Problems solved by technology

However, there are still two fatal shortcomings in this photocatalytic material: (1) The band gap is wide (about 3.2eV), so that the threshold wavelength of its light absorption is less than 400nm, so it can only use ultraviolet light, which accounts for about 4% of solar energy. (2) Its photogenerated carriers recombine quickly, which greatly limits its quantum yield

Abstract

The invention discloses a precious metal / zinc indium sulfide / titanium dioxide nano heterostructure photocatalyst, which is characterized in that ultra-thin zinc indium sulfide nanosheets are grown on the surface of titanium dioxide nanofibers, then precious metal nanoparticles are assembled on positive and negative surfaces of the ultra-thin zinc indium sulfide nanosheets, so that precious metal / zinc indium sulfide / titanium dioxide nano heterostructure is hierarchically constructed. The preparation method includes adding glacial acetic acid, butyl titanate and polyvinylpyrrolidone into anhydrous ethanol, preparing butyl titanate / polyvinylpyrrolidone composite nanofibers by electrostatic spinning, and performing high temperature calcination to obtain titanium dioxide nanofibers; adding zinc acetate dihydrate, indium nitrate hexahydrate, cysteine and sodium hydroxide into deionized water, then adding the titanium dioxide nanofibers, and performing hydrothermal reaction to obtain zinc indium sulfide / titanium dioxide heterostructure; and activating the heterostructure in a stannous chloride aqueous solution, and then performing in-situ reduction in a precious metal brine solution. The photocatalytic material is excellent in performance of photocatalytically splitting of water into hydrogen.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a photocatalyst and a preparation method. Background technique: [0002] With the gradual depletion of fossil fuels such as coal and oil, the problem of energy shortage has become increasingly serious, and it has become a worldwide problem that plagues human existence. The birth of semiconductor photocatalysis technology not only provides a green method for environmental governance, but also opens up a promising new way for the conversion of solar energy and fuel energy. Using semiconductor nanomaterials as photocatalysts can efficiently convert low-density solar energy into high-density chemical energy. For example, hydrogen energy, one of the most ideal energy sources at present, can be obtained through photolysis of water. When it is burned, it can not only release huge energy, but also produce zero-pollution water. On the one hand, it reduces environmental pollution, and on the other hand, it effectively converts solar en...
