Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of coordination chemistry technology, specifically relating to a polymetallic oxy-cluster lubricating material, its synthesis method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Lubricating oil additives include friction modifiers, anti-wear agents, dispersants, detergents, and antioxidants. Classic small-molecule friction modifiers and anti-wear additives have inherent chemical, thermal, or mechanical instabilities, leading to serious emissions of harmful exhaust gases and particulate matter, which do not meet environmental protection requirements. At the same time, there is competitive adsorption between traditional small-molecule metal additives and large-molecule dispersants, and molybdenum-based additives are easily consumed, further reducing the durability of lubricating oils.

[0003] While nanoparticles possess excellent lubrication properties and chemical stability, significantly reducing harmful emissions and toxicity, making them an environmentally friendly green additive, they are insoluble in base oils. Although nanoparticles with surface-modified long-chain alkanes can disperse in base oils, they tend to aggregate and settle over long periods of time, limiting their practical applications.

[0004] Polyoxometalates (POMs) are a class of homopoly and heteropolyoxometalate compounds with a defined structure and a size between 0.5 and 5 nm, whose framework is rich in transition elements such as molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium, niobium, and tantalum. POMs possess diverse topological structures and rich physical and chemical properties, thus showing great application potential in optical, electronic, and magnetic functional materials, medicine, and catalysis. Compared with nanoparticles, these clusters have a defined topological structure and atomic composition. Sun Lei et al. prepared stearic acid / ammonium phosphomolybdate composite nanoparticles, which exhibited good friction reduction and load-bearing capacity as well as excellent wear resistance (Sun Lei, Zhou Jingfang, Zhang Zhijun, et al. Preparation and characterization of stearic acid-modified ammonium phosphomolybdate nanoparticles [J]. Journal of Henan University (Natural Science Edition), 2001, 31(01): 59-62). However, these cluster-based nanoparticles were only dispersed in liquid paraffin and did not truly dissolve; after prolonged standing, they still aggregated and settled.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art to provide a multi-metal-oxygen cluster lubricating material that can be stably dispersed in base oil over a long period of time, so that the resulting oil solution has better lubrication performance and can be used as a friction-reducing and anti-wear lubricating oil in mechanical systems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention addresses the problems existing in the prior art by providing a polymetallic oxy-cluster lubricating material, its synthesis method, and its application, which can improve the dispersibility and stability of lubricating materials.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0008] A multi-metal-oxygen cluster lubricating material, characterized in that the chemical structural formula of the multi-metal-oxygen cluster lubricating material is selected from any one of the following formulas:

[0009]

[0010] In the above formula, PIB stands for polyisobutylene.

[0011] Preferably, the polyoxometalate lubricant has a molybdenum content of 1.5-8.0% and a nitrogen content of 0.5-3.5%.

[0012] The present invention provides a method for synthesizing the above-mentioned polyoxometalate cluster lubricating material, comprising the following steps: under an inert gas atmosphere, the polyoxometalate cluster is reacted with polyisobutylene monosuccinimide in an acid-base reaction to obtain the material.

[0013] Preferably, the inert gas is nitrogen or argon.

[0014] Preferably, the polyoxometalate cluster is a molybdenum-containing cluster compound.

[0015] More preferably, the polymetallic oxy-metal cluster includes molybdic acid (H2MoO4) and phosphomolybdic acid (H3[PMoO4]). 12 O 40 ]), molybdenum silicate (H4[SiMo) 12 O 40 ]) and ammonium heptamolybdate ((NH4)6[Mo7O 24 Any one of the following: [ ]. Among them, the counter cation of molybdic acid, phosphomolybdic acid, and silicomolybdic acid is H... + The counter cation of ammonium heptamolybdate is NH4+. + amine group and H + or NH4 + The molar ratio can be adjusted according to the actual situation, generally between 5 and 1.

[0016] More preferably, the polymetallic oxygen cluster is phosphomolybdic acid.

[0017] Preferably, the polymetallic oxy-oxide cluster needs to be dissolved in water or ethanol first.

[0018] Preferably, the chemical structural formula of the polyisobutylene monosuccinimide is as follows:

[0019]

[0020] In the above formula, PIB stands for polyisobutylene.

[0021] Preferably, the preparation method of the polyisobutylene monosuccinimide includes the following steps: under argon or nitrogen atmosphere, polyisobutylene maleic anhydride, primary amine compound and solvent are subjected to a dehydration reaction under reflux conditions to obtain the product.

[0022] Preferably, the polyisobutylene maleic anhydride has a molecular weight of 800-2500, and the polyisobutylene maleic anhydride needs to be dissolved in a solvent and heated to 90-110°C.

[0023] Preferably, the primary amine compound includes any one of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine and polyethylenepolyamine.

[0024] Preferably, the solvent is xylene, o-dichlorobenzene, or a base oil.

[0025] Preferably, the molar volume ratio of the polyisobutylene maleic anhydride, the primary amine compound, and the solvent is 0.05-0.12 mol: 0.04-0.08 mol: 300-400 mL.

[0026] Preferably, the temperature of the dehydration reaction is 140-180℃, the time of the dehydration reaction is 7-9h, and after the dehydration reaction is completed, cooling and vacuum distillation are performed to remove the solvent.

[0027] Preferably, the acid-base reaction temperature is 60-140℃, the acid-base reaction time is 12-48h, the acid-base reaction requires the addition of reaction solvents such as xylene, toluene or base oil, and after the acid-base reaction is completed, the reaction solvent is removed by vacuum distillation, petroleum ether is added, and the mixture is centrifuged and rotary evaporated.

[0028] This invention replaces the countercations on the surface of polyoxometalate clusters with amphiphilic cationic block copolymers. The resulting cluster-based composite material can be uniformly dispersed in organic solvents, forming spherical micelles, rod-shaped micelles, worm-like micelles, or vesicles. The star-shaped supramolecular polymer with polyoxometalate clusters as its core can dissolve in organic solvents or base oils as individual clusters. Polyisobutylene monosuccinimide is weakly basic and is a widely used ashless dispersant. Therefore, the polyoxometalate cluster lubricating material prepared by reacting polyoxometalate clusters with polyisobutylene monosuccinimide via an acid-base reaction, when dispersed in base oil, can improve the dispersibility and stability of the lubricating material.

[0029] The present invention also provides the application of the above-mentioned polyoxometalate cluster lubricating material or the polyoxometalate cluster lubricating material synthesized by the above-mentioned synthesis method in the preparation of lubricating oil additives.

Therefore, it can be used as a lubricating oil.

[0031] Preferably, the lubricating oil includes mineral base oil, synthetic base oil, and vegetable oil base oil.

[0032] Mineral base oils are refined from crude oil; synthetic base oils are base oils synthesized through chemical methods, such as polyalphaolefins; vegetable oil base oils are oils obtained from the fruits, seeds, germs, etc. of plants.

[0033] More preferably, the mineral base oil is HVIP6 and the synthetic base oil is PAO10.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

When the lubricating material is added to a Group II base oil at a dosage of 5%, it is clear and transparent in appearance. After being stored at room temperature for 1 month and at 100°C for 10 days, there is no precipitation or stratification.

[0037] (3) The experimental results of this invention also confirm that, compared with base oil, the oil solution formed by dispersing polymetallic oxygen cluster lubricating materials in base oil has better lubrication performance and can be used as a friction-reducing and anti-wear lubricating oil in mechanical systems.

[0153] Comparative Example 1

[0154] Compared with Example 5, the only difference is that ammonium heptamolybdate is replaced with an equimolar amount of molybdenum trioxide. The product obtained after the reaction is a turbid liquid with a large amount of precipitate at the bottom of the reaction flask.

[0155] Therefore, it is evident that replacing ammonium heptamolybdate with molybdenum trioxide does not result in a clear and transparent product.

[0156] Comparative Example 2

[0157] By replacing N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine in Example 4 with an equimolar amount of ethylenediamine, an intermediate product was prepared, designated PIBS1000-NH. Then, following Example 5, except replacing PIBS1000-NOH with PIBS1000-NH, with all other reactants and reaction conditions remaining the same, the resulting product was a turbid liquid with a large amount of precipitate at the bottom of the reaction flask.

[0158] Therefore, it is evident that replacing N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine with ethylenediamine does not result in a clear and transparent product.

[0159] Comparative Example 3

[0160] By replacing the polyisobutylene maleic anhydride in Example 4 with an equimolar amount of stearic acid, an intermediate product, stearamide, was prepared. Then, following Example 5, only PIBS1000-NOH was replaced with stearamide, while other reactants and reaction conditions remained the same. The product obtained after the reaction was a turbid liquid with a large amount of precipitate at the bottom of the reaction flask.

[0161] Therefore, it is evident that replacing polyisobutylene maleic anhydride with stearic acid does not result in a clear and transparent product.

[0166] As shown in Table 1, the molybdenum content of the polyoxometalate cluster lubricating materials in Examples 5-14 is 1.5-8.0%, and the nitrogen content is 0.5-3.5%.

[0167] Test Example 2

[0168] The multi-metal oxide cluster lubricating materials prepared in Examples 5-14 were added to base oil at a mass concentration of 5%, and the stability of the oil solution was observed when stored at room temperature (20-25℃) and 100℃.

[0169] Experimental results are as follows Figure 21 As shown (where a represents 30 minutes at 100°C; b represents 30 days at room temperature; c represents 10 days at 100°C), by Figure 21 It can be seen that the oil solutions of Examples 5-14 are clear and transparent in appearance. They show no precipitation or stratification after being stored at room temperature for 1 month and at 100°C for 10 days, and have good stability.

[0170] Test Example 3

[0171] Mo-10 and Mo-11 from Examples 6 and 10 were dissolved in base oil PAO-10 at a concentration of 5%. The test was conducted using the SRV test method (NB / SH / T 0847-2010) for the determination of the tribological properties of extreme pressure lubricating oils, under the frictional conditions of a load of 300 N, a temperature of 50 °C, a time of 120 min, a stroke of 1 mm, and a frequency of 50 Hz.

[0172] Test results are as follows Figure 22 As shown, by Figure 22 It can be seen that the coefficient of friction of the oils is less than 0.14. This indicates that adding polyoxometalate cluster lubricating materials Mo-10 and Mo-11 to PAO-10 base oil can improve its lubrication performance. The polyoxometalate cluster lubricating materials of this invention can be applied to lubricating oils.
