Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electrocatalytic materials technology, and particularly relates to a silver-modified Anderson-type polyacid catalyst electrode material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Sulfur oxides (SO₄) released from the combustion of sulfur-containing fuels x Aromatic sulfur is a major air pollutant, not only a primary cause of environmental events such as acid rain and photochemical smog, but also significantly linked to the greenhouse effect. Among numerous emerging desulfurization technologies, electrocatalytic oxidative desulfurization (EODS) has attracted considerable attention and become a research hotspot in recent years due to its ability to effectively remove aromatic sulfur components from fuel oil. The oxidation reaction of methyl phenyl sulfide (MPS) serves as a typical oxidative desulfurization reaction model, producing methyl phenyl sulfoxide (MPS) and methyl phenyl sulfone (MPS). MPS is an important pharmaceutical intermediate; the market size of omeprazole enteric-coated tablets synthesized from MPS is projected to reach $7.2 billion by 2027 (according to IQVIA forecasts). Therefore, improving the selectivity of methyl phenyl sulfide oxidation to sulfoxide synthesis is of great significance.

[0003] Catalysts are one of the decisive factors affecting the selectivity of sulfoxides. Therefore, researchers have been dedicated to developing highly efficient catalysts to improve the selectivity of sulfoxides. Polyoxometalates (also known as polyacids) play an important role in oxidative desulfurization reactions due to their unique redox properties and well-defined structures. However, in the field of electrocatalytic desulfurization, polyacids still face problems such as poor conductivity, unsatisfactory electrocatalytic effect, and low selectivity.

[0004] Silver-based composite materials, as catalysts, possess advantages such as high stability, low toxicity, and strong resistance to deactivation, maintaining high Faradaic efficiency even after long-term operation. Based on this, it is speculated that silver-modified polyacids hold promise for significantly improving electrocatalytic desulfurization. To date, the application of silver-based polyacids in the electrocatalytic synthesis of sulfoxides has not attracted much attention. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a silver-modified Anderson-type polyacid catalyst electrode material and its preparation method, aiming to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] Where M is Ag, Cu, Co or Ni, x = 0 to 3; Ar is thiophene, pyrrole, pyridine or imidazole, y = 0 to 3.

[0008] A further technical solution is to use Ag when x = 3 and y = 0. + The ions form a unique three-dimensional open framework structure with the anions of Anderson-type polyacid salts through coordination bonds;

[0009] Its cell parameters are: α=111.5130(10)°, β=96.7720(10)°, γ=91.8030(10)°.

[0011] Another objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a silver-modified Anderson-type polyacid catalyst electrode material. Based on the aforementioned silver-modified Anderson-type polyacid electrode material, the preparation process includes the following steps:

[0012] Step 1: Add distilled water to beakers A and B respectively. Dissolve Na3(CrMo6O) in beaker A. 24 H6)·8H2O; Add a certain molar ratio of soluble inorganic metal salt and pyridine ligand to beaker B, then mix the solutions in the two beakers, and adjust the pH of the mixed solution with a certain concentration of nitric acid solution; continue stirring for a period of time, transfer the mixed solution to a polytetrafluoroethylene-lined autoclave, and then place it in an oven for a period of time; finally, remove the autoclave, separate the product, wash, and dry to obtain a crystalline substance with a specific morphology, which is the Anderson-type polyacid catalyst.

[0013] Step 2: Soak commercially available carbon cloth (CC) in 2M HCl solution and boil it to ensure surface cleanliness; under ultrasonic conditions, disperse the obtained catalyst and conductive agent in a mixed solvent of isopropanol and water containing 5wt% Nafion to prepare a suspension; spray the suspension onto the surface of the carbon cloth and dry it at room temperature to obtain catalyst-modified carbon cloth.

[0014] A further technical solution is that, in step 1, Na3(CrMo6O) 24The molar ratio of H6)·8H2O, soluble inorganic metal salt, and pyridine ligand is 1:10:10 to 5:10:10; the soluble inorganic metal salt is one or two of nitrate, sulfate, and acetate.

[0015] In a further technical solution, in step 1, the concentration of the nitric acid solution used is 0.1–2 mol / L, the pH range of the mixed solution is 1–5, the stirring time is 1–3 h, the reaction temperature is 60–180 °C, and the heating time is 24–120 h.

[0016] In a further technical solution, in step 2, the carbon cloth includes hydrophilic carbon cloth or hydrophobic carbon cloth, and the conductive agent includes one or two of acetylene black, graphene, carbon nanotubes, and carbon dots; the catalyst mass is 0.1-10 mg, the isopropanol volume is 100-900 μL, the deionized water volume is 100-900 μL, and the suspension volume is 1-100 μL.

[0017] Another objective of this invention is to provide an application of a silver-modified Anderson-type polyacid catalyst electrode material, which is used in the electrocatalytic synthesis of sulfoxides based on the aforementioned silver-modified Anderson-type polyacid catalyst electrode material.

[0018] The present invention provides a silver-modified Anderson-type polyacid catalyst electrode material and its preparation method, the beneficial effects of which are as follows:

[0019] (1) Several novel compounds were successfully prepared by hydrothermal synthesis, mainly classified into the following three categories: Ag-modified CrMo6-type polyacids; CrMo6-type polyacids co-modified by different transition metals (Ag, Cu, Co, Ni) and organic ligands (Ar-CH=CH-Ar); and Mo8-type polyacids modified by a single organic ligand (1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene, abbreviated as bpe). The crystal structure was clarified by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, and the consistency between the crystal structure and the single-crystal analysis results was further verified by various characterization methods such as infrared spectroscopy (IR), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).

[0020] (2) When the above seven compounds were applied to the electrocatalytic synthesis of sulfoxides at room temperature, Ag3CrMo6 compounds exhibited excellent catalytic performance, with methyl phenyl sulfide (MPS) conversion, sulfoxide selectivity, and Faradaic efficiency reaching 100%, 95%, and 96%, respectively. In contrast, the synthesized non-silver transition metal modified Anderson-type polyacid catalyst showed relatively low electrocatalytic performance, further illustrating the key role of Ag modification in improving sulfoxide selectivity. The developed silver-modified Anderson-type polyacid catalyst provides a new approach for the field of electrocatalytic desulfurization.

[0021] (3) This method uses inexpensive chemical sulfide as a raw material and water as an oxygen source. It utilizes electrical energy to drive the transfer of oxygen atoms from water molecules to sulfide molecules, thereby achieving the efficient and green synthesis of sulfoxide. This method has the advantages of mild reaction conditions and does not require the use of traditional oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide or ozone, significantly improving safety and environmental friendliness. It aligns with the concept of sustainable development and is beneficial to ecological environmental protection. Therefore, it has high market promotion value and broad application prospects.

[0075] The electrode materials prepared in Examples 1, 2, and Comparative Examples 1 to 7 were applied to the electrocatalytic synthesis of sulfoxide. The catalytic experimental procedures for all electrocatalytic synthesis of sulfoxide were identical; the specific experimental procedures are detailed below using Example 1 as an example.

[0076] Electrocatalytic synthesis of sulfoxide was carried out using a three-electrode system, in which Ag3CrMo6 / CC (1cm) was used. 2 A platinum sheet is used as the counter electrode, and Ag / Ag is used as the working electrode. + The electrode served as a reference electrode. Electrolysis experiments were conducted in an electrolytic cell using a constant potential electrolysis method. Before the experiment, 10 cyclic voltammetric (CV) scans were performed at a scan rate of 20 mV·s. -1 The scan range was 0–1.2 V. Subsequently, MPS (0.5 mmol), dodecane (0.6 mmol), acetic acid-water solution (CH3COCH3 / H2O, 25.0 mL, volume ratio 23:2), and LiClO4 (1.0 mmol) were added to the system, and the scan was performed at 1.0 V vs. Ag / Ag. + Electrolysis was performed at a constant potential for 5 hours. For cycle stability testing, the Ag3CrMo6 / CC electrode was washed multiple times with acetone and ethanol after each cycle and dried in air before use in the next cycle.

[0077] After the electrocatalytic reaction was completed, 1 μL of the reaction solution was taken for qualitative analysis by gas chromatography (GC). The analytical conditions were as follows: the column temperature was initially set at 60 °C and held for 2 min, then increased to 100 °C at a rate of 5 °C / min and held for 1 min, and then increased to 125 °C at a rate of 1 °C / min and held for 0.1 min.

[0078] Table 3 shows a comparison of the electrocatalytic synthesis performance of sulfoxides in Comparative Examples 1-7 with those in Examples 1 and 2. The experimental results indicate that Example 1 (Ag3CrMo6 / CC) exhibits the best sulfoxide selectivity compared to Example 2 and Comparative Examples 1-7. After electrolysis at 1.0 V for 10 h at room temperature, the sulfoxide selectivity and Faradaic efficiency reached 95% and 96%, respectively. After six cycles, the catalyst maintained a selectivity and Faradaic efficiency of over 90%, demonstrating good stability and reusability.

[0080]

[0081] Depend on Figure 1It can be seen that there are two crystallographically independent Ag types in Ag3CrMo6. + The ions are Ag1 and Ag2, both exhibiting a six-coordinate mode. Ag1 coordinates not only with the adjacent polyacid unit but also with a water molecule (H2O). In this structure, each Anderson-type anion [Cr(OH)6Mo6O]... 18 ] 3- As a dodecanotic chelate ligand, it interacts with Ag via the terminal O atom and the bridging O atom. + Ion coordination. These [Cr(OH)6Mo6O 18 ] 3- Anionic clusters are first linked by Ag-O bonds to form one-dimensional chains. Each chain is then further connected to two parallel chains via Ag-O-Mo bonds, thus constructing a window-like two-dimensional layered structure. This structure is composed of polymetallic oxy-ion cluster anions and Ag... + Such a two-dimensional layered structure composed of ions is quite rare. Furthermore, these two-dimensional sheets are further connected by another type of six-coordinated silver ion (Ag2), forming a three-dimensional open framework.

[0082] Figure 2 The crystal structure diagrams are for Example 2 and Comparative Materials 1-5. Figure 2 (a)-(f) are CrMo6-Ag-bpe, CrMo6-Co-bpe, CrMo6-Cu-bpe, CrMo6-Cu-bpe-2, CrMo6-Ni-bpe, and Mo8-bpe.

[0083] Figure 3 The PXRD patterns of seven compounds are shown. Figure 3 (a)-(g) correspond to Ag3CrMo6, CrMo6-Ag-bpe, CrMo6-Cu-bpe, CrMo6-Co-bpe, CrMo6-Cu-bpe-2, CrMo6-Ni-bpe, and Mo8-bpe, respectively. PXRD analysis shows that the measured peak positions of the crystals are basically consistent with the simulated peak positions, proving that the prepared compound is a pure phase and further demonstrating the successful preparation of the compound.

[0084] Figure 4 These are scanning electron microscope images of Ag3CrMo6 before and after the reaction. Before the reaction, the Ag3CrMo6 catalyst exhibits a nanosphere morphology on CC. After the electrocatalytic reaction, the catalyst morphology remains essentially unchanged, and no Ag element aggregation occurs, demonstrating that the synthesized catalyst has good stability.

[0085] Figure 5These are high-resolution transmission electron microscope (TEM) images of Ag3CrMo6 before and after the reaction. No lattice fringes of elemental Ag were observed in the Ag3CrMo6 catalyst before or after the reaction. Combined with EDS analysis, the catalyst showed a uniform distribution of elements after the reaction, indicating that no elemental Ag was generated during the electrocatalytic reaction, further demonstrating the excellent stability of the Ag3CrMo6 catalyst in electrocatalytic reactions.

[0086] Figure 6 The table presents a performance comparison of seven compounds in the electrocatalytic synthesis of sulfoxide. Analysis of the data in Table 3 shows that Ag3CrMo6 exhibits the best catalytic effect compared to other comparative materials, with conversion, selectivity, and Faraday efficiency reaching 100%, 95%, and 96%, respectively. This demonstrates that introducing the transition metal Ag into Anderson-type polyacids can significantly improve the desulfurization effect of electrocatalytic MPS. It is further speculated that the active site for electrocatalytic MPS oxidative desulfurization may be located on Ag. A comparison of the Ag coordination environments in Ag3CrMo6 and CrMo6-Ag-bpe catalysts reveals that the Ag3CrMo6 crystal structure contains two different silver coordination environments: Ag1 (coordinated with one water molecule and four adjacent polyacids) and Ag2 (coordinated only with four adjacent polyacids). In contrast, CrMo6-Ag-bpe contains only one coordination environment, Ag2. Previous studies have shown that metals with active oxygen are usually catalytically active sites. Combined with experimental results, Ag1 in Ag3CrMo6 is the catalytically active site in the electrocatalytic MPS oxidation reaction.

[0087] Figure 7 This is the mass spectrum of the sulfoxide product synthesized by electrocatalysis. A characteristic peak of methylphenyl sulfoxide appeared at m / z = 140.0, further verifying the successful conversion of MPS to methylphenyl sulfoxide.

[0088] Figure 8 Figures a and b in the figure show the cyclic stability test results of Ag3CrMo6 / CC as an electrocatalyst and the PXRD patterns before and after the electrocatalytic reaction, respectively. Using Ag3CrMo6 / CC as a catalyst, in a standard electrocatalytic system, after six cycles of stability testing, the catalyst still maintained a selectivity and conversion rate of over 90%. PXRD tests on the catalyst before and after cycling showed that the crystal structure of Ag3CrMo6 / CC remained stable after six cycles, demonstrating the excellent cyclic stability of this catalyst.
