This invention belongs to the field of hollow multi-component nanomaterial preparation technology, specifically disclosing a hollow Cu3NbSe4 nanomaterial, its preparation method, and its application. The
microstructure of the nanomaterial is a nanoscale hollow cubic structure. The preparation method includes: (1) dissolving
niobium source and
selenium source separately in
oleylamine solvent by heating for later use; (2) treating the soluble
copper source and the
niobium source dissolved in (1) in a high-boiling-point
organic solvent for
deoxygenation and
dehydration, and then carrying out a
solvothermal reaction; (3) when (2) is heated to a certain temperature, injecting the
selenium source dissolved in (1) to carry out a
solvothermal reaction, and separating the obtained
solid product after the reaction is completed. The synthesis process of this invention is simple, the
reaction conditions are mild, and the
energy consumption and cost are low; more importantly, it realizes the preparation of hollow Cu3NbSe4 nanomaterial with uniform morphology and size, high
crystallinity, and stronger light
absorption capacity, and the prepared hollow Cu3NbSe4 shows excellent performance in photocatalytic
hydrogen production.
