Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of functional materials technology, and relates to photocatalytic materials, specifically to an N-doped K-TiO2 photocatalytic material derived from NH2-MIL-125(Ti) and its preparation method and application. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of the pharmaceutical and aquaculture industries, antibiotics have been produced and used in large quantities. However, due to their incomplete biological metabolism and the limitations of traditional water treatment processes, a large amount of incompletely degraded antibiotics enters the water cycle system, causing persistent pollution. Even at low concentrations, these pollutants can induce microorganisms to produce resistance genes, posing a potential and long-term threat to the ecological environment and human health. Therefore, developing technologies for the efficient and deep degradation of antibiotic wastewater has become a critical issue that urgently needs to be addressed.
[0003] To address this issue, developing efficient, green, and low-cost antibiotic wastewater treatment technologies has become a research hotspot. Among numerous advanced oxidation technologies, photocatalysis is considered one of the most promising water treatment technologies due to its advantages such as direct utilization of solar energy, mild reaction conditions, no secondary pollution, and thorough mineralization of organic pollutants. Among various photocatalysts, titanium dioxide (TiO2) has become the earliest researched and most widely used semiconductor material in the field of photocatalysis due to its high chemical stability, non-toxicity, low cost, and high photocatalytic activity. However, titanium dioxide also has disadvantages such as a wide band gap and a fast recombination rate of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Elemental doping in TiO2 can suppress the recombination of photogenerated carriers, thereby improving photocatalytic efficiency.
[0004] AJLMelo et al. prepared Nd-doped TiO2 nanofiber photocatalysts using electrospinning. By doping with rare earth elements, the specific surface area of the material was significantly increased, reducing electron-hole recombination and extending the absorption range of TiO2 into the visible light spectrum. The degradation rate of norfloxacin under sunlight reached 99.54%, and the photocatalytic performance remained stable after five cycles of solar irradiation. However, the preparation method is complex and costly, hindering industrial-scale production (Materials Today Communications, 2025, 113946). Hailu Ashebir et al. synthesized N-doped TiO2 / BC nanocomposite materials via a sol-gel method, forming highly crystalline anatase TiO2, which shortened the band gap. In the laboratory, the degradation rate of pharmaceutical wastewater was 85.2%, but the utilization rate of visible light was low, hindering large-scale applications (Materials Science and Engineering: B, 2025, 323: 118735). Wang et al. prepared N-doped TiO2 molecularly imprinted composite materials via a sol-gel method, whose vacancy effect increased selective adsorption capacity compared to non-imprinted materials. This synergistic mechanism of adsorption and photocatalysis significantly improved the efficiency of electron-hole pair separation. Nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide enhanced visible light responsiveness through the hybridization of N2p and O2p orbitals, effectively narrowing the band gap and promoting the excitation of electron-hole pairs in the photocatalytic reaction, thereby improving the photocatalytic performance of the catalyst and providing insights for the future development of targeted photocatalytic applications. However, the material has a small specific surface area, which is not conducive to providing a large number of active sites (Chemical Physics Letters, 2025, 876: 142239). Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide an N-doped K-TiO2 photocatalytic material derived from NH2-MIL-125(Ti), its preparation method, and its application. This material has a large specific surface area, high photocatalytic activity, good chemical stability, and a simple and low-cost preparation method.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution: A method for preparing an N-doped K-TiO2 photocatalytic material derived from NH2-MIL-125(Ti) includes the following steps: S1. Add 2-aminoterephthalic acid to a mixed solvent of N,N-dimethylformamide and methanol, and stir until clear to obtain a solution with a concentration of 0.01~0.2 mol / L. Add tetrabutyl titanate to the above solution and stir continuously until dissolved, so that the concentration of tetrabutyl titanate in the solution is 0.01~0.1 mol / L. Transfer the solution to the lining of the reaction vessel and place it in an oven to react at 100~190℃ for 8~30 h. After the reaction is completed, centrifuge to collect the product, and vacuum dry to obtain NH2-MIL-125(Ti). S2. According to the mass ratio of NH2-MIL-125(Ti) to melamine (0.1~1):1, NH2-MIL-125(Ti) and melamine are mixed evenly by wet grinding. After the sample is naturally dried, it is calcined in a muffle furnace at 350~600℃ for 1~4 h in air atmosphere to finally obtain N-doped K-TiO2 photocatalytic material.
[0007] The present invention also has the following technical features: Preferably, the ratio of N,N-dimethylformamide to methanol in the mixed solvent of N,N-dimethylformamide and methanol in step one is 6:1.
[0008] Preferably, the continuous stirring time in step one is 30 to 50 minutes.
[0009] Preferably, the vacuum drying in step one is [2] drying in a vacuum drying oven at 50~150℃ for 5~24h.
[0010] Preferably, the wet grinding in step two involves adding ethanol to an agate mortar until it is slightly fluid and grinding for 10-30 minutes.
[0011] Preferably, the heating rate of the muffle furnace during the calcination process in step two is 1~8 ℃ / min.
[0012] This invention also protects a method for preparing NH4+ using the method described above. 2- MIL-125(Ti)-derived N-doped K-TiO2 photocatalytic materials and their application in photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects: The preparation method of this invention first prepares NH2-MIL-125(Ti) via a solvothermal method. Melamine is then used as the nitrogen source and pore-forming agent, and the mixture is wet-milled, ground, and calcined with NH2-MIL-125(Ti) to prepare a layered N-doped K-TiO2 with a rich porous structure. The product structure exhibits a layered structure composed of coarse particles. The large specific surface area and high porosity significantly enhance the photocatalytic active sites of the material. The N-doped K-TiO2 shortens the band gap, increases the utilization rate of visible light, and has higher carrier separation efficiency, exhibiting high photocatalytic activity, high chemical stability, and excellent antibiotic degradation ability. The degradation rate of a 20 mg / L ciprofloxacin solution reaches 96.09% within one hour. The preparation process of this invention is simple, controllable, and low in cost.
