Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a method of preparing a Ni active site-loaded C—Si aerogel catalyst, and a product and use thereof, belonging to the technical field of catalyst preparation. The method includes the following steps: (1) dissolving absolute ethanol, trimethoxymethylsilane, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and HCl in deionized water, conducting hydrolysis to obtain a hydrolyzate, followed by adjusting a pH value of the hydrolyzate to 7 to 8.5, and drying to obtain a C—Si aerogel; and (2) in the absolute ethanol, mixing NiCl 2 .6H 2 O with the C—Si aerogel obtained in step (1) uniformly, and conducting ultrasonication, impregnation and drying, followed by calcination to obtain the Ni active site-loaded C—Si aerogel catalyst. In the present disclosure, the prepared Ni active site-loaded C—Si aerogel catalyst is capable of conducting catalytic degradation of aromatic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at room temperature.

What is claimed is:

1. A method of preparing a Ni active site-loaded C—Si aerogel catalyst, comprising the steps of:
(1) dissolving absolute ethanol, trimethoxymethylsilane and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide in deionized water, adjusting a pH value to 3.5 to 5 with HCl, conducting hydrolysis to obtain a hydrolyzate, adjusting a pH value of the hydrolyzate to 7 to 8.5, and drying to obtain a C—Si aerogel; and
(2) in the absolute ethanol, mixing NiC 2 .6H 2 O with the C—Si aerogel obtained in step (1) uniformly, and conducting ultrasonication, impregnation and drying, followed by calcination to obtain the Ni active site-loaded C—Si aerogel catalyst;
wherein in step (1), the C—Si aerogel is obtained by a process, comprising:
(a) mixing the deionized water, the absolute ethanol, the trimethoxymethylsilane and the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide at a volume-to-mass ratio of (5-15) mL: (10-20) mL: (4-6) mL: (0.05-0.15) g, stirring well, adjusting the pH value to 3.5 to 5 with HCl, and conducting hydrolysis at 40° C. to 50° C. for 30 min to 60 min to obtain a hydrolyzate; and
(b) adjusting the pH value of the hydrolyzate obtained in step (a) to 7 to 8.5, followed by standing at 55° C. to 65° C. for 3.5 h to 4.5 h, and drying to obtain the C—Si aerogel;
wherein in step (b), the drying is conducted at 75° C. to 85° C. for 2 h to 2.5 h, then at 95° C. to 105° C. for 2 h to 2.5 h, and finally at 115° C. to 125° C. for 1 h to 1.5 h.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in step (2), mixing the NiCl 2 .6H 2 O and the C—Si aerogel obtained in the step (1) comprises: mixing the C—Si aerogel obtained in step (1) with the absolute ethanol according to a mass-to-volume ratio of 1 g: 10 mL, and stirring evenly to obtain a first solution; mixing the NiCl 2 .6H 2 O with the absolute ethanol according to a mass-volume ratio of (0.01-0.06) g: 10 mL, and stirring evenly to obtain a second solution; and mixing the first solution and the second solution uniformly according to a volume ratio of 1:1.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in step (2), the ultrasonication is conducted for 25 min to 35 min.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in step (2), the impregnation is conducted at 65° C. to 75° C. for 3 h to 5 h.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in step (2), the calcination is conducted at 200° C. to 400° C. for 1.5 h to 3 h with a heating rate of 3° C./min.

6. A method of preparing a Ni active site-loaded C—Si aerogel catalyst, comprising the steps of:
(1) dissolving absolute ethanol, trimethoxymethylsilane and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide in deionized water, adjusting a pH value to 3.5 to 5 with HCl, conducting hydrolysis to obtain a hydrolyzate, adjusting a pH value of the hydrolyzate to 7 to 8.5, and drying to obtain a C—Si aerogel; and
(2) in the absolute ethanol, mixing NiCl 2 .6H 2 O with the C—Si aerogel obtained in step (1) uniformly, and conducting ultrasonication, impregnation and drying, followed by calcination to obtain the Ni active site-loaded C—Si aerogel catalyst;
wherein in step (2), mixing the NiCl 2 .6H 2 O with the C—Si aerogel obtained in the step (1) comprises: mixing the C—Si aerogel obtained in step (1) with the absolute ethanol according to a mass-to-volume ratio of 1 g: 10 mL, and stirring evenly to obtain a first solution; mixing the NiCl 2 .6H 2 O with the absolute ethanol according to a mass-volume ratio of (0.01-0.06) g: 10 mL, and stirring evenly to obtain a second solution; and mixing the first solution and the second solution uniformly according to a volume ratio of 1:1.
