Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of photocatalytic energy conversion technology, specifically relating to a porous honeycomb CTF composite photocatalyst, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of renewable energy technology innovation, solar-driven water splitting for hydrogen production has become a cutting-edge research direction for alleviating the fossil energy crisis due to its zero-carbon emission characteristics. Since Fujishima and Honda discovered the photoelectric splitting of water using TiO2 electrodes in 1972, this field has undergone more than 50 years of development, and the research paradigm has expanded from simple light absorption to precise control of carrier lifetime. Currently, the construction of advanced photocatalytic systems focuses on three core elements: (1) the realization of a wide-range spectral response; (2) the synergistic improvement of quantum efficiency and energy conversion efficiency; and (3) the breakthrough of high operational stability. Through dimensional control strategies such as crystal orientation regulation, heterogeneous morphology engineering, and precise construction of defect states, efficient charge-directed migration channels are constructed to improve photocatalytic efficiency. In addition, in the field of organic catalytic conversion, taking the epoxidation reaction of styrene as an example, its product, epoxide, is not only an important precursor in the fragrance industry, but also plays an irreplaceable role in the synthesis of functional polymer materials. However, the peroxyacid oxidation system commonly used in traditional production processes has significant drawbacks: on the one hand, it requires reaction in a highly corrosive medium, and on the other hand, it generates a large amount of chlorine-containing byproducts. This "end-of-pipe treatment" model is no longer sufficient to meet the development needs of green chemistry. To address these issues, developing photocatalytic systems using molecular oxygen as a green oxidant for efficient epoxidation under mild conditions has become a key area of research in catalytic chemistry.
[0003] In the design of novel photocatalytic material systems, covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) have become an important research object in the field of solar energy conversion due to their advantages in topological designability and chemical stability. As the core building block of CTFs, triazine rings achieve precise construction of active sites at the molecular level thanks to their electron-rich properties and the synergistic effect of multiple heteroatoms. However, the intrinsic kinetics of CTFs, including high exciton binding energy, limited exciton diffusion length, and rapid bulk recombination effects, result in insufficient utilization of photogenerated carriers, severely restricting further improvement of their catalytic performance. Layered ternary metal sulfides ZnIn2S4 (ZIS) have attracted much attention due to their tunable electronic band structure and excellent photoresponse characteristics. However, single ZIS nanosheets are prone to self-aggregation during catalysis, leading to a decrease in active site density and a decline in cycle stability. Further research shows that the band structure of ZIS can be precisely controlled through intrinsic vacancy construction or heteroatom doping strategies, and the interband transition efficiency of semiconductor materials can be effectively enhanced through the synergistic shift optimization of the valence band and conduction band. Therefore, this invention proposes a function-oriented multi-scale structural design strategy: synthesizing a phenothiazine-functionalized three-dimensional honeycomb covalent triazine framework (CTF-PTZBN) using a solid-phase template-assisted method, and in situ growing sulfur-defect ZnIn2S4 nanosheets (ZIS-Sv) based on its interconnected macroporous framework, thus constructing a hierarchical porous heterostructure of "three-dimensional ordered macroporous network confining two-dimensional nanosheets". This ultimately achieves the goal of improving the photocatalytic water splitting activity for hydrogen production, and realizes high selectivity and high conversion rate of styrene epoxidation reaction. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a highly active and stable porous honeycomb CTF composite photocatalyst, its preparation method, and its application.
[0005] The porous honeycomb CTF composite photocatalyst provided by this invention is obtained by modifying sulfur-deficient ZnIn2S4 nanosheets (ZIS-Sv). The specific preparation steps are as follows: (1) Templated polymerization: Benzonitrile-functionalized phenothiazine monomer (PTZBN) is blended with terephthalonitrile in tetrahydrofuran solution, and silica microspheres are introduced as template agents. Under the catalysis of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, the monomer material undergoes a polymerization reaction around the silica spheres to form a monomer / template complex. (2) Framework construction: After neutralizing the product in step (1) with alkaline solution, the template is selectively removed by etching with ammonium bifluoride solution to form a macroporous framework structure, denoted as CTF-PTZBN; (3) In-situ solvothermal preparation of composite photocatalyst (constructing sulfur defects): The CTF-PTZBN obtained in step (2) is dispersed in a water / glycerol mixed solvent, and the corresponding zinc source, indium source and sulfur source are added to ensure that the sulfur source is in excess to construct sulfur defects; then the system is placed in a constant temperature magnetic stirring reactor and reacted for a period of time. After centrifugation, washing and drying, a light brown powder sample is finally obtained, which is the composite photocatalyst, denoted as ZIS-Sv / CTF-PTZBN.
[0006] Furthermore: In step (1), the amount of silica nanotemplate is 300-500 mg; the amount of terephthalonitrile is 100-150 mg; the amount of PTZBN is 10-20 mg; the amount of tetrahydrofuran is 10-30 mL; the polycondensation reaction temperature is 80-120 °C; and the reaction time is 20-30 h.
[0007] In step (2), the etching time of ammonium bifluoride solution is 20-30 h.
[0008] In step (3), the amount of CTF-PTZBN is 5-450 mg; the zinc source, indium source and sulfur source are zinc chloride, indium chloride and thioacetamide, respectively, and the molar ratio of the three is 1:(1.5-2.5):(4~8); the reaction temperature is 60-100 °C and the reaction time is 1-3 h.
[0009] Furthermore, the specific operation process of the preparation method of the sulfur-deficient ZnIn2S4 nanosheet-modified porous honeycomb CTF composite photocatalyst provided by the present invention is as follows: (1) First, porous honeycomb CTF-PTZBN is prepared. The specific process is as follows: 300-500 mg of vacuum-dried silica nanotemplate and monomer solution (containing 100-150 mg of terephthalonitrile, 10-20 mg of PTZBN and 10-30 mL of tetrahydrofuran) are dispersed by ultrasonication to form a uniform composite system. The solvent is removed to obtain monomer / template composite precursor. The precursor is subjected to acid-catalyzed polycondensation reaction at 80-120 °C for 20-30 h.
[0010] (2) After the reaction is completed, the product in step (1) is neutralized with alkali and then preliminarily separated by centrifugation and washing. Subsequently, the silica template is removed by selective etching with ammonium bifluoride solution for 20-30 h, and finally the product is washed and dried to obtain a dark yellow solid CTF-PTZBN.
[0011] (3) Take 5-450 mg of the CTF-PTZBN solid obtained in step (2) and disperse it in a water / glycerol mixed solvent. Then add zinc chloride, indium chloride and thioacetamide in the above mixture in a molar ratio of 1:(1.5-2.5):(4~8) to ensure that the sulfur source is in excess to construct sulfur defects. Place the system in a constant temperature magnetic stirring reactor at 60-100 °C and continue to react for 1-3 hours. After centrifugation, washing and drying, a light brown ZIS-Sv / CTF-PTZBN powder sample is finally obtained, which is the composite photocatalyst.
[0012] The present invention also provides a porous honeycomb CTF composite photocatalyst modified with sulfur-defect ZnIn2S4 nanosheets prepared by the above preparation method.
[0013] This invention also provides the application of sulfur-deficient ZnIn2S4 nanosheet-modified porous honeycomb CTF composite photocatalyst in water splitting for hydrogen production; the specific steps are as follows: (1) Configure the photocatalytic system by ultrasonically dispersing the porous honeycomb CTF composite photocatalyst modified with sulfur-deficient ZnIn2S4 nanosheets into an aqueous solution containing triethanolamine sacrificial agent to form a mixed solution, and placing it in a light-transmitting closed system. (2) Prepare green hydrogen by irradiating the sealed system obtained in step (1) with full-band light.
[0014] The specific operation process is as follows: A porous honeycomb CTF composite photocatalyst modified with sulfur-deficient ZnIn2S4 nanosheets is dispersed in an aqueous solution containing triethanolamine (TEOA) as a sacrificial agent to obtain a mixed reaction solution. This solution is then transferred to a light-transmitting sealed system, and the temperature is controlled at 15-25 °C using a circulating water cooling system. The mixed reaction solution is irradiated with a 300 W xenon lamp to produce hydrogen. The amount of hydrogen produced is measured using an online gas chromatograph, with gas samples extracted and analyzed every 60 minutes.
[0015] This invention also provides the application of a porous honeycomb CTF composite photocatalyst modified with sulfur-deficient ZnIn2S4 nanosheets in the selective epoxidation of styrene to prepare epoxide. The specific steps are as follows: (1) Configure the photocatalytic system by ultrasonically dispersing the porous honeycomb CTF composite photocatalyst modified with sulfur-deficient ZnIn2S4 nanosheets into N,N-dimethylacetamide solvent containing styrene (substrate) to form a mixed solution, and placing it in a light-transmitting closed system; (2) Prepare epoxide phenyl ethane from the sealed system obtained in step (1) by LED lamp irradiation.
[0016] The specific operation process is as follows: A porous honeycomb CTF composite photocatalyst modified with sulfur-deficient ZnIn2S4 nanosheets was ultrasonically dispersed in an N,N-dimethylacetamide solvent containing styrene (substrate) to form a mixed solution. The mixed solution was then sealed and transferred to a temperature-controlled high-throughput photocatalytic reactor. The mixed solution was irradiated with an LED at a wavelength of 375 nm, and the epoxidation reaction of styrene was carried out for 10 h at a controlled temperature of 80 °C. Subsequently, the reaction solution was filtered, and the yield and selectivity of epoxide were analyzed by gas chromatography.
[0017] The present invention also provides two photocatalytic systems: (1) a hydrogen production system: composed of a porous honeycomb CTF composite photocatalyst modified with sulfur-deficient ZnIn2S4 nanosheets obtained above and an aqueous solution containing triethanolamine (TEOA) sacrificial agent; (2) a styrene epoxidation system: composed of a porous honeycomb CTF composite photocatalyst modified with sulfur-deficient ZnIn2S4 nanosheets and an N,N-dimethylacetamide solvent containing styrene (substrate).
[0018] This invention benefits from the molecular anchoring effect of phenothiazine units in CTF-PTZBN, which induces the directional growth of ZIS-Sv. The interface CS-Zn / In bonds bridge this to form stable electron transport channels. Subsequently, an internal electric field, in conjunction with sulfur defect states, constructs a ternary carrier regulation system of "electric field-driven - channel transport - trap capture," achieving efficient separation and directional migration of photogenerated charges and successfully reducing recombination of photogenerated carriers. The exposed active sites in the multi-scale porous structure greatly promote the photocatalytic hydrogen production and photocatalytic styrene epoxidation reactions of the composite material; therefore, this binary composite material exhibits excellent redox capabilities.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following positive effects: (1) The catalyst has high selectivity for photocatalytic styrene epoxidation reaction, which is better than most of the photocatalytic styrene epoxidation processes reported in the current literature; at the same time, compared with simple CTF and ZnIn2S4 materials, the catalyst also has high photocatalytic hydrogen production activity.
[0020] (2) The catalyst has a special morphology. The CTF-PTZBN matrix exhibits a highly ordered macroporous framework structure, while the ZIS-Sv nanosheets are uniformly distributed inside and on the surface of the CTF framework through in-situ growth, providing more active sites for subsequent photocatalytic redox reactions.
[0021] (3) The catalyst has a novel compositional structure. The phenothiazine unit induces the directional growth of ZIS-Sv through molecular anchoring. The interface CS-Zn / In bond bridge forms a stable electron transport channel. It works in conjunction with the sulfur defect state to construct a ternary carrier regulation system of "electric field driven-channel transport-trap capture", realizing efficient separation and directional migration of photogenerated charges. It provides valuable reference for designing CTF-based or ZnIn2S4-based high-efficiency multifunctional composite photocatalysts. Attached Figure Description
