Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to a preparation method of a heterojunction photocatalyst based on a hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF) and tungsten trioxide (WO3), and relates to the technical field of photocatalyst material preparation. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the continuous advancement of global energy crisis and carbon neutralization goals, developing clean energy conversion technology driven by solar energy has become an important direction for building a sustainable energy system. Among them, the photocatalytic water splitting to produce hydrogen technology based on semiconductor materials is widely considered as one of the ideal paths to realize the conversion of solar energy to hydrogen energy, because of its green environmental protection, mild reaction conditions, clean and non-polluted products, etc.
[0003] Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) are a new type of semiconductor photocatalytic material, which has been widely studied in recent years. They have high crystallinity and mild synthesis conditions, and are easy to build adjustable pore structures, and show excellent light absorption properties. The ordered pi-pi stacking and hydrogen bond network in the material cooperatively form an electron delocalization channel, which effectively promotes the migration and transmission of photo-generated carriers. These unique advantages make it stand out among many catalytic materials. However, due to the poor intrinsic conductivity and energy level structure, the photo-generated carriers in single HOF material are rapidly recombined and the separation efficiency is low, which seriously restricts the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance.
[0004] Building a heterojunction is considered an effective strategy to improve the photocatalytic performance of HOFs, which is expected to inhibit carrier recombination, improve charge separation efficiency and enhance material stability. However, the HOF-based heterojunctions reported so far generally face the problems of weak interfacial coupling and insufficient stability of heterojunction structure, which limits the further breakthrough of catalytic performance. SUMMARY
[0005] The purpose of the present application is to solve the problems of weak interfacial interaction and unstable heterojunction structure of the existing synthesis of HOF-based heterojunctions, and to provide a preparation method of HOF / WO3 S-type heterojunction composite photocatalyst.

[0032] The resulting solution was transferred to a 100 mL polytetrafluoroethylene-lined high-pressure reactor and kept at 180 °C for 18 h.
[0033] After the reaction was completed, the product was naturally cooled to room temperature. The product was centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 5 min, and the gray solid precipitate was collected. It was washed three times with deionized water and anhydrous ethanol, respectively. The sample was then placed in a vacuum freeze dryer and dried for 24 h to obtain WO3 powder.
[0034] II. Preparation of HOF / WO3 composite materials:

[0039] Tungsten trioxide (WO3) is a classic n-type semiconductor with excellent photochemical stability and carrier trapping ability. Its surface readily forms stable coordination bonds with oxygen-containing functional groups. This strong interaction can significantly enhance carrier transport between heterojunctions and induce a strong built-in electric field (IEF), thereby driving the spatially selective separation and migration of photogenerated electron-hole pairs.
[0040] This invention provides an S-shaped heterojunction composite photocatalyst based on HOF / WO3 and its preparation method. This method, for the first time, utilizes a one-pot self-assembly strategy to synthesize WO3 nanorods via a hydrothermal method. HOF building blocks and WO3 nanorods are co-dispersed, and WO3 nanorods are introduced in situ during HOF crystal growth, inducing C–O–W coordination and an S-shaped heterostructure. This significantly enhances interfacial charge separation and migration efficiency. The heterojunction is formed in situ during crystallization via a one-pot self-assembly strategy. The composite material is obtained after centrifugation, washing, and freeze-drying. This method induces C–O–W coordination at the HOF / WO3 interface, constructing an S-shaped heterojunction with a built-in electric field, significantly improving photogenerated charge separation and migration efficiency. The preparation process of this invention is mild and simple, and the obtained material exhibits excellent photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity and stability under visible light.
[0041] Compared with existing HOF-based photocatalytic materials and their preparation methods, the material obtained by this invention has the following advantages:
[0042] (1) The one-pot self-assembly method achieved close interfacial contact between HOF and WO3 at the nanoscale, forming a stable rod-rod heterostructure;
[0043] (2) The C–O–W coordination bonds formed at the interface effectively enhance the built-in electric field and promote the efficient spatial separation and migration of photogenerated carriers;
[0044] (3) The constructed HOF / WO3S heterojunction significantly improves the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance. Attached Figure Description
