Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of environment-friendly inorganic nanometer materials, and relates to the synthesis of nanometer heterostructure materials, in particular to a hydrothermal method for synthesizing heterostructure copper oxide composite titanium dioxide nanowire arrays. In the present invention, the titanium source is hydrolyzed in concentrated hydrochloric acid to make a TiO2 precursor solution, and after adding a conductive glass substrate, a TiO2 nanowire array substrate is obtained through a hydrothermal reaction, and then the prepared substrate is successively placed in a copper acetate ethanol solution , copper acetate aqueous solution, and finally high-temperature calcination to prepare a heterostructure copper oxide composite titanium dioxide nanowire array. The process of the invention is simple and the cost is low. Using the array prepared by the method of the present invention, nano-copper oxide can be successfully attached to the surface of the titanium dioxide nanowire array, no impurities are brought into the array by alcohol evaporation, and the starting potential is significantly lower than that of pure TiO2, which can effectively separate photogenerated electron holes. Improve hydrogen production efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of environment-friendly inorganic nano-materials, relates to the synthesis of nano-heterostructure materials, in particular to a hydrothermal method for synthesizing heterostructure copper oxide composite titanium dioxide (CuOTiO 2 ) nanowire arrays. Background technique [0002] With the progress and development of social science and technology, the energy problem has become an urgent problem to be solved. As a clean and efficient new energy source, hydrogen energy has attracted more and more attention. Under the irradiation of sunlight, using semiconductor oxides to make photoanodes and photoelectrochemically splitting water to produce hydrogen is a hot and feasible method at present. [0003] Nanostructured oxides can be roughly divided into (i) zero-dimensional according to their morphology, which means that the three-dimensional dimensions in space are all at the nanoscale, such as nanoscale particles...
