF and TTFDPNI-Co-MOF crystal materials prepared in Example 1 and Example 2, respectively, was tested under cyclic on / off irradiation. No decomposition of the crystal materials was observed after nine consecutive cycles, indicating that both TTFDPNI-Cd-MOF and TTFDPNI-Co-MOF crystal materials have excellent cycling stability.
