Problems solved by technology

For example, niobate photocatalyst Pb 3 Nb 4 o 13 、BiNbO 4 and Bi 2 MbO 7 (M=Al, Ga, In, Y, rare earth elements and Fe) etc. and niobium potassium composite oxide photocatalysts such as KNbO 3 , KNb 3 o 8 、K 4 Nb 6 o 17 and K 6 Nb 10.6 o 30 have good photocatalytic performance, but their intrinsic photocatalytic effect is weak or inactive in the visible light range.
[0005] Although photocatalysis research has been carried out for several years, most of the exploration and development of visible light-responsive photocatalysts are based on experience summaries obtained through a large number of experiments. Therefore, the types of photocatalysts reported to respond to visible light are still limited, and there are problems such as low photoconversion efficiency, difficult synthesis, poor stability, and narrow spectral response range. Research and development of new preparations High-efficiency photocatalysts with simple methods and broad-band visible light response are difficult problems that scientists in the field have been eager to solve but have always been difficult to achieve, which largely limits the wide application and development of photocatalysts.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a photocatalyst LiCu responsive to visible light 2 Nb 7 o 20 The invention and a preparation method thereof belong to the field of inorganic photocatalytic materials. Background technique [0002] With the development of society and economy, people pay more and more attention to energy and ecological environment. Solving the problems of energy shortage and environmental pollution is an urgent need to achieve sustainable development, improve people's quality of life and ensure national security. [0003] Since the late 1970s, people have proposed the use of photocatalysts to decompose organic substances such as pesticides and odorous substances in water and the atmosphere, and self-cleaning of solid surfaces coated with photocatalysts. The principle of photocatalytic reaction is that after the photocatalyst absorbs photons higher than its bandgap energy, holes and electrons are generated, and these holes and electrons undergo...
