Problems solved by technology

However, in Cu 2 O / α-Fe 2 o 3 Type-II charge transfer mainly occurs on heterojunction materials. Although it can inhibit the recombination of photogenerated charges, it makes electrons and holes gather on the low-energy conduction band and valence band respectively. Therefore, the heterojunction Compared with the original single-component semiconductor, the oxidation and reduction ability of junction photocatalytic materials has decreased, which greatly hinders its wide application.

Embodiment 1

[0032] (1) A high-purity iron sheet (10 mm × 25 mm × 1.5 mm) polished with sandpaper was ultrasonically treated in absolute ethanol and distilled water for 10 min, and dried with nitrogen gas for later use. With pretreated iron sheet as anode, platinum sheet as cathode, 0.05wt% NH 4 F ethylene glycol solution (which contains 0.5% deionized water by volume fraction) is the electrolyte, at 30V, 10°C, oxidation reaction for 1min, then ultrasonic treatment in deionized water for 5min to remove the first anodic oxidation Nanoporous oxide layer; then use the iron sheet that has been oxidized once as the anode, and the platinum sheet as the cathode. In the same electrolyte, the second anodic oxidation reaction continues for the same time under the same oxidation conditions. After the oxidation reaction, the obtained iron sheet samples were rinsed with deionized water, dried with nitrogen, and placed in a muffle furnace under an oxygen atmosphere at 200°C, calcined at a constant tempe...

Abstract

The invention relates to a Z-type heterojunction Cu2O_graphene_alpha-Fe2O3 nanotube array photocatalyst material and a preparation method of the Z-type heterojunction Cu2O_graphene_alpha-Fe2O3 nanotube array photocatalyst material. The method comprises the following steps that firstly, an alpha-Fe2O3 nanotube array (FNA) is prepared on a pure iron slice by conducting an anodic oxidation method twice; secondly, graphene oxide is deposited on the FNA surface prepared in the first step through an electrochemical cyclic voltammetry method and is reduced to graphene (G), and a G / FNA composite is obtained; thirdly, Cu2O nanoparticles are deposited on the surface of the G / FNA prepared in the second step in a copper-containing saline solution through a potentiostatic method, and the ternary Z-typeheterojunction Cu2O / G / FNA photocatalyst is formed. According to the Z-type heterojunction Cu2O_graphene_alpha-Fe2O3 nanotube array photocatalyst material and preparation, the graphene layer serves asan electronic transmission mediator and is capable of effectively guiding photo-generated electrons on the FNA to migrate along the Z-type path and be subjected to quenching together with photo-generated holes in Cu2O, in this way, the spatial separation of the photo-generated electrons and hole pairs can be promoted, and the high oxidation reduction capacity of the composite is remained as well.The photocatalyst material not only has the good photocataltic performance, but also presents the good photocataltic stability.
