Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wastewater treatment technology. More specifically, it relates to a surface-rich MnO2 nanowire with atomically dispersed Mg doping and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] Heterogeneous catalytic ozone oxidation technology promotes the decomposition of ozone through solid catalysts to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially highly oxidizing hydroxyl radicals (·OH), which is an effective means of treating wastewater containing organic pollutants.
[0003] Currently, activated carbon-supported catalysts are widely used in heterogeneous catalytic ozone oxidation, with manganese oxides (such as MnO2) and magnesium oxides (MgO) being common active components. Among them, MnO2 nanowires with a one-dimensional tunnel structure exhibit good catalytic potential due to their high aspect ratio and specific surface area. However, the catalytic activity of pure-phase MnO2 nanowires is still limited by their slow electron transport rate and insufficient ozone activation ability, restricting further improvement of their catalytic activity. Magnesium oxide, as an ozone catalyst, also suffers from the problem of limited active sites.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, existing research has attempted to combine manganese and magnesium oxides to enhance catalytic ozone oxidation performance. For example, Chinese patent application CN114931963A proposes an N-doped manganese-magnesium binary oxide strategy, which modulates the acid-base properties of the catalyst through single-atom nitrogen doping to improve its catalytic ozone activity. Furthermore, Zhu Yaxiong (Zhu Yaxiong, Li Zhipeng, Wang Weiye, et al. Deep ozone catalytic oxidation treatment of dyeing and printing wastewater using MnO2-MgO / AC catalyst [J]. Water Treatment Technology, 2017, 43(11): 121-123, 128.) et al. loaded manganese-magnesium bimetallic oxides onto activated carbon particles for deep ozone catalytic oxidation treatment of dyeing and printing wastewater. All of these existing technologies involve macroscopic or micron-level physical composites or loading of Mg with MnO2 in the form of oxides (MgO). This simple composite method cannot fully utilize the regulatory effect of Mg doping on the electronic structure of MnO2, limiting further improvement in its catalytic effect.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a novel MnO2 nanowire-based material to overcome the defects of poor Mg species dispersion and low utilization of active sites in existing MnO2 nanowire-based composite catalysts. This is of great practical significance for promoting the practical application of high-performance catalytic ozone oxidation catalysts in wastewater treatment. Summary of the Invention

[0007] A second objective of this invention is to provide the application of the MnO2 nanowire material with Mg-rich atomic-level dispersed doping on its surface in the catalytic ozone oxidation degradation of organic pollutants in wastewater.
[0008] The above-mentioned objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: This invention provides a surface-rich MnO2 nanowire material with atomically dispersed Mg doping, prepared by the following steps: S1: Dissolve potassium permanganate and divalent manganese salt in water, carry out hydrothermal reaction at 120~180 ℃, and then perform post-treatment to obtain MnO2 nanowires; S2: Take the MnO2 nanowires obtained in step S1 and disperse them with an organic complexing agent in water to obtain an MnO2 nanowire dispersion; S3: Mix the MnO2 nanowire dispersion obtained in step S2 with magnesium salt, carry out a complexation reaction, and then perform post-processing to obtain the precursor; S4: The precursor obtained in step S3 is placed in an air atmosphere and calcined at 400~500 ℃ to obtain MnO2 nanowire material with Mg atomic-level dispersed doping on the surface. The organic complexing agent is selected from at least one of citric acid, malic acid, and disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate. The molar ratio of the magnesium salt to the organic complexing agent is 1:(1.7~2). The molar ratio of the MnO2 nanowires to the magnesium salt is (5~14):1.
[0009] Preferably, in step S1, the molar ratio of potassium permanganate to divalent manganese salt is 1:(1~2).
[0010] Preferably, in step S1, the divalent manganese salt is selected from at least one of sulfate, nitrate, and chloride.

[0012] Preferably, in step S1, the hydrothermal reaction takes 10-14 hours.
[0013] Preferably, in step S1, the post-processing includes washing and drying.
[0014] More preferably, in step S1, the washing is performed by washing with water and ethanol in sequence.
[0015] Optionally, in step S1, the washing process involves first washing with water three times, and then washing with ethanol once.
[0016] More preferably, in step S1, the drying is carried out at 60~100 ℃, specifically 80 ℃.
[0017] Preferably, in step S2, the molar volume ratio of the MnO2 nanowires to water is (5~14) mmol:100 mL.
[0018] Preferably, in step S3, the magnesium salt is selected from at least one of nitrates and acetates.
[0019] Preferably, in step S3, the pH of the complexation reaction is 4-6.
[0020] Preferably, in step S3, the temperature of the complexation reaction is 60~80 °C.
[0021] Preferably, in step S3, the post-processing includes drying and grinding.
[0022] More preferably, in step S3, the drying is carried out at 60~100 ℃, specifically 80 ℃.
[0023] Furthermore, the grinding is performed until there are no obvious lumps.
[0024] Preferably, in step S4, the calcination time is 1 to 3 hours.

[0028] The present invention also provides the application of the MnO2 nanowire material with Mg-rich atomic-level dispersed doping on its surface in the catalytic ozone oxidation degradation of organic pollutants in wastewater.
[0029] Furthermore, the catalytic ozone oxidation degradation into MnO2 nanowires with Mg-rich atomic-level dispersed doping can catalyze the generation of highly reactive hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and / or singlet oxygen from ozone. 1 Highly reactive oxygen species such as O2 are used to achieve efficient and thorough degradation of organic pollutants in water.
[0030] Preferably, the organic pollutant includes one or more of acetaminophen, methylene blue, bisphenol A, and amoxicillin.
[0031] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention provides a Mg-rich, atomically dispersed MnO2 nanowire material, prepared through a dual strategy of pre-adsorption and in-situ complexation of organic complexing agents combined with calcination removal of the organic complexing agents. In this material, Mg is in-situ anchored within the MnO2 surface lattice, achieving high-density, atomically dispersed Mg doping on the nanowire surface. Simultaneously, the surface-enriched low-valence Mg induces a large number of oxygen vacancies (OVs) at nearby sites through charge compensation effects, successfully constructing Mg-O-Mn and Mg-OV-Mn synergistic catalytic interfaces. Benefiting from these characteristics, the Mg-rich, atomically dispersed MnO2 nanowire material prepared by this invention exhibits excellent catalytic ozone oxidation activity and highly efficient degradation capabilities for organic pollutants in wastewater.

X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was performed on the MnO2 nanowire material with Mg-rich atomic-level dispersed doping obtained in Example 1, the MnO2 nanowire material obtained in Comparative Example 1, and the magnesium oxide nanomaterial obtained in Comparative Example 2.
[0074] Experimental results are as follows Figure 1 As shown, the MnO2 nanowire material with surface-rich Mg atomic-level dispersed doping prepared in Example 1 exhibited diffraction peaks corresponding to the standard card peaks (PDF#29-1020) of MnO2 nanowires in its XRD pattern, and no characteristic peaks of MgO (standard card peak is PDF#45-0946) were observed. This indicates that Mg did not aggregate into clusters on the MnO2 surface as an independent oxide, but rather existed in a highly dispersed state in the sample. Further observation revealed that, compared with the MnO2 nanowire material obtained in Comparative Example 1, the diffraction peak positions of the MnO2 nanowire material with surface-rich Mg atomic-level dispersed doping obtained in Example 1 were slightly shifted towards lower angles, indicating that Mg was not physically mixed in MnO2, but rather integrated into the crystal lattice structure.
[0075] 2. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis was performed on the MnO2 nanowire material with atomically dispersed Mg doping obtained in Example 1. The results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the MnO2 nanowires with surface-rich Mg atomic-level dispersed doping prepared in Example 1 exhibit a uniform nanowire morphology.
[0076] 3. Scanning transmission electron microscopy analysis (1) Scanning transmission electron microscopy-X-ray energy distribution mapping analysis The surface-rich Mg-atomic-level dispersed doped MnO2 nanowire material obtained in Example 1 was analyzed by scanning transmission electron microscopy-X-ray energy distribution mapping (STEM-EDS Mapping). In the scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) mode, high-angle annular dark field (HAADF) images and X-ray energy distribution mapping (EDS Mapping) data were acquired simultaneously.
[0077] Experimental results are as follows Figure 3As shown, in the high-angle annular dark-field (HAADF) image, the MnO2 nanowires with Mg-rich atomically dispersed doping exhibit a uniform one-dimensional nanowire morphology, with a diameter of approximately 20–25 nm. In the X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) elemental analysis image, Mg, O, and Mn are marked in yellow, green, and red, respectively. The Mn and O signals uniformly cover the entire nanowire region, forming the main framework of the nanowire; the Mg signal is also uniformly distributed throughout the area covered by the nanowire, and highly overlaps with the signal distributions of Mn and O. No local segregation or clustering of Mg was observed, indicating that Mg is uniformly distributed at the nanowire scale, and no large-scale macroscopic phase separation has occurred.
[0078] (2) High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) analysis The MnO2 nanowire material with surface-rich Mg atomic-level dispersed doping obtained in Example 1 and the MnO2 nanowire material obtained in Comparative Example 1 were analyzed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM).
[0079] Experimental results are as follows Figure 4 As shown, Example 1 ( Figure 4 The MnO2 nanowire material (Mg-doped sample) with surface-rich Mg atomic-level dispersed doping obtained in Figure A has a lattice fringe spacing of 0.300 nm, while Comparative Example 1 ( Figure 4 The lattice fringe spacing of the MnO2 nanowire material (pure phase material) obtained in Figure B of Example 1 is 0.248 nm, indicating that Mg has entered the MnO2 lattice in the surface-rich Mg-atomic-level dispersed doped MnO2 nanowire material obtained in Example 1. This significant increase in interplanar spacing is directly attributed to the successful substitution of Mn by Mg in the MnO2 lattice. 4+ The presence of Mg at specific lattice sites triggers localized lattice expansion. These results indicate that Mg does not exist as an amorphous phase or surface-adsorbed clusters, but rather as an atomically dispersed element within the MnO2 lattice, achieving surface-enriched atomic-level doping.
[0080] 4. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to analyze the MnO2 nanowire material with Mg-rich atomic-level dispersed doping obtained in Example 1 and the MnO2 nanowire material obtained in Comparative Example 1.
[0081] Experimental results are as follows Figure 5 As shown, the Mn 2p spectrum of the surface-rich Mg-atomically dispersed doped MnO2 nanowire material obtained in Example 1 is shown. Figure 5 In Figure A, Mn 3+ The characteristic peak area of Mn increased significantly.3+ / Mn 4+ The proportion increased significantly. This indicates that low-valent Mg... 2+ When doped with MnO2, the charge compensation effect promotes the doping of neighboring MnO2 to maintain the charge balance of the system. 4+ Partially reduced to Mn 3+ This also induces the generation of a large number of oxygen vacancies (OV), and Mn ions near these oxygen vacancies tend to exist in a lower valence state. Surface Mn 3+ The increased content promotes the adsorption and activation of ozone molecules. Furthermore, a strong characteristic signal peak appeared in the Mg 1s binding energy region ( Figure 5 Figure B in the diagram, combined with the absence of MgO diffraction peaks in XRD and the elemental distribution map in the STEM-EDS image showing uniform Mg distribution on the nanowire surface, further confirms that Mg has been successfully doped and enriched on the MnO2 nanowire surface, rather than existing as an independent MgO phase. The enrichment of Mg on the surface fully exposes the active sites, which is beneficial for the efficient catalytic ozone oxidation reaction. The Mn 2p spectrum of pure MnO2 (…) Figure 5 (Figure C in the image) After peak fitting, it mainly consists of Mn 4+ The characteristic peaks were dominant, and no signal peaks were detected in the Mg 1s binding energy region. Figure 5 The D-image in the figure confirms that the surface does not contain Mg. Based on the combined XPS analysis results, this invention successfully achieved atomic-level doping enrichment of Mg on the surface of MnO2 nanowires, and induced surface Mn doping through charge compensation effect. 3+ The increased content and the generation of a large number of oxygen vacancies (OV) construct a synergistic catalytic interface between Mg-O-Mn and Mg-OV-Mn, providing a structural basis for the catalyst's excellent ozone activation ability.
[0082] 5. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis was performed on the MnO2 nanowire material with surface rich Mg atomic-level dispersed doping obtained in Example 1 and the MnO2 nanowire material obtained in Comparative Example 1.
[0083] Experimental results are as follows Figure 6 As shown, the MnO2 nanowire material obtained in Comparative Example 1 exhibits only a very weak signal within the magnetic field range, indicating a very low oxygen vacancy concentration. In contrast, the MnO2 nanowire material with surface-rich Mg atomically dispersed doping obtained in Example 1 shows an extremely high-intensity and significantly broadened EPR signal peak near approximately 3300 G, indicating that Mg doping induces a high concentration of oxygen vacancies in the MnO2 lattice through charge compensation, thereby successfully constructing a Mg-O-Mn and Mg-OV-Mn synergistic catalytic interface.
[0084] The MnO2 nanowires with surface-rich Mg atomic-level dispersed doping obtained in Examples 2 to 5 have similar properties to the MnO2 nanowires with surface-rich Mg atomic-level dispersed doping obtained in Example 1, and will not be described again.

Experimental Methods The surface-rich Mg-doped MnO2 nanowires obtained in Examples 1-5, the MnO2 nanowires obtained in Comparative Example 1, the magnesium oxide nanomaterials prepared in Comparative Example 2, the magnesium oxide-supported MnO2 nanomaterials obtained in Comparative Example 3, and the Mg-doped MnO2 nanomaterials obtained in Comparative Example 4 were used as catalysts. Acetaminophen (PCT) was used as a simulated pollutant. 100.0 mL of 20.0 mg / L PCT wastewater and 0.03 g of each of the above catalysts were added to the reactor. Ozone at a concentration of 1.0 mg / L was continuously bubbled into the water using an ozone generator at a flow rate of 150 mL / min, and the gaseous ozone concentration was continuously monitored using an online ozone analyzer. Unreacted ozone at the reactor outlet was quenched with a 2% (w / v) potassium iodide solution. After 15 min of reaction, samples were taken. The ozone in the solution was stripped with N2, and the concentration of acetaminophen in the filtrate was immediately determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The removal rate was calculated, and the group without catalyst was used as a blank control. Each experiment was repeated 3 times, and the average value was taken as the final result.

[0089] As shown in Table 1, the MnO2 nanowire materials with surface-rich Mg atomic-level dispersed doping prepared in Examples 1 to 5 are significantly better than those in the comparative examples.
[0090] Experimental Example 3: Evaluation of Ozone Catalytic Degradation Effect The MnO2 nanowire materials with Mg-rich atomic-level dispersed doping obtained in Examples 1-5 exhibit comparable catalytic activity. To verify their universality for different organic pollutants, the nanowire material obtained in Example 1 was used as a representative sample in this experiment.
[0091] Using the surface-doped MnO2 nanowires rich in Mg atoms dispersed in Example 1 as a representative catalyst, methylene blue (MB), bisphenol A (BPA), and amoxicillin (AMOX) were selected as representative pollutants for ozone catalytic degradation experiments. The experimental conditions were as follows: 100.0 mL of wastewater containing 20.0 mg / L of pollutants and 0.03 g of catalyst were added to the reactor. Ozone at a concentration of 1.0 mg / L was continuously bubbled into the water using an ozone generator at a flow rate of 150 mL / min. After reacting for 15 min, samples were taken, and the pollutant concentration was determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The degradation rate was calculated. Each experiment was repeated three times, and the average value was taken as the final result.
