Problems solved by technology

But the first method will increase the film thickness, and the coupling effect of light absorption efficiency and charge separation efficiency, thinner BiVO 4 Membranes generally have higher light absorption efficiency and lower charge separation efficiency and vice versa
Therefore, how to further improve BiVO 4 The light transmittance of photoanode films while maintaining high photocurrent density to achieve high hydrogen and oxygen evolution efficiencies in photo-water-splitting-photovoltaic tandem systems remains challenging

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical fields of new energy and photoelectrochemistry, and specifically discloses a large-size nano-porous BiVO4 photo-anode as well as a preparation method and an application thereof. FTO conductive glass is taken as a substrate, bismuth nitrate is taken as a bismuth source, the FTO glass is immerged into a bismuth nitrate electrolyte at a certain speed, bismuth metal layer deposition and calcining are carried out to obtain bismuth oxide, then the surface of bismuth oxide is coated with DMSO solution containing vanadium(IV)oxy acetylacetonate (VO(acac)2) in a dripping manner, and finally calcining is carried out to obtain the photo-anode. The photo-anode prepared by the preparation method has the advantages of being simple in synthesis method, moderate in reaction conditions, pollution-free and the like, and good in prospect in the fields of photoinduction, capacitors, photoelectrocatalysis, photocatalysis and the like. Via experimental study, the photocurrent density of the nano-porous BiVO4 photo-anode in a photoelectrochemical test exceeds 1.4mA / cm<2>, the photon-to-electron conversion efficiency in a main light absorption area reaches 17%, and excellent stability is shown in the photoelectrochemical test.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of new energy and photoelectrochemistry, and specifically relates to a large-sized nanoporous BiVO 4 A photoanode and its preparation method and application, the photoelectrode material can be assembled into a photoelectrolytic cell for catalytically decomposing pure water for hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the energy shortage and environmental problems caused by the endless consumption of fossil energy (coal, oil, and natural gas, etc.) have received close attention from all over the world. The most effective way to solve the above problems today is to find ideal energy sources to replace fossil fuels. Abundant and clean solar energy makes it one of the best candidates, and the conversion and utilization of solar energy has become a hot topic in recent years. Because abundant solar energy and water are both renewable resources, photoelectrochemical ...
