Problems solved by technology

At present, there are still two problems to be solved urgently in the practical application of pure ZnO catalysts: first, the utilization efficiency of solar energy is low, ZnO mainly absorbs light in a small section of the ultraviolet region, and can only use 4% of the solar spectrum range. Second, the recombination rate of semiconductor carriers is high, and the photon quantum efficiency is low
However, since the size and uniformity of ZnO nanorods in the solution phase are more difficult to control than the substrate growth method, there is no report on the solution phase noble metal particle / ZnO nanorod heterostructure.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for synthetizing an Au / ZnO bar-shaped heterojunction photocatalyst and belongs to the technical field of preparation of semiconductor photocatalysts. The method comprises steps as follows: firstly, an Au nanoparticle colloidal solution is prepared and obtained with a method of chloroauric acid reduction by sodium citrate and serves as a primary reaction seed; then the Au nanoparticle colloidal solution is concentrated with a centrifugal separation method, 4.8-240 mL of an aqueous surfactant solution with the concentration being 10mg / mL-20mg / mL, 0.1-5mL of an aqueous zinc salt solution with the concentration being 50mM and 0.1-5mL of an alkaline solution with the concentration being 50mM are sequentially added to a concentration product, the mixture is heated for 2.5-3 hours at the temperature ranging from 80 DEG C to 95 DEG C, and the pink Au / ZnO bar-shaped heterojunction photocatalyst is obtained. An experiment result shows that the catalytic effect of the semiconductor photocatalyst in visible light with the maximum absorption wavelength larger than 420nm is remarkably improved than that of a ZnO bar, and the photocatalyst has good application prospect in the field of photocatalytic degradation of environmental pollutants, solar cells, solar hydrogen production and the like.
