Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of catalyst preparation, and particularly relates to a high-activity transition metal-based monolithic carbon aerogel material, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The information in this background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the general background of the invention and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or any form of suggestion that this information forms the prior art that is already known to a person of ordinary skill in the art.
Cobalt, manganese, iron oxides are important novel materials in the metal oxide family due to their excellent electronic structure, ionic conductivity, electron mobility and redox behavior. Co3O4Isospinel-type metal oxides have been widely studied and applied in various fields over the past several decades because they have a very large variability in composition and structure. Various transition metal catalysts catalyze the activation of Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to SO4 ·-SO compared with OH4 ·-Has more positive reduction potential of 2.5-3.1V (vs,. OH 1.8-2.7V), wide pH application range, high oxidation selectivity and long service life (SO)4 ·-:t1/2=30-40μs,·OH:t1/2=10-3μ s). The activation of PMS degradation pollutants by using transition metal oxides such as cobalt, manganese, iron and the like is also one of the current hot problems. However, the transition metal oxide has the defects of easy agglomeration, serious ion leaching and the like. The preparation of supported catalysts by supporting transition metals on suitable functional supports is an effective approach to solve these problems. The graphene, the carbon nano tube, the activated carbon fiber and other emerging carbonaceous materials have rich specific surface area, surface functional groups and outstanding electrical and mechanical properties, and are widely used as catalyst carriers. However, these catalysts are usually in the form of powders, and their recycling is a troublesome problem in practical use, and may cause secondary pollution. The monolithic catalyst can solve the problem of subsequent separation of the catalyst.
Although the graphene aerogel or foam metal shows higher activity and separable characteristics in the reaction of degrading organic matters by activating PMS, the inventor finds that the graphene aerogel or the foam metal has higher price, and meanwhile, the graphene aerogel has poorer mechanical properties, is easy to break to cause the loss of active components and generate secondary pollution; the specific surface area of the foamed nickel is small, the provided active site is limited, the acting force with the active component is relatively weak, and the loss of transition metal ions is inevitable in the use process of the catalyst, so that the activity of the catalyst is reduced and secondary pollution is caused.
