Abstract

The invention provides a carbon film coated alpha-iron oxide nanorod array and a preparation method and application thereof. The method includes the following steps: immersing a conductive substrate in an aqueous solution of an iron salt and a sodium salt, and heating under a sealing condition to obtain a beta-FeOOH nanorod array; calcining the obtained beta-FeOOH nanorod array to obtain an alpha-iron oxide nanorod array; and immersing the obtained alpha-iron oxide nanorod array in a mixed solution of glucose and alkali, and heating under the sealing condition to obtain the carbon film coatedalpha-iron oxide nanorod array. The nanorod array prepared by the preparation method is uniform and compact in carbon film and easy in thickness control, and can effectively passivate the surface state of alpha-iron oxide and improve the photoelectric performance of the nanorod array as a photo-anode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of nanotechnology and new energy materials, and in particular relates to a carbon film-coated α-iron oxide nanorod array and a preparation method and application thereof. Background technique [0002] As a kind of n-type semiconductor with narrow band gap, low cost, environmental friendliness and good stability, α-iron oxide is a popular material in the field of photoelectrochemical water splitting and is widely used in the preparation of photoanodes. In recent years, the use of nanotechnology and elemental doping methods has greatly improved the bulk charge transport efficiency of α-iron oxide photoanodes. However, α-iron oxide photoanodes usually show high overpotential, and the resulting energy loss restricts their practical application. It is shown that, in addition to the slower oxygen generation kinetics, the existence of surface states is an important reason for the higher overpotential of the α-iron oxide pho...
