Photocatalytic utilization of CO in the production of value-added chemicals has presented a recent green alternative for CO fixation. In this regard, three FeNbO/NH-MIL-125(Ti) composites of different mole ratios were synthesized, characterized using Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX). PXRD patterns confirm the co-existence of the parent components in the prepared composites. Moreover, the surface area increased as the mole percent of NH-MIL-125(Ti) in the composites increased due to the large surface area of NH-MIL-125(Ti). Prepared composites were investigated for the photocatalytic insertion of CO into propylene oxide. FeNbO/NH-MIL-125(Ti) showed the highest percent yield of 52% compared to the other two composites. Results demonstrate the cooperative mechanism between FeNbO and NH-MIL-125(Ti) and that the reaction proceeded photocatalytically.
光催化利用 CO 生产高附加值化学品为 CO 固定提供了一种新的绿色替代方法。在这方面,合成了三种不同摩尔比的 FeNbO/NH-MIL-125(Ti) 复合材料,采用粉末 X 射线衍射(PXRD)、紫外可见漫反射光谱(UV-Vis DRS)、BET、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和能谱(EDX)进行了表征。PXRD 图谱证实了制备的复合材料中母体组分的共存。此外,由于 NH-MIL-125(Ti) 的比表面积较大,复合材料中 NH-MIL-125(Ti) 的摩尔百分比增加,表面积也随之增加。研究了制备的复合材料对 CO 插入环氧丙烷的光催化作用。与其他两种复合材料相比,FeNbO/NH-MIL-125(Ti) 的产率最高,达到 52%。结果表明,FeNbO 和 NH-MIL-125(Ti) 之间存在协同作用,反应是光催化进行的。
