Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photocatalytic materials and environmental energy catalysis technology, specifically to a UIO-66-NH2 / indium sulfide composite photocatalytic material and its preparation method, as well as its application in photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide production. Background Technology

[0002] Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), commonly known as hydrogen peroxide solution, is an important inorganic compound. Its significance is broadly reflected in various fields such as industry, medicine, environmental protection, and aerospace, stemming from its unique chemical properties—an unstable strong oxidizing agent that decomposes into water and oxygen, leaving no harmful residues. Hydrogen peroxide is a key chemical raw material and bleaching agent in industrial production processes. A 3% hydrogen peroxide solution is a common medical disinfectant and can also be used in household applications such as laundry and daily care. High concentrations of hydrogen peroxide are important cleaning and etching agents in high-precision manufacturing. Furthermore, hydrogen peroxide can serve as a core reagent in advanced oxidation processes, achieving the goals of purifying water and improving air quality through the efficient degradation of pollutants. As a "clean" chemical product that only produces water and oxygen after a reaction, it not only drives the development of various industries but also aligns with today's green and sustainable development concepts, and its importance will continue to stand out.

[0003] Hydrogen peroxide synthesis methods have evolved from the traditional industrial anthraquinone process to include direct hydrogen-oxygen synthesis and electrochemical methods. Compared to the high energy consumption and risks associated with these processes, photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide production is an emerging technology that uses light energy to drive a chemical reaction to synthesize hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). Its core advantages lie in its green and sustainable nature and its potential for in-situ applications, providing a highly attractive alternative to traditional synthesis methods. However, most reported photocatalysts still suffer from narrow light absorption ranges, low absorption utilization rates, and rapid recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes, resulting in low efficiency in hydrogen peroxide production that fails to meet the requirements for industrial application, thus limiting the industrial use of photocatalysis. Therefore, exploring novel and highly efficient photocatalysts has been a continuous research hotspot in this field. Recent research on photocatalyst materials mainly includes graphitic carbon nitride, metal oxides, metal sulfides, and organic frameworks.

[0004] Indium sulfide (ILS) is a semiconductor material with a narrow band gap (approximately 2.0-2.3 eV), good visible light absorption, and high electron mobility, thus possessing potential applications in photocatalysis. However, the high recombination rate of photogenerated carriers and insufficient surface active sites of ILS limit its widespread application in the photocatalytic production of hydrogen peroxide.

[0005] Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of porous crystalline materials composed of metal ions or metal clusters and organic ligands, possessing advantages such as high specific surface area, tunable pore structure, and abundant functional groups. Among them, UIO-66-NH2 has attracted widespread attention in the fields of photocatalysis and adsorption due to its excellent chemical stability, high specific surface area, and amino-functionalized structure. The high specific surface area, porous structure, and oxygen-adsorption-friendly structural characteristics of UIO-66-NH2 can mitigate the shortcomings of indium sulfide itself. The combination of the two is beneficial for improving the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers, enhancing oxygen adsorption capacity, and improving photocatalytic activity. Summary of the Invention

[0045] Example 4: A UIO-66-NH2 supported indium sulfide photocatalyst for photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide production. The synthesis of this photocatalyst includes the following steps:

[0046] 1) Zirconium tetrachloride, 2-aminoterephthalic acid and acetic acid in a molar ratio of 1:1:200 were dissolved in DMF solution, and after ultrasonic treatment for 20 min, the solution was magnetically stirred at 800 r / min for 2 h to obtain a homogeneous solution.

[0049] The materials prepared above were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and field emission electron microscopy (TEM). Figure 1 It can be seen that the synthesized composite material exhibits a core-shell monomer structure in which indium sulfide encapsulates the octahedral UIO-66-NH2.

[0050] Figure 2 This is the EDS elemental distribution diagram of the catalyst. The uniform distribution of elements such as Zr, C, N, and O indicates the successful synthesis of UIO-66-NH2. In addition, the distribution of In and S elements is concentrated on the periphery, which is strong evidence of the formation of the core-shell structure.

[0051] The materials prepared above were characterized by XPS analysis. Figure 3 The XPS full spectrum of a shows that UIO-66-NH2-supported indium sulfide contains elements such as Zr, C, N, O, In, and S. The binding energy peaks of C 1s, N 1s, O 1s, Zr 3d, In 3d, and S 2p are 285.16 eV, 400.70 eV, 532.11 eV, 183.42 eV, 444.96 eV, and 161.80 eV, respectively. Figure 3 The high-resolution spectrum of Zr3d b shows two peaks at 182.56 eV and 184.92 eV, corresponding to Zr3d 5 / 2 and Zr 3d 3 / 2 The binding energy of the composite material is shifted towards lower binding energy compared to single UIO-66-NH2. Figure 3 The peaks at 288.67 eV, 286.22 eV, and 284.8 eV in the high-resolution C 1s spectrum of c represent the three coordination environments of OC=O, CN, and CC, respectively, indicating that the recombination process did not change its coordination environment. Figure 3 In 3d appears in the high-resolution spectrum of In 3d. 5 / 2 (444.47 eV) and In 3d 3 / 2 The two peaks (452.16 eV) indicate that In exists in the form of In. 3+ For indium sulfide alone, the binding energy of In also shifts towards lower binding energy after compositing. Figure 3 In the high-resolution N 1s spectrum of e, the binding energy of the material after recombination shifts to a higher region; the above results indicate that at the heterojunction interface of UIO-66-NH2-loaded indium sulfide, an electron redistribution occurs, with the amino group acting as an electron donor and the starting point of electron transfer, and Zr-O acting as an electron buffer; finally, electrons converge at In2S3, leading to a decrease in the In peak position.

[0052] The prepared materials were characterized using solid-state ultraviolet diffuse reflectance analysis, based on... Figure 4 The results showed that the light absorption edge of the material was in the range of 600-700 nm.

[0053] Example 5: A UIO-66-NH2 supported indium sulfide photocatalyst for photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide production. The synthesis of this photocatalyst includes the following steps:

[0054] 1) Zirconium tetrachloride, 2-aminoterephthalic acid and acetic acid in a molar ratio of 1:1:200 were dissolved in DMF solution, and after ultrasonic treatment for 20 min, the solution was magnetically stirred at 800 r / min for 2 h to obtain a homogeneous solution.

[0055] 2) Transfer the mixture from step 1) to a polytetrafluoroethylene hydrothermal reactor for hydrothermal reaction. After cooling to room temperature, centrifuge and wash to obtain pale yellow UIO-66-NH2. The hydrothermal reaction temperature is 110-120 ℃ and the hydrothermal reaction time is 23-25 ​​h.

[0056] 3) Dissolve the UIO-66-NH2 obtained in step 2) in a mixed solution of glycerol and water at a mass ratio of 1:1 to UIO-66-NH2 and indium sulfide. Then add InCl3·4H2O and thioacetamide. Stir at 1200 r / min for 20 min and transfer to a high-pressure hydrothermal reactor for the second hydrothermal reaction. Cool to room temperature, wash and dry to obtain an orange-yellow powder, which is the UIO-66-NH2-supported indium sulfide photocatalyst. The hydrothermal reaction temperature is 170-180 ℃ and the hydrothermal reaction time is 23-25 ​​h.

[0057] Ten mg of the catalysts prepared in Examples 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 were ultrasonically dispersed in a photocatalytic tube containing 50 mL of pure water. Before the experiment, the tube was continuously stirred for 30 min in the dark with bubbling of oxygen to achieve adsorption equilibrium between the reactants. The photocatalytic tube was then placed on a stirring table and irradiated with a 300 W xenon lamp equipped with a 420 nm filter. A 1 mL sample was taken every 15 minutes for a total of 5 times. The concentration of H2O2 was determined using a combination of iodometric titration and ultraviolet spectrophotometry. First, the sampled solution was filtered through a 0.22 μm filter to remove residual catalyst. Then, 2 mL of 0.1 M KI solution and 50 μL of 0.01 M (NH4)2MoO4 solution were added to the treated solution. Under the catalytic action of the latter, hydrogen peroxide and iodide ions could generate an equal amount of elemental iodine. The concentration was measured at 350 nm using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer based on the colorimetric reaction. The absorbance value at a wavelength of nm is equivalent to the concentration of hydrogen peroxide on the standard curve.

[0058] Figure 5 The photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide production performance of UIO-66-NH2, indium sulfide, and UIO-66-NH2 supported on indium sulfide (10%, 20%, and 50%) in pure water was tested. The hydrogen peroxide yields of UIO-66-NH2 and indium sulfide were 1.48 μM and 2.57 μM, respectively, which were negligible. However, the hydrogen peroxide yield increased significantly after UIO-66-NH2 was supported on indium sulfide. With the increase of UIO-66-NH2 content, the hydrogen peroxide yield showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, reaching a maximum of 202.67 μM at a mass ratio of 20%. The above results indicate that the heterojunction formed by UIO-66-NH2 supported on indium sulfide can broaden the light absorption range, promote the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes, and has excellent photocatalytic performance.

[0059] Example 6: A photocatalyst for photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide production using UIO-66-NH2 supported indium sulfide, specifically using UIO-66-NH2 supported indium sulfide as the catalyst and a xenon lamp as the light source, involves a photocatalytic reaction in pure water, including the following steps:

[0060] Three 10 mg portions of UIO-66-NH2-supported indium sulfide (20%) were weighed and ultrasonically dispersed in photocatalytic tubes containing 50 mL of ultrapure water, respectively. Three different environmental atmospheres were created for these three photocatalytic tubes: the first tube was directly exposed to air without any gas treatment; the second tube was purged with oxygen; and the third tube was purged with nitrogen. All three photocatalytic tubes were stirred in the dark for 30 min until gas adsorption equilibrium was reached. Then, the light source was turned on, and the tubes were irradiated for 1 h under simulated natural light emitted by a xenon lamp equipped with a 420 nm filter to complete the photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide production reaction. The sample solution was filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane to remove residual catalyst. Then, 2 mL of 0.1 M KI solution and 50 μL of 0.01 M (NH4)2MoO4 solution were added to the treated solution. The absorbance value at 350 nm was measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and this value is equivalent to the hydrogen peroxide concentration on the standard curve.

[0061] Figure 6 The figure shows the hydrogen peroxide yield of the UIO-66-NH2-supported indium sulfide described in this invention under different atmospheric conditions. As shown in the figure, negligible hydrogen peroxide yield was observed under nitrogen atmosphere. The yields of hydrogen peroxide under air and oxygen atmospheres were 551.89 μmol / g / h and 1013.35 μmol / g / h, respectively, demonstrating the importance of oxygen in the photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide production of the catalyst material.
