The invention belongs to the technical field of composite
nanomaterials, and relates to a preparation method of a
copper nanocluster modified
silver bromide nanoparticle /
titanium dioxide photocatalyst, which comprises the following steps: mixing a
copper source and a silver source in deionized water to form a Cu
ion adsorbed AgCl (Cu / AgCl) turbid solution; the preparation method comprises the following steps: dispersing TiO2,
ascorbic acid,
polyvinylpyrrolidone and
potassium bromide in deionized water, carrying out uniform ultrasonic treatment, transferring into an
oil bath, stirring, heating, adding a Cu / AgCl turbid solution, carrying out a reaction, washing and removing impurities, and thus obtaining the TiO2 / AgCl
composite material. The photocatalyst disclosed by the invention is applied to photocatalytic conversion of CO2 and H2O to prepare C2H4 and H2O2. Through an
ion exchange process enhanced by
electrostatic interaction, AgBr nanoparticles modified by Cu
nanoclusters are directionally modified on a TiO2 substrate. A spatial confinement structure and a Cu / AgBr / TiO2 ternary mixed structure have a cascaded multi-step charge
transfer mechanism, strong charge driving force is provided for the catalyst, in addition, adjacent heteronuclear sites of Cu and Ag provide a high-quality
synergistic catalysis effect for the whole reaction, and C2H4 and H2O2 are prepared by converting CO2 and H2O through light driving.
