[0002] With the continuous depletion of global energy, environmental pollution has become one of the most serious global problems facing humanity. Nuclear fusion, as a green and sustainable energy source, is considered one of the key new energy sources for solving the energy dilemma for human survival and development. However, the risk of radioactive pollution associated with nuclear energy cannot be ignored, as it may lead to damage to organisms and genetic mutations in offspring. Iodine, a common radioactive pollutant in nuclear power plants, has a long half-life and a significant impact on humans; therefore, the adsorption and sequestration of radioactive iodine is of great importance. In the past few decades, activated carbon, metallic hydrotalcite, and MOFs have been mainly used for iodine adsorption. In recent years, with continuous exploration in materials research, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are now widely used in the field of iodine adsorption due to their diverse structures, tunable band gaps, large specific surface areas, and strong advantages in the optoelectronic field.

It can be synthesized by referring to the method reported in the literature Yin C , Ye X , Tao S , et al. Helicene Covalent Organic Frameworks for Robust Light Harvesting and Efficient Energy Transfers[J].AngewandteChemie,2024,136(45):e202411558-e202411558.DOI:10.1002 / ANGE.202411558. Unless otherwise specified, other raw material compounds such as TPDA were purchased from the market.
[0034] Example
[0035] This embodiment provides a covalent organic framework material containing helical monomers, and its preparation method is as follows:
[0036] S1. Add [6]-Helicene-OMe (13.3 mg, 0.03 mmol) and TPDA (15 mg, 0.015 mmol) to a 10 mL Pyrex tube, add o-dichlorobenzene (0.2 mL) and n-butanol (0.2 mL), sonicate at 30 kHz and 25 °C for 30 min, then add 0.2 mol / L trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution (40 μL), and quickly freeze in liquid nitrogen to obtain a mixed solution;
[0037] S2. After degassing through three cycles of freezing-pumping-thawing, the Pyrex tube was sealed, and the mixture was cooled to room temperature. Then, it was heated in an oven at 120°C for 72 h to crystallize. The reaction product was extracted with anhydrous tetrahydrofuran. The extracted product was vacuum dried at 120°C to obtain a covalent organic framework material containing [6]-Helicene-OMe, denoted as [6]-Helicene-OMe-TPDA-COF.
[0038] The chemical structural formula of [6]-Helicene-OMe is as follows:
[0039] The chemical structural formula of TPDA is: ;
[0040] The general chemical structural formula of [6]-Helicene-OMe-TPDA-COF is:
[0041] .
[0042] The covalent organic framework materials of the examples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, and the results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the vertical axis represents intensity, and the horizontal axis represents the angle between the incident X-ray beam and the diffraction detector; from Figure 1 As can be seen from this embodiment, the covalent organic framework material [6]-Helicene-OMe-TPDA-COF was successfully synthesized.
[0043] The raw materials [6]-Helicene-OMe, TPDA, and [6]-Helicene-OMe-TPDA-COF prepared in the examples were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The comparison results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the vertical axis represents transmittance, and the horizontal axis represents wavenumber; from Figure 2 As can be seen from the data, [6]-Helicene-OMe-TPDA-COF does not have stretching vibration peaks of C=O and -NH-, but has a stretching vibration peak of -C=N- at 1610 nm; this indicates that the [6]-Helicene-OMe-TPDA-COF covalent organic framework material has formed imine bonds.
[0044] The porosity of the covalent organic framework (COF) materials in the examples was analyzed by N2 adsorption-desorption tests at 77 K. The specific adsorption curves are shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the vertical axis represents the amount of N2 adsorbed, and the horizontal axis represents the relative pressure; according to IUPAC classification, Figure 3 The curve shows a typical Type I isotherm, and the specific surface area of [6]-Helicene-OMe-TPDA-COF is 38 m² calculated by the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) equation. 2 g -1 .
[0045] The covalent organic framework materials of the examples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown; from Figure 4 It can be clearly observed that [6]-Helicene-OMe-TPDA-COF has a uniformly sized, sheet-like morphology that is aggregated together; the covalent organic framework material of the examples was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and the results are as follows. Figure 5 As shown; from Figure 5 The well-organized lattice fringes are clearly visible. This is precisely because the covalent organic framework material of this embodiment exhibits excellent crystallinity and microporous channels.
[0046] Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was performed on the raw material [6]-Helicene-OMe and the covalent organic framework material of the examples. The sample preparation method for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was as follows: 5 mg of the ground test sample was added to a 10 mL glass bottle, 1 mL of anhydrous ethanol was added, and the sample was sonicated. Then, 50 μL of 5% Nafion reagent was added and sonicated again until the sample was completely dispersed to obtain a solution. A 6 mm diameter hole was drilled in the transparent tape and attached to the ITO conductive glass. The sonicated solution was dropped onto the ITO conductive glass with a pipette and dried. The sample preparation was completed. Sodium sulfate solution was used as the electrolyte, and the starting voltage was -0.5 V. The corresponding tests were performed. The test results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown; from Figure 6 It can be clearly observed that the covalent organic framework material of this embodiment has a smaller electrochemical impedance radius than the [6]-Helicene-OMe of the raw material, indicating that the covalent organic framework material of this embodiment has a smaller electrochemical impedance, a greater charge transport capacity, and is easier to react chemically than the [6]-Helicene-OMe monomer of the raw material.
[0047] Iodine adsorption test was performed on [6]-Helicene-OMe-TPDA-COF of Example 6. The specific method was as follows: 10 mg of [6]-Helicene-OMe-TPDA-COF and excess iodine were placed into two 5 mL airtight bottles, respectively. Then, the two 5 mL airtight bottles were placed into a 50 mL airtight bottle. The 50 mL airtight bottle was then sealed and transferred to a 75°C oven. The COF was removed and weighed periodically. The iodine absorption capacity of the COF was measured by calculating the weight change of the COF before and after iodine adsorption, and an adsorption curve was plotted accordingly. The adsorption curve is shown below. Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 It can be seen that after 100 h, the mass of iodine adsorbed per gram of COF is 4.33 g.
[0048] The desorption performance of the iodine-loaded COF after the iodine adsorption test of [6]-Helicene-OMe-TPDA-COF in the aforementioned embodiment was tested. The specific method is as follows:
[0049] I. Establishing a Standard Curve: Based on the known concentrations of iodine in methanol solution (0.002 mg / L, 0.004 mg / L, 0.006 mg / L, 0.008 mg / L, 0.012 mg / L, 0.016 mg / L, 0.024 mg / L), UV absorption peaks at different concentrations were obtained through UV testing. The intensities of these UV absorption peaks were plotted and fitted to create a standard curve, as shown below. Figure 8As shown, the standard equation is: Y = 11.86842X + 0.01339, R 2 = 0.98977.
[0050] 2. Place 0.1 mg of iodine-loaded COF into a cuvette, then add 3 mL of methanol solution to immerse the iodine-loaded COF in methanol. Analyze the methanol solution of the iodine-loaded COF every three minutes using a UV spectrophotometer. The results are as follows: Figure 9 As shown; from Figure 9 It can be concluded that approximately 40% desorption occurs within one hour.
