The invention discloses a ferro-
nickel oxyhydroxide-modified
bismuth vanadate photoelectrode and a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, depositing
bismuth oxyiodide on the surface of conductive glass, then
coating the surface with the deposited
bismuth oxyiodide with a
dimethyl sulfoxide solution of
vanadyl acetylacetonate, annealing, performing alkali soaking and rinsing with water to remove excessive
vanadium pentoxide, and then
drying to obtain a
bismuth vanadate photoelectrode, and modifying ferro-
nickel oxyhydroxide on the surface of the
bismuth vanadate photoelectrode by adopting a
cyclic voltammetry method in a three-
electrode system, thus obtaining the ferro-
nickel oxyhydroxide-modified
bismuth vanadate photoelectrode. The invention further discloses applications of the ferro-nickel oxyhydroxide-modified bismuth
vanadate photoelectrode in photoelectrocatalytic
decomposition water. The prepared photoelectrode is used for producing
hydrogen from photoelectrocatalytic
decomposition water, can inhibit the compounding of
photon-generated carriers, the service life of carriers generated by a BiVO4 photoelectrode can be effectively prolonged, and the
oxygen evolution reaction on the surface of the photoelectrode can be promoted, so that the solar optic
hydrogen conversion efficiency of a
semiconductor photoelectrode can be improved.
