Abstract

The invention relates to a ferroelectric composite Cu2O visible light water photolysis hydrogen production photocathode and a preparing method thereof. The photocathode is sequentially composed of a BiFeO3 ferroelectric film layer, a gold nano-rod granular layer, a Cu2O film layer and a silicon wafer substrate from top to bottom, and heterojunctions are formed between the Cu2O film layer and the BiFeO3 ferroelectric film layer. According to the ferroelectric composite Cu2O visible light water photolysis hydrogen production photocathode and the preparing method of the photocathode, adverse effects of energy band barriers between the Cu2O film layer and the BiFeO3 ferroelectric film layer are eliminated through gold nano-rod granules by means of the LSPR effect, absorption of visible light with the wave length ranging from 650 nm-750 nm is strengthened, the Cu2O film layer is protected by the BiFeO3 ferroelectric film layer, residual polarization electric fields are used for eliminatingupwarp barriers on photoelectrode / electrolyte interfaces, the water photolysis efficiency and the hydrogen production efficiency are improved, the light current density reaches 91 microampere / cm<2>, and the threshold voltage relative to a reversible hydrogen electrode reaches 1.01 V.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of photoelectrochemical technology, in particular to ferroelectric composite Cu 2 O visible light photolysis of water hydrogen production photocathode and its preparation method. Background technique [0002] Hydrogen production through photoelectrochemical cell absorption and utilization of solar energy for photolysis of water is a promising renewable energy technology. Semiconductor photoelectrodes with high hydrogen production efficiency and stability are the most important components of photoelectrochemical cells. [0003] Semiconductor photoelectrodes are divided into photoanodes that generate oxygen and photocathode that generate hydrogen. At present, the common photocathodes are mainly realized by p-type semiconductors, and the number is small. As a common photocathode material, Cu 2 O has the characteristics of p-type conductivity, absorption and utilization of visible light, and an energy band structure s...
