Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of polymer materials, and specifically relates to a polyoxime ester containing heavy metal ions and its preparation and application. Background Technology

[0002] Heavy metal ions generated by industrial, transportation, and waste pollution have a fatal impact on the environment and human health. Therefore, in recent years, the reliable and rapid detection of heavy metal ions in liquid environments has received widespread attention.

[0003] Compared to complex instrument detection techniques such as infrared and Raman spectroscopy, and methods that rely on long-term cultivation of biological organisms like bacteria to detect specific heavy metal ions, material-based heavy metal ion adsorption and response signal detection technologies hold immense potential in overcoming limitations in convenience, efficiency, and lifespan. Among these, polymeric materials that exhibit specific interactions with heavy metal ions and possess responsive properties play an irreplaceable and crucial role in the detection of heavy metal ion pollution.

[0004] However, the application of most petroleum-based devices and materials contradicts the concept of sustainable development and environmental protection due to their non-degradable or non-recyclable characteristics, which is an urgent problem to be solved in the field of materials science. Therefore, designing new green, environmentally friendly, and sustainable heavy metal ion detection materials and devices has become an urgent challenge, and this challenge is closely related to the application of multifunctional response materials in the field of heavy metal ion detection.

[0005] Triboelectric nanogenerators, as a novel energy harvesting and sensing device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, show great potential in high-temperature environments because they do not require an external power source. Polymer-based triboelectric nanomaterials have simple fabrication processes and good output electrical performance stability, resulting in significant achievements in the field of triboelectric nanogenerator technology. Therefore, it is necessary to invent an information technology design to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This invention provides a metal ion-containing polyoxime urethane, wherein the metal ion-containing polyoxime urethane is a metal ion-coordinated polyoxime urethane, with the following structural formula: , Wherein R is a polyester polyol residue; and the HMIs are at least one of the heavy metal ions.

[0008] The R is: , The HMIs are at least one of cesium, copper, chromium, and nickel ions.

[0009] Furthermore, m=1, n=1, v=1.

[0010] The metal ion is 1-4% of the molar amount of the oxime group.

[0011] This invention provides a method for preparing a polyoxime urethane containing metal ions, comprising: Polyester polyol, solvent, and catalyst are mixed and then added to isocyanate for reaction. Oxime is then added for addition reaction, followed by the addition of metal salt solution and post-treatment to obtain polyoxime urethane containing metal ions.

[0012] The preferred embodiment of the above preparation method is as follows: The polyester polyol is ; The isocyanate is diphenylmethane diisocyanate; The oxime is dimethylglyoxime; The metal salt is one or more of cesium, copper, chromium, and nickel; The solvent includes N,N-dimethylformamide; The catalyst is dibutyltin dilaurate; The solvent for the metal salt solution includes N,N-dimethylformamide.

[0013] The catalyst is 0.1-0.5% of the total mass of the isocyanate monomer; the oxime is 2-4 times the molar amount of the polyester polyol; the metal salt is 1-4% of the molar amount of the oxime; and the isocyanate is 3-5 times the molar amount of the polyester polyol.

[0014] The preparation process includes: heating the polyester polyol and then evacuating it under vacuum; cooling it down and then adding solvent and catalyst to mix; then adding isocyanate dropwise and observing the viscosity change; adding solvent dropwise and reacting for 1-4 hours; then adding oxime solution for addition reaction; then adding metal salt solution for coordination reaction; the entire reaction is carried out under protective gas conditions; and finally, post-treatment is performed.

[0015] The process of heating up and then vacuuming is carried out for 0.5-3 hours after heating up to 115-125 ℃; the process of mixing is carried out by cooling down to 80-89 ℃ and magnetically stirring at 300-500 r / min for 10-20 minutes; the process of addition reaction is carried out at 58-65 ℃ for 18-25 hours. The post-treatment involves reacting at 58-65℃ for 12-24 h, followed by vacuum treatment at 78-85℃ for 24-48 h.

[0016] The post-processing is performed by importing the material into the mold.

[0017] The present invention provides a triboelectric material, wherein the triboelectric material contains any of the metal ion-containing polyoxime esters.

[0018] The present invention provides a triboelectric nanogenerator, which includes a positive triboelectric layer, a negative triboelectric layer, and a conductive layer; wherein the positive triboelectric layer contains any of the metal ion-containing polyoxime esters.

[0019] The positive electrode triboelectric layer is disposed between the negative electrode triboelectric layer and the conductive layer.

[0020] The negative electrode triboelectric layer material is a polydimethylsiloxane film; the conductive layer is a copper foil.

Under coordination, heavy metal ions accumulate on the polyoxime-urethane surface, increasing the potential difference between the heavy metal ion-polyoxime-urethane complex and polydimethylsiloxane, thereby generating a higher output voltage signal. This signal exhibits good matching with the various heavy metal ion solutions used for immersion, and can be used for voltage detection. This coordination system not only has unique applications in electrical engineering, but its complexation also enhances dynamic performance.

[0023] This invention introduces different heavy metal ions into polyoxourethane to obtain positive electrode triboelectric materials with significant differences in electrical signals. Then, using copper foil as the conductive layer and polydimethylsiloxane film as the negative electrode triboelectric material, the prepared triboelectric nanogenerators containing different heavy metal ions have different electrical output signal characteristics at room temperature, which can meet the needs of heavy metal ion pollution detection devices and equipment at room temperature.
