Abstract

The invention relates to an alpha-Fe2O3 porous nano bar photo-anode material for photoelectric hydrolysis hydrogen production. The liquid-solid chemical method is used for in-situ preparing of an FTO conductive glass base body loaded alpha-Fe2O3 porous nano bar and the photo-anode material comprising the above alpha-Fe2O3 porous nano bar. According to the specific preparing method, in-situ growing of a beta-FeOOH nano bar array is conducted on an FTO conductive glass base body in an FeCl3 containing dicyandiamide and sulphonated acetone-formaldehyde plymer water solution, high-temperature heat treatment is conducted, and the one-dimension alpha-Fe2O3 porous nano bar array photo-anode material is obtained. By adoption of the alpha-Fe2O3 porous nano bar array photo-anode material prepared through the method, wetting of an electrolyte in the photo-anode material can be improved, the transmission distance of photon-generated carriers is shortened, and the photoelectric hydrolysis hydrogen production efficiency is improved. According to the preparing method, operation is convenient, simple and easy to control, and the prepared photo-anode material has important application potentials in the aspects such as photoelectric catalysis.

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of photoelectric catalytic hydrogen production, and is specifically an α-Fe 2 O 3 Preparation method and application of porous nanorod array photoanode material. Background technique [0002] Photoelectric hydrolysis hydrogen production technology is a promising way to convert solar energy into chemical energy. However, the photoelectrocatalytic efficiency of photoelectrode materials has always been a bottleneck restricting the development of solar hydrolysis hydrogen production. The photoelectric reaction is usually carried out in a photoelectrochemical cell (PEC), and n-type semiconductor materials are usually used as the photoanode and metal as the cathode. When sunlight hits the photoanode material, the photoanode material excites the hole-electron pair (h + -e - ) Participate in the following electrode reactions to split water to produce H 2 And O 2 (Formulas 1, 2): [0003] [0004] Experiments have proved t...
