摘要:

传统污水处理工艺在去除痕量浓度的新兴有机污染物(如活性药物)方面具有一定的局限性, 亟需开发高效的深度处理工艺以满足日益严格的排放要求. 目前, 非均相类芬顿工艺因其显著的去除效率展现出广阔的应用前景. 然而, 催化剂的设计仍是推动该工艺发展的关键因素. 近年来, 非对称单原子催化剂(ASACs)因其优异的催化性能而受到广泛关注, 但如何实现高金属负载, 精准调控自旋态以及阐明配位环境与催化性能之间的关系等方面仍面临挑战. 因此, 设计具有高自旋构型和非对称配位的催化剂, 有望通过促进类芬顿反应中d-p轨道杂化, 提升污染物降解效率, 从而推动高级氧化技术的发展.

本文通过原位生成碳缺陷的方法, 成功设计了高负载钴的ASACs (CoN1C2/C2N), 其将钴单原子锚定在三维花状结构的C2N基底上. 采用X射线吸收精细结构和高角度环形暗场扫描透射电子显微镜对催化剂的非对称配位和单原子形貌进行了确认. 通过M-T曲线拟合和密度泛函理论计算揭示了由于非对称配位的引入Co活性位点的电子自旋态从低自旋态(LS, t2g6eg1)转变为高自旋态(HS, t2g5eg2). 与对称结构的CoN2/C2N催化剂中Co 3d未配对电子n ≈ 1相比, CoN1C2/C2N中Co 3d具有更多的未配对电子(n ≈ 3), 这使其表现出更强的从HSO5-的O 2p轨道获取电子的能力, 进而促进了类芬顿反应中的d-p轨道杂化. 实验结果表明, 优化后的CoN1C2/C2N在医药废水深度氧化处理中表现出卓越的催化活性, 3 min内通过活化过一硫酸盐(PMS)实现对磺胺氯哒嗪钠(SCP)的降解效率达到100%, 周转频率值为36.8 min-1, 与现有催化剂相比展示出优异的催化活性. 此外, 该催化剂在宽pH范围内以及阴阳离子共存条件下, 降解效果几乎不受影响, 显示出较好的普适性. 通过对不同反应体系降解机制的研究, 结果表明, 不同的基底会选择性生成不同的活性氧物种(ROSs). 当负载基底为C2N时, 体系中主要ROSs为单线态氧(1O2)为主; 而当负载基底为C3N4时, 主要ROSs包括羟基自由基(OH), 硫酸根自由基(SO4•−)和 1O2. 进一步理论计算结果证实, 当催化剂CoN1C2/C2N与PMS作用时, 具有高自旋构型的HS Co 3d-O 2p的σ*轨道中的自旋电子填充加速了 *SO5•−的脱附, 该过程为反应动力学中的限速步骤, 从而促进了更多 1O2生成, 最终实现了高效的催化效果.

综上所述, 本文报道了具有高自旋构型和非对称配位的CoN1C2/C2N催化剂在活化PMS降解SCP方面的优异性能, 并深入探究了其机理. 系统研究了在非均相类芬顿反应体系中, 高效的d-p轨道杂化是提升催化性能的关键. 本研究不仅为非对称配位与金属位点自旋态之间的关系提供了宝贵的见解, 还阐明了σ*轨道在ROSs生成中的重要作用, 为环境修复和能源转化领域的应用发展提供了新思路.

Abstract:

Asymmetric single-atom catalysts (ASACs) have attracted much attention owing to their excellent catalytic properties. However, the relationship between asymmetric coordination and the spin states of metal sites remains unclear. Additionally, the modulation of reactive oxygen species in Fenton-like reactions remains challenging. Herein, a novel strategy is reported for the rational design of highly loaded Co ASACs (CoN1C2/C2N) immobilized on three-dimensional flower-like C2N using an in situ-generated carbon defect method. In particular, the asymmetrically tricoordinated CoN1C2/C2N exhibited excellent catalytic activity for sulfachloropyridazine degradation, with a turnover frequency of 36.8 min-1. Experimental results and theoretical calculations revealed that the electron spin state of the Co-active sites was transferred from the low-spin configuration (t2g6eg1) to the high-spin configuration (t2g5eg2) owing to asymmetric coordination. The high-spin Co 3d orbital in CoN1C2/C2N possessed more unpaired electrons and therefore, had a strong ability to gain electrons from the O 2p orbitals of HSO5-, boosting d-p orbital hybridization. More importantly, the spin-electron filling in the σ* orbital of high-spin Co 3d−O 2p accelerated the desorption of *SO5•−, which acted as a rate-limiting step in the reaction, thus facilitating more 1O2 generation. This study provides an innovative synthetic route for practical ASACs and clarifies the critical relationship between structure and spin state, paving the way for advancements in environmental remediation and energy conversion applications.
