The invention belongs to the field of environmental catalyst synthesis and discloses a
graphene-based hollow
cobaltous sulfide nanocrystal capable of efficiently activating
persulfate and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: growing a
zeolite-type imidazate frame 67 on the surface of
graphene oxide by a
precipitation method; taking the imidazate frame67 as a self-template, taking
thioacetamide as a
sulfur source, and preparing cobaltosic
sulfide of a hollow structure by virtue of a
solvothermal reaction; and finally, calcining in an
inert atmosphere, converting the cobaltosic
sulfide into hollow
cobaltous sulfide by virtue of desulfurization reaction, and reducing
graphene oxide into graphene, thereby obtaining the graphene-based hollow
cobaltous sulfide nanocrystal. The hollow cobaltous
sulfide nanocrystal prepared by the method disclosed by the invention has the advantages of high catalytic activity, high free radical yield, simple recycling and the like, can achieve the effects of enhancing the conventional oxidation method, obviously shortening the reaction time and greatly reducing the usage amount of the catalyst and
oxidizing agent, and has obvious technical and economic advantages.
