The invention relates to a
composite electrode material, as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of energy conversion and storage materials. The
composite electrode material provided by the invention is a ZnO / CdS / BiOI
nanorod array with a three-dimensional (3D) crosslinking heterostructure, and the ZnO / CdS / BiOI
nanorod array with the 3D crosslinking heterostructure is formed by perpendicularly and uniformly arranged one-dimensional ZnO / CdS
nanorod array and BiOI nanosheets; and the ZnO / CdS nanorod array is formed by uniformly dispersing CdS on the surface of a ZnO nanorod array. According to the
composite electrode material provided by the invention, under
visible light irradiation (
lambda is larger than 420nm), an NRAs photoanode of ZnO / CdS / BiOI shows excellent PEC activity, 9.12 mA*cm<-2> of
photocurrent density is produced under 1.1V vs. RHE, and 3.49 percent of high
light conversion efficiency and long-term stability over 6000 seconds are realized; and the composite
electrode material provided by the invention is low in
raw material cost, the preparation method is simple and effective, the synthesis process is green and controllable, the
mass production of the material is facilitated, and the composite
electrode material has a considerable practical application prospect.
