Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductor electrodes of photoelectrochemical cells, specifically a novel composite silicon electrode (p-Si / CdS / TiO 2 / Pt) structure design and preparation method. Background technique [0002] Photocatalytic water splitting hydrogen production technology can effectively convert solar energy into hydrogen energy, which is one of the important ways to solve energy crisis and environmental problems. Si has excellent light absorption ability (wavelength less than 930nm) and charge transfer ability (1600 and 400cm for electrons and holes, respectively 2 the s -1 V -1 ), under the condition of full spectrum and no sacrificial agent, a series of breakthroughs have been made in the photolysis of water by Si electrode, which has attracted widespread attention in the industry. [1] . Moreover, Si, as an element second only to oxygen in the earth's crust, is relatively cheap. However, due to the small photogenerated ...
