The invention relates to a
hydrogen material from photocatalytic water
decomposition. The target compound is a
perovskite structured material with a
chemical formula of Sr2 / 3Zn1 / 3TiO3. Belonging to the cubic
system, the compound has a
space group of Pm-3m and the unit
cell parameters of a=3.90-3.95??, b=3.90-3.95??, c=3.90-3.95??, a=89-91??, b=89-91??, g=89-91??, and Z=1. Induced by the
ultraviolet light with a
wavelength of 150-300 nanometers, and with
ethanol as the sacrifice agent, the material of the invention can have high
photocatalysis efficiency, and can reach a
hydrogen production rate of 73.2??mol*h<-1>*g<-1> without a
precious metal cocaralyst. The material of the invention has the advantages of: 1. simple
sol-
gel preparation method, low production cost, high synthetic yield, high purity and good
repeatability, thus satisfying the requirements of expanded production; 2. good
thermostability, strong acid and alkali resistance; 3. and good effect of
hydrogen production from photocatalytic water
decomposition.
