The invention discloses a preparation method of a
heterojunction modified C60 supported monatomic
iodine catalyst, and belongs to the technical field of nano materials and
catalysis. According to the method,
iodine atoms are stably loaded on a C60 carrier through oxidation pretreatment, heterostructure construction and a
pyrolysis anchoring process. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, carrying out surface
carboxylation activation on C60 by adopting
nitric acid /
sulfuric acid mixed acid; then mixing with
thiourea, and performing high-temperature annealing to realize
nitrogen-
sulfur co-
doping, so as to form a donor-
acceptor pair
heterojunction in a C60 skeleton; and finally, ball-milling and mixing with
ammonium iodide or
potassium iodate, and pyrolyzing in an
inert atmosphere, so that
iodine atoms and defect sites of the carrier form a C-I-N or C-I-S coordination structure, and monatomic-scale dispersion is realized. Topological defect anchoring points are created in C60 through
heterojunction engineering, so that the iodine loading capacity reaches 5.0 wt% or above, the
cycling stability is remarkably improved, the
electron structure is optimized through
nitrogen and
sulfur synergistic
doping, the half-wave potential of the catalyst in the
oxygen reduction reaction reaches 0.85 V or above, and the apparent rate constant of
persulfate for activating and degrading pollutants reaches 0.45 min <-1 >. The method has the advantages of simple process and low
raw material cost, and is suitable for preparing efficient non-
metal catalysts in the fields of
fuel cells,
metal-air battery electrodes, advanced oxidation
water treatment and the like.
