The invention relates to a method for
hydrogen production through photoelectric iron concerted
catalysis of
biomass reforming, which comprises the following steps: placing
biomass and derivatives thereof in an
aqueous solution, adding an iron salt catalyst and an inorganic
sodium salt or
lithium salt
electrolyte, and bubbling to remove
oxygen; a
graphite electrode is used as an
anode, Ni, Cu, Mg or a
graphite electrode is used as a
cathode, a current of 1-50 mA is introduced for
electrolysis, an illumination reaction is carried out at 20-40 DEG C, the illumination intensity is 3-20 W, and the illumination
wavelength is 400-480 nm; after the reaction is finished, the
hydrogen yield is measured through GC, and the
hydrogen yield is calculated according to
hydrogen production through photocatalytic glucose reforming; under the conditions of normal temperature, normal pressure and no addition of additives, a photoelectric combination mode is adopted, cheap non-
noble metal iron is used as a catalyst, iron and
biomass molecules form a complex, and the complex is subjected to a ligand-to-
metal charge transfer process (LMCT) under the condition of visible light, so that C-C bonds of the biomass molecules are sequentially broken to
carbon dioxide and protons, and the
carbon dioxide and the protons are obtained. And
hydrogen desorption is carried out by using electrochemical
cathode reduction protons, so that efficient conversion of
hydrogen production by reforming biomass with water is completed.
