摘要： 通过三聚氰胺、双腈胺、硫脲或尿素的高温热解制备了四种比表面不同的石墨型碳化氮材料（g-C3N4），利用X射线衍射（XRD）、扫描电子显微镜（SEM）、傅里叶变换红外光谱（FTIR）、X射线光电子能谱（XPS）、热重分析（TGA）和N2吸附方法对所得材料进行结构与表面性质的表征，用CO2程序升温脱附（CO2-TPD）和酸碱滴定方法测试了其碱性。考察了这些材料对于不同溶剂中苯甲醛与丙二腈Knoevenagel缩合反应的催化活性。g-C3N4在弱极性溶剂甲苯中的催化活性很低，且活性大小与其比表面和表面碱性密切相关，而在极性溶剂乙醇中四种g-C3N4的催化活性则相差不大，且都远高于甲苯中的活性。上述结果无法用常规的碱性表征数据来解释。进一步的实验证明在极性溶剂中g-C3N4会发生溶胀，使得表面暴露更多的碱性位，因而催化活性大大提高。不同溶剂中的反应结果表明g-C3N4的溶胀效应随反应溶剂的极性增加而增强。重复利用实验表明g-C3N4在液相反应中具有良好的稳定性，其对于苯甲醛的转化率在重复利用三次后由74.2%下降至63.8%。

Abstract: Graphitic carbon nitrides (g-C3N4) with different surface areas were prepared by pyrolysis using different precursors including melamine, dicyandiamide, thiourea and urea, and subsequently characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and N2 adsorption. Their basicities were measured by temperature-programmed desorption of CO2 (CO2-TPD) and acid-base titration. The catalytic properties for the Knoevenagel condensation of benzaldehyde and malononitrile were investigated in various solvents. In non-polar toluene solution, the benzaldehyde conversions of the g-C3N4 catalysts were low and changed according to their respective surface areas and basicities. However, in polar ethanol solution, the benzaldehyde conversions of all catalysts were similar, and much higher than those in toluene. This could not be explained by the results obtained from either of the two conventional basicity measurements. Further experimental results proved that g-C3N4 catalysts swelled in polar solutions, and more basic sites were exposed on the surface of the swollen catalysts, leading to the imminent increase in catalytic activity. This was proved by the catalyst poisoning data, which showed that the g-C3N4 catalyst lost its activity completely in toluene by adding 40.9 mmol·g-1 benzoic acid, while the same catalyst was still active in ethanol until the added amount exceeded 143.3 m·g-1. Additionally, the reaction tests in various solutions showed that the swelling effect was enhanced according to the polarity of the solvent used. A similar conclusion could be reached for the Knoevenagel condensation of furfural and malononitrile in various solvents. The reusability of g-C3N4 catalyst in Knoevenagel condensation was also studied, which showed that g-C3N4 was stable in liquid-phase reactions, whose activity dropped from 74.2% to 63.8% after three regeneration processes.
