Abstract

The invention discloses a TiO2 / BiVO4 photo-anode material which comprises a substrate, a TiO2 nano-rod array perpendicularly grown on the surface of the substrate, and a BiVO4 nano-particle layer deposited on the surface of the TiO2 nano-rod array. Through adoption of the TiO2 / BiVO4 photo-anode material, the water photoelectrolysis property is improved; compared with other water photoelectrolysis materials, the TiO2 / BiVO4 photo-anode material effectively overcomes the lattice defect of an interface layer, reduces the composition of photo-generated electrons and hole pairs, improves the own stability, expands the absorption spectrum range of visible light, promotes the effective separation of the photo-generated electrons and the hole pairs, realizes the synchronous reaction of hydrogen production and oxygen production, ensures that the ratio of the hydrogen yield to the oxygen yield is close to 2: 1, and is a relatively ideal water photoelectrolysis material. Moreover, the invention further discloses a preparation method of the TiO2 / BiVO4 photo-anode material. The preparation method has the characteristics that the nano-structure control is easy to realize technically, the prepared binary nano-rod array is excellent in crystallization property, and the interface quality is relatively high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of solar electrolysis water, in particular to a TiO 2 / BiVO 4 Photoanode materials and methods for their preparation. Background technique [0002] Solar energy is a new type of green energy. Using sunlight to decompose water to produce hydrogen, the development of "solar fuel" can overcome the characteristics of low density, high dispersion, instability, and discontinuity of solar energy. In today's increasingly depleted fossil fuels and serious environmental pollution The society has attracted much attention [[1] Guo Liejin, Liu Tao, Ji Jun, et al. Science & Technology Review, 2005, 23 (2): 29-33]. In recent years, well-oriented 1D single-crystal wide-gap semiconductor nanorod arrays have received increasing attention. This structure can provide a direct path for photogenerated electron transport and increase the electron transport rate. Single crystal TiO 2 Nanorods (TiO 2 NRs) have high transmittance to visi...
