Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of carbon dioxide capture and catalytic conversion, in particular to a zinc-based metal-organic framework material and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Ethylene (C2H2) and ethylene (C2H4) are two important industrial raw materials, which are used to manufacture various organic chemicals, including vinyl chloride, acrylic acid, 1,4-butanediol, and plastic such as polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride. In industry, ethylene is mainly produced by thermal cracking of hydrocarbons, and acetylene is mainly produced by cracking or burning of natural gas, in which carbon dioxide (CO2) is usually co-present. Purification of C2H2 or C2H4 from CO2 has important industrial significance for obtaining high-purity, high-value-added organic chemicals. Due to similar physicochemical properties, the separation of C2H4 / CO2 and C2H2 / CO2 is still a key problem to be solved, but current industrial separation technologies such as solvent extraction or cryogenic rectification are high-energy-consuming and environmentally unfriendly.

[0003] In recent years, porous material adsorption separation has attracted more and more attention due to its energy saving, environmental protection and product purity. As an emerging porous material, metal-organic framework (MOF) material has a wide application prospect in gas adsorption separation due to its diversity in composition, adjustable pore structure and functional pore surface. However, traditional MOF materials still have difficulty in realizing effective separation of C2H4 / CO2 and C2H2 / CO2. SUMMARY

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a zinc-based metal-organic framework material and a preparation method and application thereof to solve the problem that traditional MOF materials are difficult to realize effective separation of C2H4 / CO2 and C2H2 / CO2.

[0005] The above-mentioned purpose of the application is realized by the following technical solutions:

[0006] In a first aspect, the application provides a zinc-based metal-organic framework material, which has an expression formula: Zn2(X)2L.

[0007] X represents 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole losing one proton, and L represents fumarate ion.

[0008] The zinc-based metal-organic framework material has a columnar layered three-dimensional porous network structure.

[0009] The pore size of the zinc-based metal-organic framework material is 0.2 nm-0.3 nm, and the porosity is 20%-25%.

[0010] In some embodiments, the zinc-based metal-organic framework material belongs to the monoclinic crystal system with space group . C 2 / c .

[0011] In some embodiments, the cell parameters of the zinc-based metal-organic framework material are: a = 23.39Å, b = 8.34Å, c = 9.11Å, α = 90°, β = 116.36°, gamma = 90°, cell volume is 1592.65 Å 3 .

[0012] In some embodiments, at 298 K, the zinc-based metal-organic framework material has an adsorption capacity of ≥0.95 mmol / g for CO2 and an adsorption capacity of ≤0.55 mmol / g for volatile organic compounds, wherein the volatile organic compounds include one or more of C2H2, C2H4, C2H6, C3H6, and C3H8.

[0013] A second aspect of this application provides a method for preparing a zinc-based metal-organic framework material, comprising the following steps:

[0014] Methanol and water are mixed to obtain a mixed solvent;

[0015] The reactants containing 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, zinc salt and fumaric acid are dissolved in the mixed solvent and subjected to a solvothermal reaction to obtain the zinc-based metal-organic framework material.

[0016] In some embodiments, the zinc salt includes one or more of zinc nitrate, zinc chloride, zinc sulfate, zinc carbonate, zinc acetate, zinc oxalate, and zinc acetylacetonate.

[0017] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of the 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, the zinc element in the zinc salt, and the fumaric acid is (0.8~1.2):1:0.5.

[0018] In some embodiments, the volume ratio of methanol to water is 1:(1.5~2.5).

[0019] In some embodiments, the reactants further contain a base regulator, which includes one or more of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, and potassium bicarbonate.

[0020] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of the zinc salt to the alkali regulator is 1:(0.1~1.5).

[0021] In some embodiments, the temperature of the solvothermal reaction is 70 ℃~90 ℃ and the time is 48 h~72 h.

[0022] In a third aspect, this application provides the application of a zinc-based metal-organic framework material prepared by the method described above, or a zinc-based metal-organic framework material prepared by the method described above, in carbon dioxide capture and catalytic conversion.

[0023] This application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0024] This application provides a hybrid columnar zinc-based metal-organic framework material (Zn-MOF material) whose catalytic performance can be tuned by adjusting its two-dimensional layered ligand X and pillared ligand L. The two-dimensional layered ligand X is selected from 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole that has lost one proton. The ligand has a -NH2 side group, which is a highly electron-donating group. This relaxes the Zn-O bond, helping to expose more Zn sites and thus improving catalytic performance. The pillared ligand L is selected from the fumarate ion, which has a longer chain length and greater rigidity. By modulating the connection mode of the two ligands, the Zn-MOF material forms a new topology and crystal phase structure, exhibiting a pore structure and active site microenvironment that are drastically different from traditional Zn-MOFs. This Zn-MOF material has a pore size of 0.25 nm–0.28 nm and a porosity of 20.6%–22.9%. Its CO2 adsorption selectivity is significantly superior to other volatile organic compounds, enabling effective separation of C2H4 / CO2 and C2H2 / CO2, which is beneficial for its widespread application in CO2 capture and catalytic conversion.

[0046] VOC: Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC).

[0047] The following provides a detailed description of the Zn-MOF provided in this application, its preparation method, and its applications.

[0048] MOF materials originate from the self-assembly of organic ligands and inorganic nodes. Despite some gas molecules having nearly identical molecular sizes and physical properties, MOF materials demonstrate great potential for separating these two gas molecules through structural framework modulation. Many MOF materials have been used for the storage of C2H2 and the separation of C2H4 / CO2 or C2H2 / CO2. However, almost all reported MOF adsorbents exhibit a trade-off between high adsorption capacity and high adsorption selectivity. For example, MOF materials with high open metal site density, such as the MOF-74 series, have high C2H2 storage capacity, but their adsorption and separation selectivity for C2H4 / CO2 and C2H2 / CO2 is low. Therefore, it is necessary to develop MOF materials with high adsorption selectivity to achieve efficient separation of C2H4 / CO2 and C2H2 / CO2.

[0049] Based on this, in a first aspect, this application provides a zinc-based metal-organic framework material (Zn-MOF material) to improve the adsorption selectivity of Zn-MOF material in order to achieve effective separation of C2H4 / CO2 and C2H2 / CO2.

[0050] In some embodiments, the expression for Zn-MOF material is: Zn2(X)2L;

[0051] Where X represents 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole that has lost one proton, and L represents fumarate ion;

[0052] Zn-MOF materials have a columnar layered three-dimensional porous network structure;

[0053] The Zn-MOF material has a pore size of 0.2 nm to 0.3 nm and a porosity of 20% to 25%.

[0054] This application provides a mixed-structure columnar Zn-MOF material whose adsorption selectivity can be tuned by adjusting its two-dimensional layered ligand X and pillared ligand L. The two-dimensional layered ligand X is selected from 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole that has lost one proton. The ligand has a -NH2 side group, which is a highly electron-donating group. This relaxes the Zn-O bond, helping to expose more Zn sites and thus improving adsorption activity. The pillar-supporting ligand L is selected from the fumarate ion, which has a longer chain and greater rigidity. By regulating the connection mode of the two ligands, the Zn-MOF material forms distinctly different pore structures and active site microenvironments. The Zn-MOF material has a pore size of 0.25 nm–0.28 nm and a porosity of 20.6%–22.9%. Its adsorption selectivity for CO2 is significantly better than that for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), enabling effective separation of C2H4 / CO2 and C2H2 / CO2, which is beneficial for its widespread application in CO2 capture and catalytic conversion.

[0055] As an example, the pore size of Zn-MOF materials includes, but is not limited to, 0.2 nm, 0.21 nm, 0.22 nm, 0.23 nm, 0.24 nm, 0.25 nm, 0.26 nm, 0.27 nm, 0.28 nm, 0.29 nm or 0.3 nm, preferably 0.25 nm to 0.28 nm.

[0056] As an example, the porosity of the Zn-MOF material includes, but is not limited to, 20%, 20.5%, 21%, 21.5%, 22%, 22.5%, 23%, 23.5%, 24%, 24.5% or 25%, preferably 20.6% to 22.9%.

[0057] In some embodiments, the Zn-MOF material belongs to the monoclinic crystal system with space group . C 2 / c .

[0058] In some embodiments, the unit cell parameters of the Zn-MOF material are: a = 23.39Å, b = 8.34Å, c = 9.11Å, α =90°, β = 116.36°, gamma = 90°, cell volume is 1592.65 Å 3 .

[0059] In some embodiments, at 298 K, the adsorption capacity of the Zn-MOF material for CO2 is ≥0.95 mmol / g, including but not limited to 0.95 mmol / g, 0.96 mmol / g, 0.97 mmol / g, 0.98 mmol / g, 0.99 mmol / g, 1 mmol / g, 1.02 mmol / g, 1.05 mmol / g, 1.08 mmol / g or 1.1 mmol / g, preferably 0.95 mmol / g to 1.05 mmol / g.

[0060] In some embodiments, at 298 K, the Zn-MOF material adsorbs ≤0.55 mmol / g of VOCs, including one or more of acetylene (C2H2), ethylene (C2H4), ethane (C2H6), propylene (C3H6), and propane (C3H8).

[0061] As examples, the adsorption capacities of Zn-MOF materials for VOCs include, but are not limited to, 0.55 mmol / g, 0.5 mmol / g, 0.45 mmol / g, 0.4 mmol / g, 0.35 mmol / g, 0.3 mmol / g, 0.25 mmol / g, 0.2 mmol / g, 0.15 mmol / g, 0.1 mmol / g, 0.05 mmol / g, 0.02 mmol / g, or 0.01 mmol / g. In some specific examples, the adsorption capacities of Zn-MOF materials for acetylene are 0.5 mmol / g to 0.55 mmol / g, and for ethylene, ethane, propylene, and propane are 0.01 mmol / g to 0.06 mmol / g.

[0062] As shown in Table 1, the kinetic diameter of CO2 is 0.33 nm, the kinetic diameter of C2H2 is comparable to that of CO2, and the kinetic diameters of the other VOC gases are all above 0.4 nm. Given that the pore size of Zn-MOF materials is 0.25 nm to 0.28 nm, its small pore size is more conducive to the adsorption of small molecule gases.

[0064]

[0065] In a second aspect, this application provides a method for preparing Zn-MOF materials, which is used to prepare Zn-MOF materials as described above.

[0066] In some embodiments, the preparation method of Zn-MOF materials includes the following steps:

[0067] S11: Mix methanol and water to obtain a mixed solvent;

[0068] S12: Dissolve the reactants containing 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, zinc salt and fumaric acid in a mixed solvent and carry out a solvothermal reaction to obtain Zn-MOF material.

[0069] In traditional solvothermal reactions, substances containing... N , N The mixed solvent of dimethylformamide (DMF) was used, but the adsorption selectivity of the prepared Zn-MOF material was not ideal, making it difficult to achieve effective separation of C2H4 / CO2 and C2H2 / CO2.

[0070] The applicant discovered through research that even if the two-dimensional layered ligand X and the pillared ligand L are the same, the topological structure and crystal phase structure of MOF materials may be completely different. This is because the solvent in the solvothermal reaction plays a dual role in the synthesis of MOF materials: (1) as a structure directing agent, the solvent molecules play a dynamic regulatory role in the entire process from the construction of basic structural units to the formation of the final three-dimensional framework through strong interactions with metal nodes and organic ligands (such as coordination bonds, hydrogen bonds, etc.); (2) although the solvent molecules only have weak interactions with the framework components, by filling the pore space and providing sufficient support, the solvent molecules can act as a template agent to induce the framework to grow around it.

[0071] Based on this, the applicant conducted an in-depth investigation into the effect of solvent template effect on the adsorption selectivity of Zn-MOF materials, and found that by using different solvents as template agents, Zn-MOF materials with the same framework structure composition but different topological structures and crystal phase structures can be synthesized, which in turn has a significant impact on their adsorption selectivity.

[0072] Specifically, when using macromolecular organic solvents such as DMF as template agents, the prepared Zn-MOF materials have relatively large pores and lack a clear selectivity for gas molecules with different kinetic diameters, resulting in low adsorption selectivity for CO2. To avoid the negative impact of macromolecular organic solvents, the applicant used methanol and water as small-molecule solvents and controlled their volume ratio to synthesize a small-pore Zn-MOF material capable of selectively adsorbing CO2, thereby achieving effective separation of C2H4 / CO2 and C2H2 / CO2.

[0073] In some embodiments, the volume ratio of methanol to water is 1:(1.5~2.5), including but not limited to 1:1.5, 1:1.6, 1:1.7, 1:1.8, 1:1.9, 1:2, 1:2.1, 1:2.2, 1:2.3, 1:2.4 or 1:2.5, preferably 1:2.

[0074] In some embodiments, zinc salts include zinc nitrate (Zn(NO3)2), zinc chloride (ZnCl2), zinc sulfate (ZnSO4), zinc carbonate (ZnCO3), zinc acetate (Zn(CH3COO3)2), zinc oxalate (ZnC2O4), and zinc acetylacetonate (C). 10 H 14 One or more of ZnO4.

[0075] Understandably, zinc salts are salt compounds containing zinc. They can be simple salts or complex salts, such as basic zinc carbonate (2ZnCO3·3Zn(OH)2). The above zinc salts may or may not contain water of crystallization, such as zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn(NO3)2·6H2O).

[0076] In some embodiments, the molar volume ratio of zinc element in the zinc salt to the mixed solvent is 1 / 7 mol / L to 1 / 5 mol / L, including but not limited to 1 / 7 mol / L, 1 / 6.5 mol / L, 1 / 6 mol / L, 1 / 5.5 mol / L or 1 / 5 mol / L, preferably 1 / 6 mol / L.

[0077] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, zinc in the zinc salt, and fumaric acid is (0.8~1.2):1:0.5, including but not limited to 0.8:1:0.5, 0.9:1:0.5, 1:1:0.5, 1.1:1:0.5, or 1.2:1:0.5, preferably 1:1:0.5.

[0078] In some embodiments, the reactants further contain a base regulator, which includes one or more of sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), potassium carbonate (K2CO3), sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), and potassium bicarbonate (KHCO3), preferably NaOH or KOH.

[0079] Adding an appropriate amount of alkali regulator can increase the pH in the solvothermal reaction, promoting the reaction towards the formation of Zn-MOF materials, thereby significantly improving the yield and enabling the production to increase from the milligram level to the gram level, thus achieving large-scale commercial production.

[0080] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of zinc element to alkali regulator in zinc salt is 1:(0.1~1.5), including but not limited to 1:0.1, 1:0.2, 1:0.3, 1:0.4, 1:0.5, 1:0.6, 1:0.7, 1:0.8, 1:0.9, 1:1, 1:1.1, 1:1.2, 1:1.3, 1:1.4 or 1:1.5, preferably 1:(0.5~1.5), and more preferably 1:(1~1.5).

[0081] In some embodiments, the method for dissolving the reactants in the mixed solvent is ultrasonication.

[0082] In some embodiments, the temperature of the solvothermal reaction is 70 °C to 90 °C, and the time is 48 h to 72 h. As examples, the temperature of the solvothermal reaction includes, but is not limited to, 70 °C, 72 °C, 74 °C, 76 °C, 78 °C, 80 °C, 82 °C, 84 °C, 86 °C, 88 °C, or 90 °C; and the time of the solvothermal reaction includes, but is not limited to, 48 h, 52 h, 56 h, 60 h, 64 h, 68 h, or 72 h.

[0083] In the solvothermal reaction of this application, the yield of Zn-MOF material decreases significantly with increasing temperature. However, by conducting the solvothermal reaction within a temperature range of 70℃ to 90℃, and in synergy with a base regulator, the yield of Zn-MOF material can be increased to over 20%. Furthermore, the low-temperature conditions can significantly reduce reaction energy consumption and lower the requirements for the reaction apparatus, thereby saving on material preparation costs and facilitating further scale-up synthesis.

[0084] In some embodiments, the solvothermal reaction is carried out under stirring conditions.

[0085] In traditional techniques, the solvothermal reaction for synthesizing Zn-MOF materials typically requires a closed reactor under high temperature and pressure, which makes stirring difficult, resulting in insufficient contact between different components and uneven local concentrations, thus significantly reducing the reaction rate and yield. In contrast, the solvothermal reaction in this application occurs at a lower temperature, eliminating the need for high-temperature, high-pressure, and closed conditions, and allowing for thorough stirring during the reaction, thereby significantly improving both the reaction rate and yield.

[0086] In some embodiments, after the solvothermal reaction, a step of washing the resulting product is further included. The washing solvent includes, but is not limited to, water, methanol, or ethanol, and the washing method may be washing with the solvent 1 to 5 times, or washing with the solvent for 1 hour to 72 hours.

[0087] In some specific embodiments, the preparation method of Zn-MOF material includes the following steps: mixing 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, zinc salt, fumaric acid and base regulator in a molar ratio of (0.8~1.2):1:0.5:(0.1~1.5) to obtain reactants; mixing methanol and water in a volume ratio of 1:(1.5~2.5) to obtain a mixed solvent; adding reactants to the mixed solvent according to a molar volume ratio of zinc element in zinc salt to mixed solvent of 1 / 7 mol / L~1 / 5 mol / L, sonicating until completely dissolved, and then placing it on a heating platform at 70 ℃~90℃ for a solvothermal reaction for 48 h~72 h; washing the obtained product with solvent for 48 h~72 h to obtain Zn-MOF material.

[0088] In a third aspect, this application provides the application of the Zn-MOF material prepared by the method described above, or the Zn-MOF material prepared by the method described above, in CO2 capture and catalytic conversion.

[0089] In some embodiments, under a CO2 atmosphere, constant-potential electrolysis experiments were conducted, and the Faraday efficiency of the Zn-MOF material in catalyzing the reduction of CO2 to carbon monoxide (CO) reached 46%–68%. to It exhibits high selectivity for CO products within the potential window, and no other reduction products were detected throughout the test.

[0090] The following description is further illustrated with specific embodiments and comparative examples. Unless otherwise specified, the raw materials involved in the following specific embodiments and comparative examples are all commercially available. Unless otherwise specified, the instruments used are all commercially available. Unless otherwise specified, the processes involved are conventionally selected by those skilled in the art.

After the reaction was completed, the mixture was filtered, washed three times with methanol, and dried in air. The resulting product was denoted as Zn-atz-fma(rob).
