Abstract

The invention discloses a boron-doped titanium dioxide nanotube film photoelectrode which comprises a titanium sheet substrate and a boron-doped titanium dioxide nanotube film layer that grows in situ on the titanium sheet substrate, and the boron-doped concentration is 0.46at.percent to 1.42at.percent by atomic percent. A preparation method of the photoelectrode comprises the following steps: a titanium dioxide nanotube grows on the titanium sheet substrate through adopting an anode oxidation method; and the boron is then doped into the titanium dioxide nanotube layer through adopting a chemical vapor deposition method. Compared with the conventional titanium dioxide film, the titanium dioxide nanotube has larger specific surface area and stronger absorption capacity, thereby the photocatalysis performance and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the titanium dioxide film electrode are greatly improved, the photoresponse of the film electrode is further improved through doping the nonmetal boron, more particularly the photoresponse range of materials is expanded. The invention can be applied in the fields of solar energy utilization, photoelectric conversion, photocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis degradation of organic matters, and the like.

Description

Background technique [0002] In recent years, research on photocatalysis of semiconductor nanomaterials has received extensive attention. Especially in the field of environmental pollution control, because nano-titanium dioxide has a significant photocatalytic degradation effect on many environmental pollutants, photocatalysis has developed into a new type of environmental pollution control technology. As the core of photocatalytic technology, titanium dioxide has the advantages of high catalytic activity, stable properties, corrosion resistance, and non-toxicity; but there are also some problems in application, such as it can only absorb light with a wavelength of less than 387 nanometers, and cannot use solar energy. The visible part of the main energy of li...
