Abstract

The present invention discloses a TiO2/GQDs/NiS heterojunction photoanode and a preparation method thereof, solving the existing problem of relative low photoelectric conversion efficiency of TiO2. The method comprises the following steps: taking a titanium piece as a substrate, taking ethylene glycol and an ammonium fluoride aqueous solution containing graphene quantum dots (GQDs) as an electrolyte, and preparing a TiO2 composite film containing GQDs by using an anodic oxidation method; depositing NiS nanoparticles on the surface of the TiO2 via a successive ionic layer adsorption-precipitation reaction; and performing annealing reaction for 2 hours in a tube furnace under nitrogen atmosphere to obtain a TiO2/GQDs/NiS composite photoanode. The photocurrent density of the TiO2/GQDs/NiS (dipping 8 times) composite film is 2 times of the photocurrent density of a TiO2 nanotube. The method has the advantages of simplicity and easiness for operation, and the TiO2/GQDs/NiS composite photoelectrode prepared by using the method has high photocatalytic activity and stability.

Description

technical field [0001] The technical field of the invention belongs to the technical field of photocatalysis and photoelectrochemical materials, and particularly relates to the development and preparation method of titanium dioxide heterojunction photocatalyst. Background technique [0002] TiO 2 Nanotube arrays (TNAs) are favored by researchers due to their high specific surface area, excellent charge transport properties, non-toxicity, high catalytic activity, chemical stability and low cost. Applications of TNA in gas sensors, solar cells, biocatalysts, biomedical implant materials, and Li-ion batteries are intriguing. However TiO 2 It can only absorb sunlight with a wavelength below 500nm, and cannot fully utilize the energy of sunlight; and the photogenerated electron-hole pairs are easy to recombine, resulting in low photoelectric conversion efficiency, and there are still many places to be improved and perfected in practical applications. Therefore for TiO 2 Photo...
