It can effectively degrade oils, fumes and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) under both light and no light conditions.

[0057] The photocatalytic principle of the photothermal catalyst of this invention is based on the photocatalytic component TiO2. When TiO2 is exposed to light, it can absorb light energy to generate electron-hole pairs, thereby catalyzing the oxidation reaction in the air and decomposing organic matter into harmless substances. With the above-mentioned photocatalytic performance, the photothermal catalyst of this invention can use light energy to decompose pollutants in the air into harmless substances, achieving efficient removal of oil fumes and VOCs.

[0058] The thermocatalytic principle of the photothermal catalyst of this invention is based on the thermocatalytic component aα-bβOx, wherein the aα part contains noble metals and the bβOx part contains oxides of transition metals and / or alkali metals.

[0067] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0068] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0069] In this invention, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0070] This invention provides a photothermal catalyst comprising the following structural formula: aα-bβOx-TiO2, wherein: α includes a noble metal, β includes a transition metal and / or an alkali metal, a includes an integer greater than or equal to 0, b includes an integer of 0 or greater than or equal to 1, x is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 3, and x can be 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, 2.5, 3, etc.

[0071] It is understandable that the aα part in the structural formula refers to precious metals, where 'a' refers to the type of 'α'. For example, when a equals 1, it is represented as 1α, which is a single precious metal. When a equals 2, it is represented as 2α, which is a combination of two different types of precious metals. When a equals 3, it is represented as 3α, which is a combination of three different types of precious metals.

[0072] It is understood that the bβOx part in the structural formula refers to the oxide of a transition metal and / or an alkali metal. In bβOx, b refers to the type of β. For example, when b equals 1, it is represented as 1β, where 1β is a transition metal or an alkali metal. When b equals 2, it is represented as 2β, where 2β is a combination of any two metals among the transition metal and / or alkali metals. When b equals 3, it is represented as 3β, where 3β is a combination of any three metals among the transition metal and / or alkali metals. When b equals 0, the photothermal catalyst does not contain bβOx and can be represented as aα-TiO2. In this embodiment, x in bβOx refers to the amount of O, where x is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 3. x can be 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, 2.5, 3, etc. When b equals 0, the photothermal catalyst does not contain transition metals and / or alkali metals, and x is also 0.

[0073] In the photothermal catalyst of the present invention, the thermocatalytic component aα-bβOx in the structural formula contains noble metals, or transition metals and / or alkali metals. Noble metals, transition metals and alkali metals all have good redox properties and can provide active oxygen species under heating conditions and at lower temperature conditions. They can chemically react with organic matter in oils, fumes and VOCs and degrade them into water and carbon dioxide, thereby improving the purification efficiency and performance stability of the photothermal catalyst.

[0074] In the photothermal catalyst of the present invention, the photocatalytic component includes TiO2. With semiconductor properties, when TiO2 is exposed to light, it can absorb light energy and generate electrons (e-) that jump to the conduction band, forming electron-hole (h+) pairs. These photogenerated charge carriers can undergo redox reactions with pollutants such as grease, fumes, and organic matter in VOCs adsorbed on the catalyst surface, decomposing the pollutants into harmless substances. With the above-mentioned photocatalytic performance, the photothermal catalyst of the present invention can use light energy to decompose pollutants such as grease, fumes, and VOCs in the cooking environment into harmless substances, achieving efficient removal of pollutants.

[0075] The photothermal catalyst of the present invention contains both photocatalytic and thermal catalytic components. When light energy and heat energy act on the photothermal catalyst simultaneously, the surface of the photothermal catalyst simultaneously possesses photogenerated electron-hole pairs and thermally excited active sites. These active species work together to enhance the redox ability of the photothermal catalyst, which can significantly improve the degradation rate and efficiency of pollutants.

[0076] Furthermore, the photothermal catalyst of this invention can complementaryly degrade different pollutants, achieving the goal of comprehensively treating complex pollutants. For example, the photocatalytic component has a good degradation effect on low-molecular-weight organic compounds with photosensitive groups (such as alcohols and aldehydes), while the thermocatalytic component has a strong oxidizing ability on high-molecular-weight, recalcitrant organic compounds (such as fatty acids, esters, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) and some gaseous pollutants. The oils and fumes produced during cooking are complex in composition, and a single catalytic method is insufficient for comprehensive and efficient treatment. Applying the photothermal catalyst of this invention to the cooking field combines photocatalysis and thermocatalysis, utilizing their complementarity in degrading different pollutants to achieve comprehensive degradation of various complex pollutants and improve purification efficiency.

[0077] Furthermore, the photothermal catalyst of the present invention also has good thermal stability and catalytic durability. During the photocatalytic process, intermediate products may be formed on the surface of the catalyst, leading to catalyst deactivation. The introduction of thermocatalysis can further decompose these intermediate products and keep the catalyst surface clean. In addition, since the reaction conditions of the photocatalytic components and the thermocatalytic components are different, the catalyst can play a role under light or heating conditions, which can effectively ensure continuous and efficient pollutant degradation capabilities.

[0078] Under sufficient light conditions, the photocatalytic component of the photothermal catalyst of this invention plays the main catalytic role, making full use of light energy resources. Under weak light or no light conditions, such as at night or in darkness, the thermal catalytic component can ensure the activity of the catalyst, and can produce a good catalytic degradation effect on pollutants without relying on light. When the photothermal catalyst of this invention is applied to purification equipment, the purification equipment can operate stably in the kitchen environment, without being limited by changes in light and temperature, thus improving the reliability and practicality of the system.

[0079] In some embodiments, the noble metals include platinum (Pt), Au, Pd, Rh, and Ru. The oxides of these noble metals have good thermal catalytic properties and can catalytically degrade pollutants such as grease, fumes, and organic matter in VOCs into water and carbon dioxide.

[0080] In some embodiments, transition metals include Ca, Mg, Al, Zn, Cu, Fe, Ce, Co, Ti, Zr, Ni, V, Mn, La, and W. Oxides of these transition metals have good thermocatalytic properties and can catalytically degrade pollutants such as grease, fumes, and organic matter in VOCs into water and carbon dioxide.

[0081] In some embodiments, alkali metals include Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr. Oxides of these alkali metals have good thermal catalytic properties and can catalytically degrade pollutants such as grease, fumes, and organic matter in VOCs into water and carbon dioxide.

[0082] In the structural formula aα-bβOx-TiO2, when a is 0 or 1 and b is an integer greater than or equal to 2, or when a is an integer greater than or equal to 2 and b is an integer greater than or equal to 2, the aα part of the thermocatalytic component is a combination of two or more noble metal elements, or the bβOx part of the thermocatalytic component is a metal oxide obtained by a combination of two or more transition metals and / or alkali metals. This makes the photothermal catalyst form a mixed valence state, which not only can obtain different catalytic performances, but also provides stable oxygen vacancies, enhancing the thermal stability of the catalyst. Among them, the oxide part of the transition metal and / or alkali metal is a combination of two or more metals, which can also prevent the agglomeration of noble metals at high temperatures, further improving the photocatalytic performance and thermal stability of the catalyst.

Selecting three or more metallic elements from transition metals and / or alkali metals for a composite composition as a thermocatalytic component provides stable oxygen vacancies, enhances the thermal stability of the photothermal catalyst, and also expands the threshold of the photothermal catalyst's catalytic performance, for example, achieving a wider catalytic temperature range.

Furthermore, this embodiment selects two metal elements from transition metals and / or alkali metals for combination, providing stable oxygen vacancies, which can alleviate the aggregation of noble metals at high temperatures and enhance the thermal stability of the photothermal catalyst. The combination of different metals can also broaden the threshold of the photothermal catalyst's catalytic performance.

[0191] 3. Photocatalysis-thermal catalysis test

[0192] 1.0g of photothermal catalyst was loaded inside a quartz tube with a length of 40cm, a thickness of 2mm, and an inner diameter of 1.5cm. The photothermal catalyst section was inserted into a specific rectangular metal box with a length of 20cm, a width of 10cm, and a height of 10cm.

In contrast, the temperatures required to degrade 100% of toluene and 100% of oils range from 112°C to 201°C, and even as low as 122°C.

[0199] 4. Thermal catalysis test:

[0200] The photothermal catalysts CeMnOx-TiO2 in Examples 1-2 and Pt-CuMnO in Example 3 were tested according to the method described in Test 3. x -TiO2 was tested, but the temperature was kept constant at 100℃ for 6 hours, and the test was divided into light-illuminated and light-free scenarios. In the light-free scenario, the hot catalyst section was placed in a regular tube furnace and heated under light-free conditions. The degradation rate of toluene was calculated according to the calculation method of Test 3 and compared with the degradation rate of Test 3. The results are shown in Table 3.

The substrates coated with the catalytic coatings were placed in a reaction apparatus and maintained at 200°C for 400 hours. Toluene gas of the same concentration was introduced, and the degradation rate of toluene was calculated. The data are shown in Table 4.

[0206] Table 4. Results of high temperature stability test

[0207]

[0208] Under prolonged high temperatures, the nanoparticles of the noble metal Pt will agglomerate, resulting in decreased activity and a reduced degradation rate of toluene. However, Example 2 combines Cu and Mn metals, which anchor Pt nanoparticles through strong interactions, thereby improving catalyst stability and effectively mitigating the agglomeration of the noble metal Pt. This allows the catalyst to maintain a good degradation effect even under prolonged high-temperature conditions.
