The invention belongs to the field of
heterogeneous catalysis, and discloses a preparation method and application of a two-dimensional flaky MOF material containing variable valence
transition metal. The preparation method comprises the following steps: mixing a solution of a variable valence
transition metal source of a
vanadium source, a
molybdenum source, an
iron source or a
cerium source with a solution containing
imidazole organic ligands, and then reacting by a temperature-controlled solvothermal method to obtain M-MOF-T. Precise regulation and control of the mixed valence state of
metal ions are achieved by regulating and controlling the solvothermal temperature, a
vanadium-based MOF product forms a high-
crystallinity two-dimensional
sheet structure, and other
metal-based MOF products all have highly-dispersed mixed valence state active centers. The catalyst shows excellent catalytic activity and selectivity on
sulfur-containing compounds such as DBT, 4-MDBT and the like in
fuel oil in a
system taking
ionic liquid [Bmim] BF as an extraction / reaction medium, the desulfurization rate of the
vanadium-based catalyst on the DBT within 30 minutes reaches 100%, and the desulfurization rates of the
molybdenum-based catalyst, the iron-based catalyst and the
cerium-based catalyst exceed 78%; the
reaction conditions are mild, the catalyst and the
ionic liquid can be synchronously recycled, the process is simple, efficient and environment-friendly, and the industrial application potential is remarkable.
