Abstract

The invention discloses a Fe2-xTixO3/FTO photo-anode preparing technology and a treatment method capable of improving photocurrent density of a photo-anode. According to the Fe2-xTixO3/FTO photo-anode preparing technology, a photo-anode precursor is prepared in hydrothermal environment with solubility trivalent ferric salt and alkali metal nitrates serving as a titanium source in an organic titanium solution and FTO conductive glass serving as a carrier, and the treatment method is adopted for treating the precursor; through the photoelectricity test, it shows that after the photo-anode is prepared through the technology, the photocurrent density of Ar-Fe2-xTixO3/FTO is 2.6 0mA/cm<2> at 1.23eV, the photocurrent density of Air-Fe2O3/FTO is 0.12 mA/cm<2> at 1.23eV, and the photocurrent density is improved by more than 21 times. Therefore, according to the prepared photo-anode and the treatment method of the photo-anode, the advanced technical means with the low energy consumption and the efficient water decomposition is achieved, the good industrial application prospect is achieved, and the technology and the method can be used for relieving the global increasingly-strained energy supply situation at present.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solar cell material preparation, and specifically relates to a photoanode prepared by in-situ growth of Fe2-xTixO3 onto fluorine-doped tin dioxide (conductive glass, referred to as "FTO"). A treatment that can greatly increase the photocurrent density. Background technique [0002] A strong reliance on fossil fuels makes our economy vulnerable to erratic growth from rising prices, and the overuse of fossil fuels contributes to air pollution and global warming. Therefore, it is a very urgent issue to develop clean and renewable alternatives to fossil fuels. Among various alternative energy strategies, hydrogen is recognized as the most ideal new energy. It is not only non-toxic and pollution-free, but also has a high calorific value and a wide range of raw material sources. How to produce hydrogen efficiently and stably with low energy consumption has become a major problem that plagues the world. Decomp...
