Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of nanomaterial preparation research, specifically to the application of a MOF525 / TpAQ-COF II type heterojunction core-shell structure photocatalyst in dye treatment. Background Technology

[0002] The efficient treatment of organic pollutants in industrial wastewater is a major challenge in environmental science today. With the rapid development of the textile and pharmaceutical industries, synthetic dyes, such as Rhodamine B (RhB), are widely detected in the environment. RhB is highly toxic and can induce gene mutations; its accumulation in the natural environment poses a significant threat to ecosystems. Traditional treatment technologies, such as adsorption, filtration, and ion exchange, are ineffective in removing organic pollutants due to their poor performance, complex preparation, and high operating costs. Therefore, there is a need to develop simple, efficient, and cost-effective technologies for eliminating organic pollutants in water.

[0003] In recent years, photocatalysis technology based on semiconductor materials has attracted widespread attention due to its high reaction rate, free radical reaction, reusability, non-toxicity, and low pollution. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are crystalline porous polymers in which organic monomers are interconnected by strong covalent bonds. They possess excellent chemical and thermal stability and flexible topological connectivity. Furthermore, COFs have tunable porosity and a large specific surface area, giving them unique properties such as a wide specific surface area and customizable pore structure. They are an important class of photocatalysts in chemisorption, gas storage, sensing, and catalysis. However, single-component photocatalysts lead to rapid recombination of charge carriers; constructing heterojunctions is an effective way to promote the separation of photogenerated charge carriers. Among them, the band arrangement of type II heterojunctions can drive photogenerated electrons and holes to migrate to different material components, thereby achieving effective spatial separation. MOF / COF hybrid materials combine the characteristics and advantages of both, and compared with MOF / COF composites linked by weak interactions, covalently linked composites offer much higher stability and superior photocatalytic performance.

[0004] Here, a novel core-shell structured MOF525 / TpAQ-COFⅡ heterojunction photocatalyst was synthesized in situ using a covalent bridging method. A Zr-MOF framework, characterized by its light-gathering ability, large specific surface area, high thermal stability, and chemical stability, was selected. MOF525 served as the core of the photocatalyst, while AQ units with strong electron-withdrawing groups were connected to Tp units via imine bonds, forming a donor-acceptor (DA) type structure, TpAQ-COF, which served as the shell. The prepared MOF / COF composite material exhibited excellent photocatalytic performance, high stability, and visible light harvesting ability. This study also characterized MT-2 and preliminarily explored the charge transfer mechanism of the MT-2Ⅱ heterojunction. Furthermore, the removal rate of RhB by MT-2 was investigated. Therefore, this work provides valuable reference for the design and construction of efficient and stable MOF / COF heterojunction systems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This study synthesized a MOF525 / TpAQ-COFⅡ heterojunction photocatalyst in situ using a covalent bridging method. A chemically bonded interface was formed between the MOF525 core and the TpAQ-COF shell, which significantly improved the efficiency of photogenerated carrier transport across the interface and endowed the heterojunction with extremely high structural stability. The high interfacial charge transport efficiency and excellent stability enabled the efficient degradation of RhB. The specific synthesis steps are as follows:

The mixture was transferred to a 50 mL autoclave and heated at 120 °C for 72 h. The filtered solid product was washed three times successively with N,N-dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, and ethanol to obtain TpAQ-COF.

[0010] (3) MOF525 / TpAQ-COF composite photocatalyst

[0011] MOF 525 (50.0 mg), AQ (0.45 mmol, 107 mg), 2-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylureonium hexafluorophosphate (HATU, 100 mg), and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA, 60 μL) were dispersed in anhydrous DMF and subjected to sonication for 4 h.
