Abstract

The present invention relates to ion diaphragm photoelectrolytic cell structure used for photoelectricity chemical reaction, to realize no bias directly photolysis water, belonging to photoelectricity chemical technology field. Said photocell structure includes using perfluorocarboxylic acid / sulfonic acid compound ion membrane dividing container into two chambers, one for holding acid solution as acid chamber, another for holding alkali solution as alkaline chamber. Semiconductor photoelectric material is fixed on conductive glass as light anode and put in alkaline chamber, putting hydrogen separated lower overvoltage inertia cathode material in acid chamber as cathode, short-circuit anode and cathode in photoelectrolytic cell working, light radiating to light anode from alkaline chamber sides to generate hydrogen. Said invented photoelectrolytic cell utilizes respectively putting cathode and anode in different pH acid and alkaline liquor to raise both potential differences, realizing no bias direct light solution water.

Description

1. Technical field [0001] The invention relates to an ion diaphragm photoelectrolytic cell structure for photoelectrochemical reaction, which belongs to photoelectrochemical [0002] technology field. 2. Background technology [0003] In 1972, Fujishima and Honda published an article in nature for the first time, describing the semiconductor TiO 2 An electrochemical electrolyzer composed of electrodes, which converts light energy into chemical energy of hydrogen and oxygen through the method of photolysis of water. This kind of photocatalytic water splitting hydrogen production uses solar energy and water to produce hydrogen without by-products and pollution. In addition, compared with photocatalytic hydrogen production, the recombination of electron-hole pairs is reduced, so that the separation efficiency of electron-hole pairs is improved, and hydrogen and oxygen can be obtained at the two poles respectively. [0004] However, in general, the photoanode material cannot ...
