Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of silicon dioxide synthesis technology, specifically relating to hollow silicon dioxide and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Hollow silica is a type of silica-based material with a hollow structure, and it has wide applications in medicine, catalysis, environment, and new energy. Currently, the synthesis of traditional hollow silica relies on hard template methods (polystyrene, iron oxide, etc.) and soft template methods (microemulsion method, sol-gel method, etc.). The hard template method requires the pre-preparation of a mechanically strong template as a precursor attachment growth point, but this method involves a complex and lengthy template synthesis process. Soft template methods require precise control of microemulsion formation and the addition of soft template agents, and the soft template is thermodynamically unstable, making operation more difficult. Therefore, current hollow silica preparation processes generally face challenges such as complex processes and long workflows. Furthermore, the synthesis process demands extremely high precision in controlling operational details and reagent ratios, which directly affects the quality and performance of the final product.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for hollow silica and its preparation method to alleviate or solve the above problems. A simple and effective method for synthesizing hollow silica is required. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the technical problems of complex and lengthy preparation processes and extremely high operational precision requirements in the aforementioned commonly used techniques, which lead to limited quality stability of the products, this invention provides a method for preparing hollow silica, comprising:

[0005] A mixture containing a template agent and a catalyst is obtained, wherein the template agent self-assembles and precipitates spherical templates under the action of the catalyst; wherein the template agent includes cationic triphenylmethane organic compounds, and the cationic triphenylmethane organic compounds include Basic Blue 7;

[0006] A silicon source is added to the mixture, and the silicon source undergoes a hydrolysis reaction to form silicon dioxide on the surface of the spherical template. After the hydrolysis reaction is complete, the solid and liquid are separated, and the solid phase is collected to obtain a hollow silicon dioxide precursor.

[0007] The hollow silica precursor was calcined to obtain hollow silica.

[0008] Furthermore, the catalyst includes one or more of ammonia, sodium hydroxide, and sodium carbonate.

[0009] Furthermore, in the mixture, the concentration of the template agent is 0.007-0.015 mol / L; and in the mixture, the concentration of the catalyst is 0.3-0.9 mol / L.

[0010] Furthermore, the preparation of the mixture includes the following steps: mixing the template agent with deionized water and the catalyst in sequence, and stirring at a temperature of 40-80°C to obtain the mixture; the stirring time is 15-60 min.

[0011] Furthermore, the molar ratio of the silicon source to the catalyst is 1:5 to 1:10.

[0012] Furthermore, the silicon source includes fluorosilicic acid; the fluorosilicic acid is added to the mixture in the form of a fluorosilicic acid solution, the concentration of the fluorosilicic acid solution being 0.15-0.5 mol / L; in the mixture system of the silicon source and the mixture, the concentration of the silicon source is 0.03-0.1 mol / L; the addition rate of the fluorosilicic acid solution is 0.3-3 ml / min.

[0013] Furthermore, the hydrolysis reaction is carried out at a temperature of 40-85°C; the hydrolysis reaction lasts for 3-9 hours; and the hydrolysis reaction is carried out under stirring conditions.

[0014] Furthermore, the calcination temperature is 500-700℃, and the calcination time is 0.5-6h.

[0015] This invention provides a hollow silica, prepared by any of the hollow silica preparation methods described above.

[0016] Furthermore, the hollow silica structure is hollow, with a cavity diameter of 100-200 nm and a wall thickness of 10-15 nm.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0018] This invention provides a method for preparing hollow silica. In a template agent-catalyst mixed system, the template agent (such as cationic triphenylmethane organic compounds like Basic Blue 7) can self-assemble and precipitate spherical templates under the influence of the catalyst. The spherical templates belong to a positively charged quaternary ammonium salt structure. With the introduction of a silicon source, negatively charged silicon-containing ions (such as fluorosilicate SiF6) are introduced. 2- This invention utilizes electrostatic interactions to bind to spherical templates, subsequently hydrolyzing the template surface to form silica. Calcination is then used to remove the spherical template, leaving a shaped hollow silica structure. This invention is the first to utilize small molecules to automatically form hard template structures in situ in solution, specifically through the self-assembly process of quaternary ammonium salt templates such as Basic Blue 7. This method easily and efficiently overcomes the complex template synthesis problems associated with hard templates in the early stages, while also avoiding the thermodynamic instability issues of soft templates. It represents a novel synthetic method and provides a new approach for in-depth research into the formation mechanism and performance regulation of hollow silica. Attached Figure Description

Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this invention, as well as the prior art known to those skilled in the art and the description of the invention, may be implemented using any prior art methods, devices, and materials similar to or equivalent to the methods, devices, and materials in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0039] This invention provides a method for preparing hollow silica, comprising:

[0040] S1. Obtain a mixture containing a template agent and a catalyst, wherein the template agent self-assembles and precipitates a spherical template under the action of the catalyst.

[0041] In this invention, the template agent includes one or more cationic triphenylmethane organic compounds such as Basic Blue 7. For example, the template agent may be Basic Blue 7.

[0042] In this invention, the catalyst includes one or more of ammonia, sodium hydroxide, and sodium carbonate; in some embodiments of this invention, the catalyst may include ammonia.

[0043] In this invention, the preparation of the mixture includes the following steps: mixing the template agent sequentially with deionized water and the catalyst, and stirring at 100-600 rpm for 15-60 min (more specifically 20-60 min or 15-30 min) at a temperature of 40-70°C to obtain the mixture. In some embodiments, the mixture of template agent, deionized water, and catalyst can be stirred at a temperature of 50-70°C to ensure that the template remains stable in the aqueous solution; excessively high temperatures will cause the template to become unstable and decompose.

[0044] In some embodiments, the template agent can be dissolved in deionized water and then stirred for 5-10 minutes; then the catalyst can be dissolved in the mixture of the template agent and deionized water and stirred for 15-60 minutes (moreover, 20-60 minutes or 15-30 minutes); the temperature of the second stirring can be 40-70°C.

[0045] In some embodiments, the mixing order of the template agent, deionized water, and catalyst can be: first, the template agent is mixed with deionized water, and then ammonia water is added to the mixture of the template agent and deionized water.

[0046] In this invention, the concentration of the template agent in the mixture is 0.007-0.015 mol / L (further 0.010-0.015 mol / L), and the concentration of the catalyst in the mixture is 0.3-0.9 mol / L (further 0.4-0.7 mol / L); the volume of the mixture is 200 ml. This invention controls the concentration of the template agent in the mixture to be 0.007-0.015 mol / L, ensuring that the template agent concentration is appropriate. Too low a concentration would result in an excess of Si, forming free silica nanoparticles, while too high a concentration might result in insufficient Si concentration, preventing the formation of a stable and complete silica structure.

[0047] S2. Add the silicon source to the mixture, and the silicon source undergoes a hydrolysis reaction to form silicon dioxide on the surface of the spherical template; after the hydrolysis reaction is completed, the solid and liquid are separated, and the solid phase is collected to obtain a hollow silicon dioxide precursor.

[0048] In this invention, the silicon source may include a fluorosilicic acid solution with a concentration of 0.15-0.5 mol / L. In some embodiments, the preparation of the fluorosilicic acid solution may include the steps of adding fluorosilicic acid to deionized water to form a fluorosilicic acid solution with a concentration of 0.15-0.5 mol / L, wherein the volume of the fluorosilicic acid solution may be 50 ml, and the addition rate of the fluorosilicic acid may be 0.3-3 ml / min; in some embodiments, in the mixture system of the silicon source and the mixed solution, the concentration of the silicon source is 0.03-0.1 mol / L.

[0049] In this invention, the molar ratio of silicon source to catalyst can be 1:5 to 1:10; in some embodiments, the molar ratio of silicon source to catalyst can be 1:8 to 1:10.

[0050] In this invention, the temperature of the hydrolysis reaction is 40-85°C, further 40-80°C, further 60-80°C; the duration of the hydrolysis reaction is 3-9 hours, further 3-8 hours or 7-9 hours; and the hydrolysis reaction is carried out under stirring conditions.

[0051] In this invention, the silicon source can be added to the mixture at a rate of 0.3-3 ml / min, and the mixture can be stirred at a stirring rate of 100-600 rpm for 3-9 h (more specifically, 3-8 h or 7-9 h) under the temperature conditions of the hydrolysis reaction.

[0052] In this invention, the prepared hollow silica precursor can be dried, and the drying method can be freeze drying or oven drying at a constant temperature.

[0053] S3. The hollow silica precursor is calcined to obtain hollow silica.

[0054] In this invention, the calcination temperature can be 500-700℃, and the calcination time can be 0.5-6h (more specifically 0.5-2h); in some embodiments of this invention, the calcination temperature can be 500-650℃.

[0055] In step S1 of the present invention, when the template agent includes one or more cationic triphenylmethane organic compounds such as Basic Blue 7, a spherical template with a positively charged surface will be precipitated after the template agent is added to the catalyst.

[0056] In step S2 of the present invention, when the silicon source is a fluorosilicic acid solution, the negatively charged fluorosilicate ions (SiF6) 2- It combines with a spherical template and hydrolyzes on the surface of the spherical template to form silicon dioxide.

[0057] In step S3 of the present invention, the high-temperature calcination process removes the residual template agent precipitated inside the silicon dioxide, forming a hollow structure in the silicon dioxide to obtain hollow silicon dioxide.

[0058] This invention provides a hollow silica, prepared by any of the hollow silica preparation methods described above.
