The present invention relates to a Cu 2 The invention discloses a method for preparing an O / ZnO composite photocatalyst, belonging to the technical field of photocatalysts. In the present invention,
copper salt and
zinc salt are dissolved in water to obtain a mixed
salt solution; under stirring conditions, the precipitant solution is dropped dropwise into the mixed
salt solution to react until the pH value is 7 to 7.5 to obtain a
reaction system, and the
reaction system is filtered to obtain
copper Zinc hydroxide solid; add the
reducing agent to the mineralizer solution to obtain a reduction-mineralization solution, add
copper-
zinc hydroxide solids to the reduction-mineralization solution, and react hydrothermally at a temperature of 120~160°C More than 12h, naturally cooled to
room temperature, filtered to obtain Cu 2 O / ZnO
solid; Cu was washed repeatedly with deionized water and absolute
ethanol 2 O / ZnO
solid to the pH value of the washing solution is 7~7.5, filtered to obtain Cu 2 O / ZnO
powder, dry to get Cu 2 O / ZnO photocatalyst. The present invention Cu 2 The composite
powder of the O / ZnO composite photocatalyst has
small particles, high recycling rate, good dispersion, high photocatalytic efficiency, simple synthesis method, easy operation, short reaction time and low cost.
