AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies struggle to efficiently degrade perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). Due to the high bond energy and stability of the CF bond, traditional methods are difficult to effectively activate and break it, leading to the accumulation of PFOA in the environment. Existing Pd catalysts suffer from low atom utilization and active site poisoning.
By preparing a supported boron-doped palladium oxide cluster material (CN/BPdc), using carbon nitride as a support, boron atoms are doped to regulate the electronic and geometric structures of palladium atoms, forming an oxidized Pd cluster, which is then combined with H2O2 to catalyze the oxidation and degradation of PFOA.
This method achieves efficient catalytic H2O2 oxidation degradation of PFOA at room temperature and pressure, improving PFOA degradation efficiency, reducing processing energy consumption, and maintaining catalyst stability and activity.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of water treatment technology, specifically relating to a supported boron-doped titanium dioxide palladium cluster material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] The carbon-fluorine (CF) bonds in perfluorinated and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) compounds have high bond energies, making them difficult to degrade naturally and causing them to accumulate in the environment, thus becoming typical persistent new pollutants. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA, C7F) is an example. 15 PFOA (phosphoaminobutyric acid) is a representative PFAS with relatively high concentrations in the environment. It is highly biotoxic, has been classified as a Group 1 carcinogen, and poses multi-scale environmental risks. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop materials and remediation technologies that can efficiently degrade PFOA to effectively solve the PFOA pollution problem.
[0003] The strong electronegativity (3.98) and small atomic radius (0.65 Å) of the F atom result in extremely short (1.35 Å) and extremely high (>485 kJ / mol) CF bonds in PFOA. This leads to excellent heat resistance in PFOA (decomposition temperature >400 °C). o C) PFOA exhibits resistance to acids and alkalis, photolysis, and microbial degradation, making it difficult for traditional chemical redox and biochemical treatments to effectively remove it. The activation and cleavage of the CF bond are crucial for the effective degradation of PFOA. Existing research attempts to attack the CF bond with reactive oxygen species (such as free radicals, singlet oxygen, and high-valence metal oxides) generated by Fenton / Fenton-like technologies. However, even the hydroxyl radical •OH (2.8 V vs NHE), with the strongest oxidation potential, struggles to effectively cleave the CF bond, resulting in limited degradation efficiency for PFOA using this type of technology. Overcoming the challenge of efficiently activating the CF bond is the core bottleneck currently facing this technology.
[0004] Pd atoms exhibit excellent performance in adsorbing and activating carbon-halogen (CX) bonds. According to existing theories, Pd can adsorb and activate CX bonds in halogenated organic compounds, forming C-Pd-X intermediates, thereby achieving dehalogenation reactions. Based on this, Pd-based catalysts are expected to promote the oxidative degradation of PFOA by •OH, achieving efficient removal of PFOA from water. However, currently used Pd nanoparticle (Pd NPs) catalysts in environmental remediation involve only surface atoms in the reaction. This results in low atom utilization, and the strong adsorption of F atoms by Pd atoms easily leads to the catalyst surface being covered by a large number of CF bonds, causing active site poisoning and further reducing its activity and atom utilization. Although Pd single-atom catalysts (SACs) can significantly improve atom utilization and regulate catalytic oxidation performance through coordination with the support, their single adsorption site may limit their adsorption capacity for CF bonds in PFOA and cause adsorption configuration changes (e.g., from adsorbing CF bonds to adsorbing carboxyl groups), preventing Pd atoms from effectively activating CF bonds and limiting their mass transfer and catalytic processes. In contrast, sub-nanometer Pd atom clusters are expected to achieve a balance between atom utilization, mass transfer performance and catalytic activity. By controlling the number and spatial arrangement of Pd atoms in the atom clusters, the adsorption and mass transfer process of PFOA with its special molecular structure can be optimized.
[0005] The electronic structure of Pd catalysts significantly affects their ability to activate CF bonds. For example, reduced PdNPs can catalyze the reduction of CF bonds in PFOA by atomic hydrogen, but the reaction is very slow; oxidized Pd-based catalysts can catalyze the generation of •OH from H₂O₂, and through ligand exchange and substitution reactions, react with CF bonds to rapidly generate hydroxylated or acetoxylated products. Given that PFOA has a pKa value of approximately 0, it readily dissociates in water into carboxyl anions (C₇F₂). 15 COO - Oxidized Pd atoms can also adsorb carboxyl groups from PFOA, forming C7F through catalytic decarboxylation. 15 - Free radicals. C7F formed after decarboxylation. 15 - The CF bonds on the carbon chain are more easily exposed, which facilitates the further adsorption and activation of CF bonds by the Pd catalyst, thereby catalyzing the hydroxylation substitution defluorination reaction. Therefore, we believe that oxidized Pd clusters with specific geometric and electronic structures have the potential to simultaneously optimize the mass transfer processes such as adsorption / activation / desorption with PFOA, and catalyze the coupled reactions of decarboxylation and hydroxylation substitution defluorination, thus achieving efficient oxidative degradation of PFOA. Constructing a degradation system based on oxidized Pd clusters / H2O2 is a feasible new pathway for efficient PFOA removal, and how to design and prepare oxidized Pd cluster catalysts with specific geometric and electronic structures is an important prerequisite for realizing this approach.
[0006] Carbon nitride (Cnitride) has a relatively fixed coordination structure and a large number of multi-scale coordination sites, making it a suitable support for the synthesis of geometrically controllable Pd cluster catalysts. Theoretically, doping Pd clusters with non-metallic elements (such as B) with different electronic properties can regulate the electronic structure of the Pd clusters, including the d-band centers and electronic states, thereby optimizing their adsorption / desorption performance and catalytic oxidation activity for reactants / intermediates. Based on this, we hypothesize that introducing B atoms into Pd clusters can induce charge distribution polarization within the cluster, causing electrons to shift from Pd atoms to B atoms, thus reducing the electron density of the Pd active center and increasing its oxidation state. Furthermore, B atoms may further influence the geometry and local coordination microenvironment of the Pd cluster through short-range coordination (e.g., increasing the interatomic distance of Pd atoms), thereby facilitating the synergistic adsorption and activation of carboxyl groups and CF bonds in PFOA molecules by different active sites, ultimately enhancing their catalytic oxidation activity.

[0038] Figure 2 The image shows the CN / BPd prepared in Example 1. c Scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the material, with a scale bar of 20 μm. CN / BPd is clearly visible in the image. c They exhibit a uniform tubular structure with a diameter of approximately 2-3 μm. Figure 3 The image shown is a dark-field transmission electron microscope (TEM) image of a local region of the same material, with a scale bar of 200 nm. Only local morphology of the support is observed in this image; no obvious bright spots are seen, indicating that no Pd nanoparticles with a distinct crystalline structure have formed in the material.

Figure 7 for Figure 3 CN / BPd shown c The distribution of B element after energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) of the material. Figures 4-7 The results show that the CN / BPd prepared in Example 1 c The main constituent elements of the support in the material are nitrogen and carbon, forming a carbon nitride support, while B and Pd elements are uniformly loaded on the support, confirming the successful synthesis of B-doped Pd atom cluster material.
[0039] Figure 8 The image shows the CN / BPd prepared in Example 1. c Aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope image of the material. The scale bar shown in the image is 5 nm. Figure 8The image shows Pd particles with a diameter of approximately 2 nm uniformly loaded on a carbon nitride support. The atoms inside these particles are arranged irregularly, and no lattice fringes were observed, indicating that they are amorphous Pd atom cluster structures.
[0040] like Figure 9 The image shows a carbon nitride support (CN) and an undoped boron-supported Pd cluster (CN / Pd). c ) and CN / BPd c The X-ray diffraction pattern. CN is a material prepared by mixing and reacting the melamine solution prepared in step S3 of Example 1 with the cyanuric acid solution obtained in step S4 of Example 1 for 4 hours, followed by the treatment process of standing-filtering-drying-calcining for 4 hours in step S5 of Example 1; CN / Pd c The material was prepared by first mixing the Pd-acetic acid ligand solution obtained in step S1 of Example 1 with the melamine solution obtained in step S3 of Example 1 for 0.5 h, then mixing it with the cyanuric acid solution obtained in step S4 of Example 1 and reacting for 4 h, followed by the treatment process of standing, filtering, drying, and calcining for 4 h in step S5 of Example 1. Figure 9 It can be seen that diffraction peaks for carbon nitride appeared in all three materials, but no diffraction peaks corresponding to Pd nanocrystals were detected in either of the two materials with supported Pd atom clusters. Figure 8 Observations show that the prepared supported Pd cluster material mainly exists in the form of amorphous Pd clusters, and B doping does not change its basic morphology.
[0041] like Figure 10 The image shows elemental B, a commercially available h-BN standard, and CN / BPd. c XANES spectrum of element B in the material. Figure 10 It can be seen that CN / BPd c The absence of a characteristic peak at 194.2 eV for the boron (B) atoms in the material indicates that the B atoms are not coordinated with the nitrogen (N) atoms in the carbon nitride support, but are directly doped into the Pd atom clusters and directly coordinated with the Pd atoms. Additionally, CN / BPd... c The B atom in the material elutes at 190.6 eV, which is a negative shift compared to the B atom in elemental B. This indicates that the B atom gains electrons from the Pd atom, resulting in an increase in its own electron density and a decrease in its valence state. This, in turn, induces a decrease in the electron density of the Pd atom and an increase in its valence state.
[0042] like Figure 11 The figure shows CN / Pd c and CN / BPd c A comparison diagram of the oxidation states of Pd atoms in the material. Among them, CN / Pd... cThe material is prepared by first mixing the Pd-acetic acid ligand solution obtained in step S1 of Example 1 with the melamine solution obtained in step S3 of Example 1 for 0.5 h, then mixing it with the cyanuric acid solution obtained in step S4 of Example 1 for 4 h, and then undergoing the treatment process of standing-filtering-drying-calcining reaction for 4 h in step S5 of Example 1.

This together confirms that B doping effectively modulates the electronic structure of Pd atom clusters, increasing their overall oxidation state.
[0043] Application Example 1 Weigh out 20 mg of CN support, CN-supported Pd single atoms (CN / Pd1), and CN / Pd, respectively. c and the CN / BPd prepared in Example 1 c Materials. The CN carrier was prepared by mixing the melamine solution prepared in step S3 of Example 1 with the cyanuric acid solution obtained in step S4 of Example 1 and reacting for 4 h, followed by the process of standing, filtering, drying, and calcining for 4 h in step S5 of Example 1; the CN / Pd1 material was prepared by mixing potassium tetrachloropalladate solution with 20 mL of acetic acid for 0.5 h, then mixing with the melamine solution obtained in step S3 of Example 1 for 0.5 h, then mixing with the cyanuric acid solution obtained in step S4 of Example 1 and reacting for 4 h, followed by the process of standing, filtering, drying, and calcining for 4 h in step S5 of Example 1; CN / Pd cThe material is prepared by first mixing the Pd-acetic acid ligand solution obtained in step S1 of Example 1 with the melamine solution obtained in step S3 of Example 1 for 0.5 h, then mixing and reacting it with the cyanuric acid solution obtained in step S4 of Example 1 for 4 h, and then undergoing the treatment process of standing-filtering-drying-calcining for 4 h in step S5 of Example 1. CN / Pd1, CN / Pd c and CN / BPd c The Pd loading in all materials was 1%. The four materials were added to polyethylene plastic serum bottles containing 20 mL of ultrapure water and ultrasonically dispersed for 10 min. Subsequently, 0.07 mL of 30% H2O2 solution and 0.1 mL of 0.48 mmol / L PFOA stock solution were injected into each reaction bottle, resulting in an initial PFOA concentration of 2.4 μmol / L in the reaction system.
[0044] The serum vials were sealed with rubber caps lined with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and thoroughly mixed. They were then placed on a rotary incubator at a rotation speed of 40 rpm to begin the reaction. At each preset reaction time point, 100 μL of the reaction solution was drawn and diluted to 1 mL, then filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane. The 100 μL filtered solution was analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS / MS) to determine the residual PFOA content. The PFOA content versus time curves in different reaction systems are shown below. Figure 12 As shown in a. From Figure 12 As can be seen from 'a', CN-supported materials and CN / Pd1 materials cannot effectively catalyze the degradation of PFOA. c The material's removal efficiency for PFOA was only about 40%, while CN / BPd c The material exhibits a significant removal effect on PFOA, achieving a removal rate exceeding 95% within 24 hours. Kinetic fitting of the PFOA degradation results yielded the reaction rate constants for the PFOA degradation catalyzed by H₂O₂ oxidation of each catalyst material, such as… Figure 12 As shown in b, from Figure 12 As can be seen from b, the reaction rate of conventional supported palladium single-atom materials is only 0.001 h⁻¹. -1 It exhibits almost no reactivity. The reaction rate of the undoped Pd cluster catalyst is only 0.005 h⁻¹. -1 The CN / BPd prepared in Example 1 c The reaction rate of PFOA degradation catalyzed by the material using H2O2 was 0.12 h. -1 They are CN / Pd1 and CN / Pd respectively. cThe results show that the oxidized Pd atom clusters doped with B significantly enhance the performance of Pd active sites in catalytic degradation of PFOA, by 120 times and 24 times respectively. This clearly demonstrates that B-doped oxidized Pd atom clusters greatly improve the performance of Pd active sites in catalytic degradation of PFOA.
[0045] At each preset reaction time point, a 1 mL sample was taken from each reaction system and diluted to 10 mL. The diluted solution was then filtered and pretreated sequentially using a 0.22 μm filter membrane, a C18 filter column, and an NA filter column, followed by ion chromatography to detect the content of fluoride ions generated in the reaction system. The generation of fluoride ions in the solution is as follows: Figure 12 As shown in c, Pd single-atom catalysts and conventional undoped Pd cluster catalysts have almost no degradation and defluorination effect on PFOA, while CN / BPd catalysts... c The H2O catalytic reaction system achieved a PFOA degradation and defluorination rate of over 95%, indicating that after B doping, oxidized Pd atom clusters can be completely degraded and converted into PFOA.
[0046] After the reaction proceeded for 12 hours, from CN / BPd c A 100 μL sample of the H₂O₂ catalytic system was diluted to 1 mL and filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane. The 100 μL filtered solution was then subjected to qualitative analysis using time-of-flight mass spectrometry (Q-TOF-MS) to identify intermediate products generated during the oxidative degradation of PFOA. The results are as follows: Figure 12 As shown in d, as the reaction proceeds, decarboxylation and defluorination intermediates with decreasing carbon chain lengths are generated sequentially in the reaction system. This indicates that PFOA achieves complete oxidative degradation under ambient temperature and pressure conditions through a sequential decarboxylation-coupled hydroxylation-defluorination reaction process on the surface of B-doped oxidized Pd atom clusters. Figure 12 The diagram in Figure 'e' further clarifies the reaction pathway.
