Abstract

The invention discloses a heterojunction photocatalyst for hydrogen production and alcohol oxidation by high-efficiency photocatalytic water-cracking, and belongs to the field of photocatalyst preparation and application. According to the invention, nickel sulfate hexahydrate, sodium selenite and titanium dioxide are taken as reactants, glycol is taken as a solvent and a reducing agent, and then aNiSe / TiO2 heterojunction photocatalyst is synthesized according to a one-step solvothermal method. The heterojunction photocatalyst prepared by the invention has a photocatalytic hydrogen productionperformance 9 times higher than that of pure TiO2, and shows good stability in the long-cycle operation. Furthermore, simple alcohols are taken as sacrificial agents, and chemicals of high-value fuel(hydrogen), small molecular acids, aldehydes and the like are prepared through the photocatalytic water cracking under illumination of simulated sunlight. In addition, the heterojunction photocatalystused in the invention is green and simple in preparation method, rich in material sources, low in cost and stable in activity, and combines the small molecular alcohols as the sacrificial agents, sothat economic benefits of photocatalysis and the utilization rate of absorbed light energy can be greatly improved.
