Problems solved by technology

[0009] The present invention aims to solve the problem that the traditional tantalum nitride nanomaterial has a small surface area, and the connection between the tantalum nitride nanotube array material and the substrate has not been firmly connected for a long time, hindering the transmission of electrons, which limits the application of the tantalum nitride nanotube array electrode in the field of photoelectric catalysis. The technical problem of the application is to provide a tantalum nitride nanotube array electrode and its preparation method. The tantalum nitride nanotube array electrode closely connected with the substrate is prepared by secondary anodic oxidation, and has good photocatalytic performance

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photoelectrochemistry, in particular to a kind of tantalum nitride (Ta 3 N 5 ) Nanotube array electrode and its preparation method. Background technique [0002] With the increasing shortage of fossil energy, the use of new green renewable energy to replace non-renewable fossil energy has become the focus of attention worldwide. Solar energy has attracted more and more attention from academic circles and the industry due to its large energy radiation, good renewable performance, and environmental friendliness. However, how to efficiently use solar energy is still a major challenge facing people. [0003] Hydrogen energy has attracted much attention among many renewable energy sources because of its high-energy, clean, and wide application fields. As a new type of hydrogen production method, the solar photoelectrochemical cell splits water to produce hydrogen, which truly realizes the green and reasonab...
