Abstract

A hollow nanoflower material CuCo₂O₄@NFs with abundant oxygen vacancies (V_O) and cobalt vacancies (V_Co) was prepared by a simple method. The novel material CuCo₂O₄@NFs showed excellent oxidation activity, cleaving the β-O-4 bond in lignin model compounds. Conversion of the substrate was as high as 99.02 %, and the yield of the main product, phenol, reached 49.50 %. Structural analysis showed that the petal and cavity form of the material increased its specific surface area, which facilitated its full contact with O₂ molecules. Moreover, the V_O generated by lattice oxygen detachment during annealing favor the adsorption of O₂, and the V_Co generated through lattice distortion induced by Cu-metal doping promoted the detachment of oxygen intermediates. The synergy of these two defects improved the rate of the rate-limiting step. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the synergistic effect of V_O and V_Co narrowed the gap between the Fermi energy levels and the d-band center, thereby enhancing electron mobility. Finally, excellent recyclability of CuCo₂O₄@NFs was confirmed through cycling experiments. The application of this material provided technical support for the efficient cracking of lignin into high-value-added chemicals and realized the effective utilization of woody biomass resources.

制备具有丰富 VO/VCo 的 CuCo2O4@NFs 纳米花材料：氧化断裂木质素 β-O-4 键的优良催化剂

通过简单的方法制备了一种具有丰富氧空位（VO）和钴空位（VCo）的中空纳米花材料 CuCo2O4@NFs。这种新型材料 CuCo2O4@NFs 具有优异的氧化活性，能裂解木质素模型化合物中的β-O-4 键。底物的转化率高达 99.02%，主要产物苯酚的产率达到 49.50%。结构分析表明，该材料的花瓣和空腔形式增加了其比表面积，有利于其与氧气分子充分接触。此外，退火过程中晶格氧脱离产生的 VO 有利于 O2 的吸附，而掺杂铜金属引起的晶格畸变产生的 VCo 则促进了氧中间产物的脱离。这两种缺陷的协同作用提高了限速步骤的速率。密度泛函理论计算显示，VO 和 VCo 的协同效应缩小了费米能级与 d 带中心之间的间隙，从而提高了电子迁移率。最后，通过循环实验证实了 CuCo2O4@NFs 极佳的可回收性。该材料的应用为木质素高效裂解为高附加值化学品提供了技术支持，实现了木质生物质资源的有效利用。
