Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of photocatalysis technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing and applying an imine-linked covalent organic framework material. Background Technology

[0002] Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an important oxidant that produces only harmless water during oxidation, thus having wide applications in environmental remediation and organic synthesis. Traditional methods for H2O2 preparation mainly include electrolysis and the anthraquinone method. Electrolysis is unsuitable for large-scale production due to its high energy consumption and cost; while the anthraquinone method consumes large amounts of organic solvents and has a complex and cumbersome production process, limiting the widespread application of H2O2. Due to its low cost and environmental friendliness, photocatalysis has attracted considerable interest from researchers in recent years for the production of H2O2.

[0003] Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a revolutionary type of crystalline organic material, unique in their ability to efficiently utilize light energy to drive chemical reactions. These materials are composed of non-metallic elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, cleverly bound to organic building blocks through strong covalent bonds, and possess the significant advantage of a modular structure. This structural characteristic allows for precise control of their photoelectric properties, enabling their application in various metal-free photocatalytic processes.

[0004] In recent years, researchers have developed various methods for preparing COFs, including solvothermal, sonochemical, microwave, and mechanochemical synthesis. Solvothermal synthesis is the most commonly used method, but it typically involves harsh experimental conditions (e.g., toxic organic solvents, high reaction temperatures, long reaction times, and appropriate pressures) and complex steps (e.g., freeze-pump-thaw cycles, flame-sealed tubes, and heating for several days). In particular, the toxic organic solvents used in the synthesis process result in significant economic and environmental costs. Furthermore, the complex steps greatly limit the large-scale synthesis of COFs. Therefore, there is great interest in exploring simple, scalable, and environmentally friendly methods for synthesizing COFs. The principle of imine bond formation through the Schiff base condensation reaction between amines and aldehydes has been widely used to construct porous organic materials, such as imine-linked COFs. Moreover, imine-linked COFs can be synthesized in aqueous or organic solvents (even via solid-state synthesis), meaning that the Schiff base reaction overcomes the drawbacks of using toxic organic solvents in solvothermal synthesis, making it suitable for environmentally friendly COF synthesis. However, most current synthesis methods still suffer from problems such as complex steps and time-consuming synthesis. Therefore, it is necessary to find a rapid and environmentally friendly method for synthesizing imine-linked COFs by dissolution heat, which is of great significance for the efficient and convenient synthesis of imine-linked COFs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems of high energy consumption, complex processes, high costs, and unsuitability for large-scale production in existing traditional methods for preparing H2O2, as well as the complex steps, time-consuming synthesis, and limited synthesis methods in existing imine-linked COF synthesis methods. Instead, this invention provides a method for preparing and applying imine-linked covalent organic framework materials.

[0006] This invention provides a simple, short-time solvothermal method for synthesizing an imine-linked covalent organic framework material with high crystallinity, high photocatalytic activity, and high yield, and applies it to the synthesis of H2O2.

[0007] A method for preparing an imine-linked covalent organic framework material, specifically comprising the following steps:

[0008] 1. Mix 1,3,5-tris(formylphenyl)benzene with an aqueous solution of acetic acid, disperse the mixture ultrasonically for a period of time, and then stir it magnetically to obtain an activated aldehyde monomer solution;

[0009] 2. Add 4,4',4''-(1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyl)triphenylamine to 1,4-dioxane, disperse by ultrasonication, then add an activated aldehyde monomer solution, mix well to obtain a precursor solution;

[0010] 3. The precursor solution is transferred to a reaction vessel and then subjected to a hydrothermal reaction at 110℃~130℃ to obtain the reaction product;

[0011] 4. Centrifuge the reaction product, collect the solid material, wash the obtained solid material, and vacuum dry it to obtain an imine-linked covalent organic framework material.

[0012] Application of the imine-linked covalent organic framework material in the synthesis of hydrogen peroxide.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, this invention proposes a method for preparing imine-linked covalent organic framework materials and demonstrates their application value in the field of H2O2 production. This invention, for the first time, utilizes a strategy of pre-activation with an aldehyde monomer acid to directly add all reactants to a reaction vessel for rapid synthesis of COF-2 via a solvothermal method. Compared with conventional methods, this method is simpler, saves time, and yields materials with advantages such as a wide visible light absorption range, narrow band gap, high crystallinity, high photocatalytic activity, and high yield. Furthermore, the COF-2 photocatalytic material obtained by this method exhibits good H2O2 production capability under full light, demonstrating high practical value. Attached Figure Description
