Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, it also has certain defects: (1) The recombination rate of photogenerated carriers is high and the efficiency of photocatalytic reaction is low
(2) Pure TiO 2 Nanotube arrays are wide bandgap semiconductors, due to TiO 2 The band gap is wide and can only be excited by ultraviolet light with a wavelength of less than 400nm, and has no response in the visible light region, so the utilization of sunlight is low (about 5%), which limits their applications, and the intrinsic state titanium dioxide photogenerated electrons and space The hole recombination rate is relatively high, which also affects the improvement of photocatalytic efficiency.
(3) TiO 2 The barrier layer between the nanotube array and the substrate increases its resistance as an electrode material, which limits its development in the field of electrocatalysis and photoelectrocatalysis
[0004] In order to overcome the above defects, people have carried out a lot of research, but these technologies either use toxic raw materials in the preparation process, excessive preparation conditions, complex operation and poor reliability, or the prepared electrodes have poor stability, low photocatalytic activity, and do not conform to the environment. Development and market technology needs
Therefore, need a kind of raw material nontoxic in the preparation process, preparation condition is mild, simple and reliable, the prepared electrode stability is good, photocatalytic activity is high, green pollution-free, have the preparation method of photocatalytic activity of visible light photocatalytic titanium dioxide nanotube array , but there is no report in the prior art
