Embodiment 1

[0055] Polished smooth zinc sheet (1×3cm 2 ) were ultrasonically cleaned in acetone, ethanol, and deionized water for 5 min, and dried in air. Take 1ml of hexamethylenediamine and disperse it in 39ml of deionized water, stir evenly, and transfer it to a 50ml reaction kettle. Dip the cleaned zinc flakes into the above solution, and heat the reactor to 150°C in an oven for 4 hours. The samples were taken out, washed alternately with ethanol and deionized water, placed in a vacuum oven at 60°C, and dried for 5 hours. The vacuum-dried sample was calcined in an ammonia atmosphere, the calcining temperature was 400° C., and the calcining time was 10 min. Next, prepare AgNO with a concentration of 0.01mM 3 Solution, take 50ml and put it in a test tube, put it under the xenon lamp for 6h, take out the sample and wash it alternately with ethanol and deionized water, put it in a vacuum drying oven at 60°C, and dry it for 5h. The final preparation concentration is 0.1mM HAuCl 4 Solu...

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method for Au-Ag co-modified N-doped ZnO nanorods, the ZnO nanorods obtained according to the preparation method, and application of the ZnO nanorods. According to a photochemical deposition method, a simple and environment-friendly in-situ synthesis method for the ZnO nanorods is formed and comprises the following two steps: electrons generated on the ZnO nanorods serve as a reducing agent to react with Ag<+> ions in a solution, so that in-situ deposition of Ag nano-particles on the surfaces of the ZnO nanorods is realized; then, the reaction product is directly put in a HAuCl4 solution, and electrons generated on the Ag nano-particles serve as a reducing agent to react with AuCl4<-> ions in the HAuCl4 solution. No any additional reducing reagents and organic modifiers are needed in the two steps, so that the reaction processes are environmentally friendly; a clean contact interface is beneficial to rapid separation and transfer of photo-generated electrons, and improvement in the photo-electrochemical activity of a material.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of synthesis and manufacture of inorganic semiconductor nanometer materials, and in particular relates to a preparation method of nitrogen-doped ZnO nanorods co-modified by Au and Ag and its application in photoelectrochemical hydrolysis hydrogen production. Background technique [0002] Since 1972, two professors, FujishimaA and HondaK of the University of Tokyo, Japan, first reported the discovery of TiO 2 The phenomenon of hydrogen generation by photocatalytic water splitting at single crystal electrodes has begun, and the technology of photo-splitting water for hydrogen production has attracted extensive attention. As a method of directly using solar energy to produce hydrogen, a clean energy source, the development of photo-splitting water technology is becoming more and more important in the era of resource shortage. More and more semiconductor materials are used as electrode materials for photolysis of water, ...
