Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of inorganic nanocomposites, and relates to a composite material of PDI nanosheet surface growth of ZnSe nanoparticles, a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous acceleration of global industrialization, a large amount of organic pollutants and heavy metal ions are discharged, and water pollution problems are becoming increasingly serious, which has become a global problem threatening the ecological environment and human health. Traditional treatment methods such as adsorption, membrane separation, chemical precipitation and biological treatment still have obvious limitations in treatment efficiency, secondary pollution and operation cost. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new efficient, green and sustainable treatment technologies. Semiconductor photocatalytic oxidation technology is considered as an ideal way to control environmental pollution due to its low energy consumption, simple operation, mild conditions and no secondary pollution. At the same time, photocatalysis does not require additional chemical oxidants, and has excellent environmental friendliness and industrialization potential. In addition to pollution remediation, photocatalysis also plays an important role in organic synthesis, fine chemical industry and preparation of high value-added intermediates. Based on the controllable reaction path and mild reaction conditions of photocatalysis, researchers have gradually applied it to green synthesis processes such as selective oxidation and reductive coupling, providing a new strategy for low-carbon chemistry and sustainable development. However, the existing photocatalytic materials generally have the following defects: insufficient visible light utilization, fast photoelectron-hole recombination, low quantum efficiency, and insufficient structural stability and reusability. The above problems seriously restrict the application of photocatalytic technology in practical engineering fields. Therefore, developing new photocatalysts with wide visible light response, efficient charge separation and structural stability has become the core direction and research focus of current photocatalytic technology development. The present application aims to solve the technical problems of narrow light absorption range, fast charge recombination and low catalytic efficiency of existing photocatalytic materials, and provide more application-oriented materials and process basis for environmental governance and green synthesis.

[0003] In recent years, more and more organic semiconductor materials have appeared in the field of photocatalysis. Among them, perylene diimide (PDI) is a typical organic photocatalytic material, which has attracted much attention due to its diverse structure, abundant raw materials, low price and high extinction coefficient. Especially when PDI is used as a photocatalyst, due to its internal hydrogen bond and π-π stacking structure, it provides the driving force for electron transfer and exhibits excellent oxidation performance. However, due to the presence of multiple benzene rings in its structure, the large rigid planar conjugated system determines the presence of strong intermolecular forces. This leads to poor solubility of PDI and high recombination rate of electron-hole pairs, which restricts its activity in photocatalysis. Therefore, developing efficient PDI-based composite photocatalytic materials with excellent photoelectron-hole pair separation and transmission performance is a hot research topic.

[0004] ZnSe is a typical II-VI compound semiconductor. The most common stable phase is the cubic zinc blende structure, in which each central atom is surrounded by four coordinating atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement. This arrangement results in a tight and ordered bonding between atoms, and the space group has high symmetry, providing a specific structural basis for physical processes such as electron transport and light absorption and emission. At the same time, ZnSe is a direct band gap semiconductor with a band gap of about 2.7 eV, which can absorb ultraviolet to blue-green visible light, and has good advantages in photocatalytic applications.

[0026] In order to clarify the technical solutions and technical purposes of the present application, the present application will be further described below in conjunction with specific examples, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto.

[0027] The photocatalytic activity of the PDI nanosheet surface-grown ZnSe nanoparticle composite material prepared in the present application is characterized by two experiments of photocatalytic preparation of H2O2 and reduction of Cr(VI) in water.

[0028] Photocatalytic preparation of H2O2: The photocatalytic H2O2 generation experiment was carried out under irradiation of a 300 W xenon lamp simulating sunlight for 1 h. The specific method is as follows: 15 mg of the PDI / ZnSe composite material prepared in the example was added into 50 mL of deionized water as a photocatalyst. Before the photocatalytic H2O2 generation reaction, a 30-minute dark reaction was carried out to ensure that the photocatalyst and air reached adsorption-desorption equilibrium. During the reaction, 1 mL of the suspension was taken from the reaction system every 10 minutes, and the photocatalyst was removed by filtration. Finally, the concentration of H2O2 was determined by iodometric method.

[0029] The photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) experiment was carried out in a GHX-3 type photochemical reaction instrument: 20 mg of the PDI / ZnSe composite material prepared in the example was taken as a photocatalyst and uniformly dispersed in 50 mL of a 10 ppm Cr(VI) aqueous solution. First, the mixed system was ultrasonically treated for 10 minutes to ensure sufficient dispersion, and then it was magnetically stirred in the dark for 30 minutes to allow the photocatalyst and Cr(VI) to reach adsorption-desorption equilibrium. A 300 W xenon lamp was used, equipped with a 420 nm filter, to irradiate the reaction system, and the stirring was maintained continuously. During the irradiation, 2 mL of the reaction solution was taken at certain time intervals, filtered through a microporous filter membrane, and further centrifuged to remove possible residual solids and impurities. Finally, the absorbance value of the filtrate at 540 nm wavelength was determined by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry. Example 1

[0030] (1) 0.0098 g of pyrene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride, 0.0089 g of β-alanine, and 0.5 g of imidazole were weighed, uniformly ground, and then heated to 80°C in a tube furnace under N2 protection for calcination for 2 h. Subsequently, the reaction product was dispersed in 30 mL of ethanol, 100 mL of 2 mol / L hydrochloric acid was added dropwise, and the reaction was stirred. After the reaction was completed, centrifugation, washing, and vacuum drying were carried out; then the product was dissolved in 60 mL of deionized water, 300 μL of triethylamine was added, 8 mL of 4 mol / L hydrochloric acid was added dropwise, and the reaction was stirred for 8 h. After the reaction was completed, centrifugation and washing were carried out. After vacuum drying, the PDI nanosheet was obtained by grinding.

[0031] (2) 0.0098 g of pyrene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride, 0.0089 g of β-alanine, and 0.5 g of imidazole were weighed, uniformly ground, and then heated to 80°C in a tube furnace under N2 protection for calcination for 2 h. Subsequently, the reaction product was dispersed in 30 mL of ethanol, 100 mL of 2 mol / L hydrochloric acid was added dropwise, and the reaction was stirred. After the reaction was completed, centrifugation, washing, and vacuum drying were carried out; then the product was dissolved in 60 mL of deionized water, 300 μL of triethylamine was added, 8 mL of 4 mol / L hydrochloric acid was added dropwise, and the reaction was stirred for 8 h. After the reaction was completed, centrifugation and washing were carried out. After vacuum drying, the PDI nanosheet was obtained by grinding. 2.7392 g of ZnCl2and 1.5871 g of selenium powder were dissolved in 30 mL of NaOH solution with a concentration of 2 mol / L, and after stirring, 4 mmol of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid was added, followed by the addition of 6 mL of hydrazine hydrate, and the reaction was stirred. 0.0293 g of PDI nanosheets prepared in step (1) was weighed and added, and after ultrasonic mixing, it was transferred to a reaction kettle and heated to 140°C, and reacted for 20 h. After the reaction was completed, it was cooled to room temperature. The reaction product was washed, vacuum dried, and ground to obtain a composite material of PDI nanosheets with ZnSe nanoparticles grown on the surface, referred to as "sample 1". Among them, the content of PDI in the composite photocatalyst is 1%.

[0032] Figure 1 The XRD pattern of the composite photocatalyst sample 1 prepared according to Example 1 can be clearly seen from the figure, and the strong diffraction peaks of the prepared material indicate the high crystallinity of the prepared sample. The XRD peak shape of sample 1 is very similar to that of ZnSe, and the typical diffraction peak of PDI cannot be observed due to the small amount of PDI added. To confirm whether PDI / ZnSe composite material exists in PDI, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) test was performed on the same sample, as shown in Figure 2 ZnSe is an inorganic substance and cannot be detected for its characteristic peak. The vibration peaks at 1342 cm -1 and 1590 cm -1 belong to the stretching of the perylene ring, confirming the formation of PDI. Careful observation shows that the characteristic peaks of Example 1 are consistent with those of single-phase PDI, which strongly proves the successful construction of PDI / ZnSe composite material.

As can be seen from the diagram, the ZnSe single-component material exhibits a high fluorescence emission intensity, indicating that the photo-generated carrier recombination rate is high. In contrast, the P intensity of the PDI / ZnSe composite material is greatly reduced, which proves that the heterojunction formed between the two materials enables effective separation of photo-excited carriers.
