通过硅烷化反应在氧化石墨烯(Graphene oxide,GO)表面嫁接螯合官能团N-(三甲氧基硅丙烷)乙二胺三酸(EDTA-Si),得到改性氧化石墨烯(GO-EDTA),采用分子动力学模拟在分子水平上研究了Pb(2+)在GO-EDTA表面的动态吸附分布、构象及动力学性质,比较了Pb(2+)和单价Na+离子在氧化石墨烯上的吸附行为,模拟了GO-EDTA与Ca(2+)相互作用,与Pb(2+)的吸附行为进行了对比.模拟结果表明,Pb(2+)和Na+的吸附位点是GO-EDTA体系中的羧基,而非氧化石墨烯表面的羟基;Pb(2+)和Na+与羧基的吸附构象不同,前者吸附构象以摩尔比2∶1为主,即两个羧基对一个Pb(2+)离子,而后者更多倾向于摩尔比1∶1的吸附模式,即一个羧基对一个Na+离子;Pb(2+)离子相对于Ca(2+)和Na+离子,形成的COO--Pb(2+)离子对构象越过的能垒最低,但是破坏该离子对构象时能垒较高,表明Pb(2+)离子在氧化石墨烯膜上表现出良好的吸附性.
The chelating groups N- (trimethoxysilylpropyl) ethylenediamine triacetic acid (EDTA-silane) were linked to graphene oxide (GO) surfaces through a silanization reaction, and this modified GO (GO-EDTA) was used to remove the heavy metal in the solution. By using molecular dynamics simulation at the molecular level, the absorption distribution, dynamic properties of Pb2+ on the GO-EDTA surface were investigated, the different absorption behaviors of Pb2+ and Na+ between GO and GO-EDTA systems were compared. At the same time, the interaction between GO-EDTA and Ca2+ was simulated, which was comparable to the adsorption behavior of Pb2+. The simulation result shows that : ( 1 ) the adsorption sites of Pb2+ and Na+ are the carboxyl groups in the GO-EDTA system, rather than the hydroxyl groups on graphene oxide surface; (2) the absorption conformations of Pb2+ and Na+ to carboxyl groups are different. For Pb2+ ions, they form the 2 : 1 type with carboxyl group, i.e. one Pb2+ ion combines with two carboxyl groups; while for Na+ ions, it is the 1 : 1 type, i.e. one Na+ ion combines with one carboxyl group; (3) comparison with Ca2+ and Na+ ion, the energy barrier of forming COO-Pb2+ ion pair conformation is lowest while the energy barrier to break this conformation is higher. This result indicates that the Pb2+ ions are adsorbed well on GO and GO-EDTA films.
