Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, traditional ZnO is a wide bandgap (Eg=3.2eV) photocatalyst, which can only photocatalytically reduce CO under ultraviolet light irradiation. 2 Reaction, we all know that ultraviolet light only accounts for 5% of sunlight, while visible light accounts for 40% of sunlight, obviously, this will greatly weaken the overall photocatalytic ef

Example Embodiment

[0039] Example 1

[0040] The methanol solution of 2-methylimidazole was added dropwise to the methanol solution of zinc nitrate hexahydrate, magnetically stirred for 1 hour at room temperature, and then allowed to stand for 24 hours. Finally, the obtained solution is centrifuged, washed with methanol and dried at a drying temperature of 80°C, and the obtained white solid is ground into ZIF-8 powder. The ZIF-8 powder was placed in an alumina crucible, covered with a lid and placed in a muffle furnace, heated to 500°C at a heating rate of 5°C per minute and kept at this temperature for 2 hours. The obtained powder is the porous carbon modified ZnO photocatalyst material. The TEM(a) and HRTEM(b) diagrams are as follows figure 2 Shown by figure 2 (a) It can be seen that ZnO is in the form of nanoparticles, with a particle size of several tens of nanometers (mostly not exceeding 50 nm). Because of the cubic sodalite structure of ZIF-8, metal ions are highly dispersed and separate...

Abstract

The invention relates to a ZnO photocatalytic material modified with porous carbon and a preparing method thereof. The ZnO photocatalytic material modified with porous carbon includes zinc oxide nanometer particles and amorphous porous nanometer carbon. The zinc oxide nanometer particles are covered with the amorphous porous nanometer carbon largely or the amorphous porous nanometer carbon is doped in gaps among the zinc oxide nanometer particles largely. The method has characteristics of a simple preparing process, mild reaction conditions, easy control, and the like. The material has a high specific surface area, high CO2 adsorptivity, visible-light response and charge transfer capabilities, effectively overcomes disadvantages which are a small specific surface area, a high photo-induced electron hole pair recombination rate and a low photocatalytic efficiency of a single zinc oxide photocatalyst, greatly increases the solar energy utilization efficiency, and has a wide application prospect in the fields of photocatalysis, electrochemistry, energy, environment, and the like.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a porous carbon modified ZnO photocatalytic material and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of material preparation and energy environment. Background technique [0002] With the shortage of fossil fuels and the continuous increase of carbon dioxide emissions, we urgently need to find new clean energy, especially the search for efficient CO 2 A way to convert into new clean energy. Many photocatalysts, such as TiO 2 , ZnO, CdS, ZnGa 2 O 4 , G-C 3 N 4 And other semiconductors have been used to study the photocatalytic reduction of CO 2 field. In the past 30 years of research, ZnO has been extensively studied by researchers as a photocatalyst due to its excellent structural properties and special photoelectrochemical properties. More importantly, compared to TiO 2 ZnO is a typical direct band gap semiconductor, with 10 times that of TiO 2 In this way, the separation and transfer efficiency of electrons are improved....
