Abstract

The invention discloses an antimony sulfide-based heterojunction photocathode and its preparation method and application. The structure consists of conductive glass, antimony sulfide light-absorbing layer, ultra-thin titanium dioxide layer and promoter layer from bottom to top. The antimony sulfide light-absorbing layer has a network structure; the thickness of the ultra-thin titanium dioxide layer is 5-10nm. The preparation method is as follows: sequentially depositing an antimony sulfide light-absorbing layer, an evenly covered ultra-thin titanium dioxide layer, and a co-catalyst layer on the conductive glass. In the present invention, the antimony sulfide material with nano-morphology is used as the light-absorbing material of the photocathode for the first time, and a photoelectrode with strong light absorption in the visible spectrum and high photoresponse characteristics is obtained through structural design. The equipment used in the invention is simple, easy to operate, and the preparation process is green and non-toxic. The photoelectrode film grows uniformly and has good crystal quality, which is conducive to large-scale production and application, and has broad development prospects.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of photoelectric catalysis, and in particular relates to an antimony sulfide-based heterojunction photocathode, a preparation method and application thereof. Background technique [0002] Hydrogen energy is one of the most efficient and clean energy sources, and the utilization of hydrogen energy is of great significance to energy shortage and environmental protection. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is an important method to convert solar energy into hydrogen energy. The challenge for the large-scale application of photocatalytic water splitting is how to prepare photoelectrodes with high efficiency, low cost and good stability. In recent years, antimony sulfide has attracted attention due to its superior visible light properties. Antimony sulfide is a stable V-VI inorganic compound semiconductor material. It is abundant in the earth's crust and is non-toxic. Antimony sulfide is a direct bandgap semico...
