The invention provides a preparation method and application of a
polyphenol amine photocatalyst containing a
sulfonic acid group, firstly, synthesis of
polyphenol amine is completed through oxidation-auto-
polymerization, and
hexamethylenediamine and amino
methanesulfonic acid tend to be combined with an o-
benzoquinone structure under aerobic and mild alkaline conditions, so that synthesis of the
polyphenol amine photocatalyst containing the
sulfonic acid group is completed; polyphenol amines (PCHA) in which polyphenols and polyamines are combined and polyphenol amines (PCHA-SO3H) containing
sulfonic acid groups are formed through Michael addition. According to the prepared polyphenol amine material, the preparation method is simple, harsh
process conditions are not needed, the polyphenol amine photocatalyst containing the sulfonic
acid group has the optimal hydrophilicity, and the rate of photocatalytic alkaline synthesis of
hydrogen peroxide is increased. The rate of
photosynthesis of H2O2 under an alkaline condition (1M NaOH) reaches 2277 [mu] M h <-1 >, and the performance exceeds most reported photocatalysts (including COF synthesized by different monomers, modified g-C3N4, resin and other types). In addition, a
fixed bed reactor simulating a
plant leaf structure is adopted, and when natural
sunlight is used as a
light source, the conversion efficiency of
solar energy synthesized by
photocatalysis of
hydrogen peroxide reaches 0.04%, and more scientific significance is achieved.
