Description

Mononuclear cobalt complex, and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a mononuclear cobalt complex, a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the field of electrocatalysts.
Background
In the context of artificial photosynthesis, oxygen evolution reactions (OER, 2H)2O→O2+4H++4e-) A particularly challenging reaction is the kinetic bottleneck for the direct storage of solar energy in chemical fuels by water splitting processes. Since it is difficult to achieve multi-step electron/proton transfer by forming O — O bonds, the reaction kinetics is slow; therefore, active and stable catalysts are needed to reduce this barrier to promote the highly active rapid oxidation water reaction in aqueous media.
At present, the research of the water oxidizing agent by utilizing the complex of the noble metals ruthenium and iridium has certain results, so that the search for the first row of analogues which are cheap and rich in earth as substitutes is very attractive. In order to form the high oxidation state metal of the catalytically active site, the metal complex catalysts generally need to be operated at relatively high overpotentials. This means that the catalytic oxidation of water by such metal complexes requires harsh conditions, and the ligand must be designed to stabilize the high oxidation state of the metal center and strongly resist the degradation of the ligand.
Therefore, the current metal complex mainly selects noble metals to reduce the requirements on the performance of the ligand, but the cost is undoubtedly increased; or the first row transition metal is selected, but the typical ligand selection of the metal cannot stably exist in the catalytic water oxidation process due to the lack of sufficient electron donor power or the incapability of adapting to the oxidation condition, is easy to degrade, or can only play a catalytic role in an alkaline environment, and cannot meet the practical requirement.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to overcome the defects in the prior art, the invention firstly discloses a mononuclear cobalt complex, a preparation method and application thereof.
In order to solve the technical problems, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
a mononuclear cobalt complex characterized by: the chemical formula is Co (bipyalk) and (OAc)2Wherein bipyalk is 2,2'- ([2,2' -bipyridine ]]-6,6' -dimethyl) bis (propan-2-ol), OAc being the radical acetate.
The present application utilizes 2,2'- ([2,2' -bipyridine)]-6,6' -dimethyl) bis (propan-2-ol) fixed centre cobalt atom, alkoxy group of pyridylalkoxy compound allowing proton coupled electron transfer and its strong sigma-And pi-The donor power is beneficial for the metal to obtain a very high oxidation state. The benzyl group of the aromatic pyridine ring is protected by the methyl group, and stronger combination and degradation resistance are provided in the catalytic turnover process. In addition, the ligand has two additional benefits: its broad solubility in aqueous and non-aqueous solvents, and the anisotropic ligand field enhances the geometrically relevant redox properties of its complexes.
At present, most of the first row transition metal complexes are used as water oxidants and are mainly carried out under alkaline conditions or only carried out in organic solvents, wherein part of the first row transition metal complexes have poor solubility in water and organic systems and can only be plated on the surfaces of FTO or ITO. The mononuclear cobalt complex can be dissolved in water and an organic solvent, can be used for preparing oxygen by electrocatalytic oxidation of water under neutral and acidic conditions, has no degradation phenomenon after electrocatalysis, and has high catalytic efficiency and overpotential lower than that of the existing cobalt complex.
By utilizing the mononuclear cobalt complex, the oxidation of water is expanded to an acidic environment, the application range of the metal complex catalyst is expanded to the acidic environment, the selectable range of an oxygen evolution environment is increased, and the oxygen evolution environment is more flexible.
The mononuclear cobalt complexes of the present application have the following structural formula (i):
Figure BDA0002979701100000021
secondly, the application also discloses a preparation method of the mononuclear cobalt complex, which comprises the following steps: dissolving cobalt acetate tetrahydrate and bipyalk in ethanol, stirring and reacting for 6-7 hours at the temperature of 50-60 ℃ in a light-proof environment, taking out and carrying out rotary evaporation, adding n-hexane, and crystallizing at the temperature of-30 to-50 ℃ in the light-proof environment to obtain the mononuclear cobalt complex.
Bipyalk in this application refers to 2,2' - ([2,2' -bipyridine ] -6,6' -dimethyl) bis (propan-2-ol).
In order to improve the reaction efficiency and ensure the quality of the obtained product, the molar ratio of the cobalt acetate tetrahydrate to the bipyalk is 1.0-1.4: 1, the excessive cobalt acetate tetrahydrate is beneficial to complete reaction of bipyalk, the ligand loss is reduced, and the production cost is reduced.
The molar ratio of ethanol to bipyalk was 500-700: 1, the excessive ethanol can ensure the sufficient dissolution of bipyalk on one hand, and on the other hand, the large polarity of the ethanol is utilized, which is beneficial to improving the reaction efficiency and is beneficial to the next step of separating out single crystals.
The molar ratio of n-hexane to bipyalk is 40-60: 1, the mixture of n-hexane with small polarity and ethanol with large polarity is beneficial to separating out single crystals, and meanwhile, the concentration is also close to the saturated concentration as much as possible, so that the difficulty of growing the single crystals is reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.
The application also discloses application of the mononuclear cobalt complex in electrocatalytic water oxidation, and the mononuclear cobalt complex can be used as a water oxidant in an aqueous solution or an organic solution containing water and used for electrocatalytic oxidation of water to prepare oxygen. The preparation method specifically comprises the steps of dissolving the mononuclear cobalt complex in DMF (dimethyl formamide) and taking an organic electrolyte as a supporting electrolyte; the mononuclear cobalt complex is dissolved in water, and the pH value of the solution is adjusted by phosphoric acid or boric acid, so that the electrocatalytic oxidation of water to prepare oxygen can be realized under a lower overpotential. The mononuclear cobalt complex has the advantages of wide application system and capability of meeting different requirements.
Meanwhile, when the mononuclear cobalt complex is used as a water oxidant in aqueous solution, the mononuclear cobalt complex can work under the condition of pH 3-7. At present, water oxidation under acidic conditions is not achieved by many metal complexes, high concentrations of protons disrupt their structure leading to dissociation, and they do not have sufficient catalytic efficiency even if stably present, because higher proton concentrations are more detrimental to water oxidation.
The prior art is referred to in the art for techniques not mentioned in the present invention.

Comparative example 1
The CoH is prepared using the documents Dilek.Doguttan, Robert McGuire, Jr., and Daniel G.Nocera.Electrocatalytic Water Oxidation by Cobalt (III) Handman β -Octafluoro Corroles.J.am.Chem.Soc.2011,133, 9178-9180βFCX-CO2H(HβFCX ═ β -octafluoro hangmancorrol), and then CoH was added theretoβFCX-CO2H was plated on FTO surface using Nafion in a pure water system, pH was adjusted to 7 with phosphoric acid, catalytic current was only 1/4 for the mononuclear cobalt complexes of the present application at 1.4V (vs silver chloride electrode), and overpotential was as high as 600 mV. In comparative example 1, when the reaction system was adjusted to be acidic, no oxygen generation was detected at 1.4V.
Comparative example 2
Co is prepared using the documents Dong Wang and John T.G. group. effective water oxidation catalysis of by homology proteins with crystalline acids for the buffer base, Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.U.S.A.2013, 110,15579-15584IITDMImP (TDMImP is 5,10,15, 20-tetra- (1, 3-dimethylimidazol-2-yl) porphyrin), mixing Co with CoIITDMImP was placed in a pure water system, adjusted to pH 7 with phosphoric acid, at a concentration twice that of application example 2, and at 1.4V (relative to a silver-silver chloride electrode) the catalytic current was only 1/8-1/9 for the mononuclear cobalt complexes of the present application, and the overpotential was 580 mV. In comparative example 2, when the reaction system was adjusted to be acidic, no oxygen generation was detected at 1.4V.
Because water oxidation is a deprotonation reaction, the higher the proton concentration is, the more unfavorable the water oxidation is, therefore, under the acidic condition, the difficulty of the water oxidation is increased, and the water oxidation tends to be more difficult along with the enhancement of the acidity.
