Abstract

The invention discloses a visible-light response plasma light catalyst and a preparation method thereof. The method includes the specific steps: preparing a nano gold solution, adding a chloroauric acid solution into water prior to adding a citric acid mixed solution with stirring, cooling to room temperature to obtain the nano gold solution, adding proper tantalum chloride solution into a mixed solution of citric acid containing water and ethanol, and then adding polyethylene glycol to obtain a nano gold embedded tantalum pentoxide plasma light catalyst; preparing a nano gold embedded tantalum pentanitride sample, putting the prepared nano gold embedded tantalum pentoxide plasma light catalyst into a tubular atmosphere furnace, performing nitrogenization with ammonia to obtain a nano gold embedded tantalum pentanitride plasma light catalyst. The nano gold embedded tantalum pentoxide plasma light catalyst and the nano gold embedded tantalum pentanitride plasma light catalyst prepared have high efficiency of photocatalytically splitting of water into hydrogen under the condition of visible light excitation, utilization rate of visible light in sunlight is increased, and the application prospect is broad.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to photocatalytic technology, in particular to two kinds of visible light responsive nano-gold embedding tantalum pentoxide (Nano Au / Ta 2 o 5 ), nano-gold embedded in tantalum pentanitride (Nano Au / Ta 3 N 5 ) plasmonic photocatalyst and its preparation method. Background technique [0002] Energy issues have become the key to the survival and sustainable development of human society. Hydrogen, known as green fuel, is derived from water and returns to water after combustion. It is recognized as the best substitute for existing chemical fuels such as petroleum and coal. At present, the easiest way for humans to obtain hydrogen is electrolysis, which uses electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. This not only requires high costs, but the decomposition process itself consumes a lot of energy. Solar energy and water are two important renewable resources on the earth. Using solar energy to split water to produce hydroge...
