The following examples are examples of experimental procedures not specified under specific conditions, generally according to the conditions recommended by the manufacturer. Unless otherwise indicated, percentages and parts are by mass.
Example 1
The embodiment provides a preparation method of a ZnO nanowire array/three-dimensional nitrogen-doped rGO nanotube composite material, which comprises the following steps:
1) graphite powder is used as a raw material, an improved Hummers method is adopted to prepare graphene oxide suspension liquid with the concentration of 2.3g/L, and 80% ethanol is added;
2) washing melamine sponge with ethanol, drying at 80 ℃ for 12h, soaking in graphene oxide suspension, and calcining with ethanol flame at about 550 ℃ for 3min to obtain 3 DN-rGO;
3) 220mg of Zn (CH)3COO)2·2H2Dispersing O in 100mL of ethanol to form a mixed solution A, soaking 10mg of 3DN-rGO in the solution for 0.5h, and then calcining at 200 ℃ for 20min to form a seed layer of zinc oxide ZnO nanoparticles (namely ZnO seed N-rGO);
s4, soaking ZnO seed crystal N-rGO in 50mL of mixed solution B consisting of 0.75g of zinc nitrate, 0.31g of urea and 0.35g of hexamethylenetetramine, transferring the mixed solution B into a 100mL stainless steel autoclave lined with Teflon, carrying out hydrothermal reaction for 12 hours at 100 ℃, rinsing the autoclave with deionized water, and calcining the rinsed autoclave for 1 hour at 450 ℃ to remove residual organic compounds, thereby obtaining the ZnO nanowire array/three-dimensional nitrogen-doped rGO nanotube composite material.
Performance analysis was performed on the ZnO nanowire array/three-dimensional nitrogen-doped rGO nanotube composite material prepared in example 1.
FIG. 1(a) is an XRD spectrum of GO, N-RGO, ZnO/N-RGO and ZnO, and a Cu-Ka light source is adopted to perform phase structure analysis on a prepared sample by using a D/Max-2500 type X-ray diffractometer.
From fig. 1(a), it can be seen that the X-ray diffraction pattern of GO has a main peak at about 2 q-10 °, corresponding to a lattice spacing of about 0.9 nm. After flame heat treatment with ethanol, this peak disappeared, and a new broad diffraction peak appeared around 24 °, indicating that GO was efficiently reduced to rGO. For pure zinc oxide, there are several characteristic diffraction peaks corresponding to hexagonal phase ZnO, and after combining with N-rGO, the characteristic peaks of ZnO can be clearly observed, but because of the lower content of N-rGO, no diffraction peak of N-rGO is observed in the figure.
FIG. 1(b) is a TG curve of melamine foam, N-rGO, ZnO/N-rGO and ZnO; thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was carried out using FC-60A (Shimadzu Japan) in air at 10 ℃ for min-1The temperature rise rate of (3).
As can be seen from fig. 1(b), melamine starts to decompose at about 400 ℃. Thus, the calcination temperature of the ethanol flame (about 550 ℃) is high enough to disintegrate the melamine foam template and generate N-containing material, inducing the formation of N-doped rGO nanotubes with a 3D framework. The weight loss of the ZnO sample was negligible, while the weight loss of the ZnO/N-rGO composite sample was about 4.0 wt.%, indicating that the ZnO/N-rGO sample contained about 4.0 wt.% of N-rGO.
To further confirm the presence of the carbon material on the ZnO/N-rGO catalyst, raman spectroscopy was performed. FIG. 1(c) is a Raman spectrum of GO, NrGO, ZnO/N-RGO and ZnO with 633nm Ar+A raman spectrum of the sample was obtained using a raman spectrometer (manufactured by Renishaw invia, UK) with a laser as an excitation light source.
As can be seen in FIG. 1(c), the Raman spectrum of N-rGO is around 1350cm-1And 1600cm-1There are two main peaks, corresponding to disordered sp respectively2Carbon (D band) and ordered graphite (G band). Furthermore, the D/G intensity ratio of the N-rGO samples increased (from 0.93 to 1.04) compared to the GO precursor, indicating a reduction in GO, these two characteristic peaks of rGO being clearly observable in ZnO/N. In addition, the ZnO can be detected at 436cm on the composite sample-1(E2) The presence of N-rGO and ZnO is further confirmed.
FIG. 1(d) ATR-FTIR spectra of GO and N-rGO, with attenuated Total reflectance fluorescence transfer Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) analysis of GO and N-rGO functional groups. As can be seen in FIG. 1(d), for GO, 1723cm-1、1620cm-1、1374cm-1、1223cm-1And 1027cm-1Peaks of (a) may be assigned to C ═ O, aromatic C ═ C groups, carboxyl groups C-O, epoxide/ether groups C-O-C, and alkoxy/alkoxy groups C-OH stretching vibrations, respectively. However, all of these non-sp2The carbon bonds were either reduced or disappeared after ethanol flame treatment, which means that GO was reduced to rGO, the successful formation of N-doped rGO.
The ZnO nanowire array/three-dimensional nitrogen-doped rGO nanotube composite material prepared in example 1 was used to perform adsorption performance analysis.
FIG. 2 is a plot of the nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms and corresponding pore size distribution curves for ZnO, ZnO/N-rGO and N-rGO. The nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms for all samples were type IV, indicating the presence of mesopores, according to the Brunauer-Deming-teller (bddt) classification. Furthermore, all samples had slit-like pores in the high pressure range of 0.8-1.0, due to stacking of graphene nanoplatelets and crossing of ZnO nanowires. At high pressure (P/P0) (close to 1.0), the isotherms of all samples showed higher adsorption, which means that large mesopores and macropores were formed. Wherein, the aperture of ZnO/N-rGO is mainly distributed at about 40nm, which is caused by the hierarchical structure formed on the surface of ZnO/N-rGO.
TABLE 1 specific surface area (SBET), pore volume and CO2 adsorption for ZnO, N-rGO and ZnO/N-rGO samples
Figure BDA0003103397090000081
Table 1 calculates the specific surface area, pore volume and CO2 adsorption capacity of ZnO, N-rGO and ZnO/N-rGO samples, and it can be seen from Table 1 that the ZnO/N-rGO has the highest BET specific surface area and pore volume due to the unique three-dimensional porous framework structure, so that enough active centers can be provided, and charge transfer and diffusion kinetics are facilitated, thereby improving the photocatalytic performance.
FIG. 3 shows ZnO, ZnO/N-rGO, GO and N-rGO vs. CO2Adsorption isotherm of (1). As can be seen from FIG. 3, pure zinc oxide exhibits very low CO due to its low specific surface area and poor surface properties2Adsorption capacity; GO shows higher CO due to a two-dimensional layered structure with abundant functional groups on the surface2Adsorption capacity; N-rGO shows stronger CO than GO2Adsorption capacity, which can be attributed to the sp content in N-rGO22D planes of bonded carbon atoms and a unique 3D porous skeletal structure. In addition, the alkalinity of the carbonaceous metal ore can be further improved by N doping, and Lewis-acid (CO) is used for improving the alkalinity of the carbonaceous metal ore2) the/Lewis-base (N atom) interaction serves to anchor the CO2The alkaline site function of (3); ZnO/N-rGO composite material pair CO2Has stronger adsorption capacity and is beneficial to CO2Molecular activation and photocatalytic CO2Acceleration of the reduction reaction.
To analyze the change in surface chemical composition and electron density of the samples, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements were performed on an ESCALAB 250Xi electron spectrometer using Al K α as the light source.
FIG. 4(a) is XPS measurement spectra of N-rGO, ZnO/N-rGO and ZnO (A) as described in examples of the present invention, FIGS. 4(b) - (d) are high resolution XPS spectra of C1s, N1b, Zn2p, respectively, for different samples, FIG. 4 demonstrates the presence of elements in the N-rGO, ZnO/N-rGO and ZnO samples, and the spectra of C and N clearly demonstrate that N has been successfully doped into the RGO lattice. The mode of doping N atoms is shown in fig. 4 (e).
Compared with pure N-rGO, the combination energy of pyridine type N, pyrrole type N and graphite type N in ZnO/N-rGO moves to the direction of low combination energy, which shows that the electron density of N-rGO is increased. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4(d), the opposite shifts of Zn2p and N1s in ZnO/N-rGO reveal the transfer of electrons from ZnO to N-RGO, and these results clearly demonstrate an efficient path for the rapid transfer of electrons from ZnO to N-RGO, which facilitates charge separation in photocatalytic reactions.
To test photocatalytic CO of the prepared samples2Reduction performance. Photocatalytic CO (carbon monoxide) by adopting ZnO nanowire array/three-dimensional nitrogen-doped rGO nanotube composite material prepared in example 12Reduction test, the procedure was as follows:
first, 100mg of photocatalyst was introduced into a reactor, and 15mL of deionized water was added to the reactor to disperse the photocatalyst; then, drying the dispersion at 80 ℃, forming a layer of film at the bottom of the reactor, and sealing and blowing the film for 30min by using nitrogen to form an anaerobic state; using NaHCO in the reactor3(84mg, charged to the reactor before sealing) and 2mol L-1H of (A) to (B)2Chemical reaction of aqueous SO4 solution (0.2mL, sealed and injected into the reactor) to produce CO2And H2O steam; then, the reactor was placed under a 300W xenon lamp (vertical 10cm) for 1 hour, and finally 1ml of the mixed gas was extracted from the reactor and measured by GC2014C gas chromatograph (Shimadzu, Japan) equipped with a Flame Ionization Detector (FID). By using13CO2The carbon source was verified by isotopic tracing experiments. Except that isotopically labelled sodium bicarbonate (NaH) is used13CO3Cambridge isotope laboratory Co., USA) and H2SO4CO produced from aqueous solution2And H2In addition, after 1 hour of photocatalytic reaction, 250. mu.L of the mixed gas was taken out of the reactor, and the product was analyzed with a gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (6980N network GC system-5975 inert mass selective detector, Agilent technologies, USA).
FIG. 5(a) is a graph of photocatalytic CO of N-rGO, pure ZnO, ZnO/N-rGO and commercial ZnO (c-ZnO) under 300W xenon lamp illumination2Reduction of CH3OH Performance comparison plot showing photocatalytic CO of prepared samples2Reduction performance. As can be seen from fig. 5(a), the control experiment confirmed that no reduction product was detected in the absence of photocatalyst, carbon source or light. These results clearly show that CO2The photocatalytic reduction of (a) is indeed carried out by a photocatalytic reaction, which does not show photocatalytic activity due to the zero-band-gap characteristic of N-rGO. Meanwhile, the photoproduction electron-hole pair has high recombination speed, small specific surface area and CO2Poor absorption capacity, photocatalytic production of CH from pure ZnO and commercial ZnO prepared3The OH performance is relatively low. In contrast, ZnO/N-RGO has a higher CH3OH formation rate of 1.51mmol h-1g-1About 2.3 times as much as pure ZnO. Photocatalytic CO2The improvement in reduction activity is attributed to its unique three-dimensional porous framework structure and the advantages of N-rGO.
FIG. 5(b) is a schematic view of13CO2And12CO2CH generated on ZnO/N-rGO sample as carbon source3GC-MS spectrum of OH, as can be seen in FIG. 5(b), produced CH3OH does come from carbon dioxide rather than contaminated carbon species in the sample13CO2And12CO2the isotope peak of m/z 33.1 detected in the photocatalytic reduction of (1) can be attributed to13CH3OH, indicating that the photo-reduction product is derived from13CO2
Fig. 6 is a photocatalysis mechanism of a ZnO/N-rGO nanocomposite, and fig. 6(a) is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional porous structure of ZnO/N-rGO according to an embodiment of the present invention, and first, N-rGO has a huge three-dimensional porous framework and a large specific surface area, and can be used as a suitable carrier for uniform growth of a ZnO nanowire array (see fig. 6 a). The uniform and compact growth of ZnO nanowire arrays on N-rGO facilitates the formation of heterojunctions between these two components. Secondly, the N-rGO can be used as an electron acceptor and a electron transporter, and photogenerated electrons in a conduction band of the N-rGO can be well transferred to the NrGO, so that the separation of holes and electrons is facilitated. In addition, graphite N in the N-rGO can be used as an electron migration activation region, so that electrons can be rapidly and effectively transferred from ZnO to pyrroleNitrogen and pyridine nitrogen. On the other hand, pyrrole and pyridine N on the edges or defects of N-rGO can act as CO due to interaction of Lewis acid-base and hydrogen bonds2Adsorbed and activated active centers. Thus, with the aid of multiple electrons and protons, CO2Reduced to methanol on pyrrole and pyridine N. On the other hand, water molecules can be oxidized to oxygen by photogenerated holes in the valence band of ZnO, while the remaining protons will participate in CO2And (4) carrying out reduction reaction. In addition, the three-dimensional layered porous framework structure enables ZnO/N-rGO to have higher specific surface area and larger pore volume, provides numerous transfer channels for molecular diffusion dynamics, and improves the utilization efficiency of light due to reflection and scattering of light. In general, the 3DN-rGO nanotube framework can be used as a promoter with three functions, supports the uniform growth of a ZnO nanotube, effectively improves the separation of electron-hole pairs, and plays a role in adsorbing and reducing an active center by CO 2. Due to these advantages, the ZnO/N-rGO composite material can obtain excellent photocatalytic reduction of CO2And (4) performance.
