Abstract
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 from industrial, transportation, and waste pollution have a deadly impact on the environment and human health. Furthermore, heavy metal ion incidents have led to numerous tragedies, such as the Fukushima nuclear wastewater discharge incident—this wastewater contained isotopes of heavy metal ions such as cesium, which will have long-term adverse effects on the Pacific waters along the coast of Fukushima Prefecture. 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.

[0019] The polyester polyol is an alcoholysis polyester polyol, such as an alcoholysis polyester polyol obtained by alcoholysis of waste PET.
[0020] The alcoholysis polyester polyol described above is prepared by alcoholysis of waste PET, including: mixing and reacting pretreated waste PET, ethylene glycol and zinc acetate of PET, then adding adipic acid for esterification and chain extension, taking a sample to measure the acid value, continuing the reaction, and obtaining alcoholysis polyester polyol after the reaction is completed.

[0033] Beneficial effects
[0034] This invention provides a polyoxime-urethane elastomer coordinated with heavy metal ions (HMIs) and used as a triboelectric nanogenerator. The difference in its output voltage signal value enables the detection of heavy metal ion contamination. 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 in which it is immersed, 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.
[0035] This invention introduces different heavy metal ions into polyoxime urethane 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.

[0041] Preparation of polyester polyols by alcoholysis: PET bottle flakes were washed three times with anhydrous ethanol and dried in a 60 ℃ forced-air oven for later use. When ready for use, waste PET bottle flakes, ethylene glycol, and 0.5 wt% PET zinc acetate were added to a three-necked flask and placed in an oil bath. The mixture was heated to 220 ℃, and the equipped mechanical stirrer and oil-sealed condenser were started. The reaction was carried out, and the hydroxyl value was measured. The temperature was then lowered to 170 ℃, and adipic acid was added at a molar ratio of n(ethylene glycol):n(adipic acid) = 1:0.65 for esterification and chain extension.
