Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for producing hydrogen by splitting water, in particular to a device for producing hydrogen by splitting water without external bias. Background technique [0002] In the past researches on hydrogen production from water splitting by sunlight, there are mainly two methods, one is semiconductor photocatalytic hydrogen production, and the other is photoelectrochemical hydrogen production. [0003] Semiconductor photocatalytic hydrogen production is one of the commonly used methods for hydrogen production from water splitting by sunlight. Generally, semiconductor particles with suitable bandwidth are used as carriers, and materials with high hydrogen evolution activity (such as Pt, Rh, etc.) are used as carriers to deposit on the semiconductor particles, and then the semiconductor photocatalytic reaction is carried out under illumination. Semiconductor particles (e.g. TiO 2 , ZnO 2 etc.) have an energy band structure, ...
