Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method for a porous silicon / ZnO nanorod composite photo-anode. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) ultrasonic-washing a porous silicon substrate successively in acetone, absolute ethyl alcohol and deionized water, and treating by using potassium permanganate solution, washing, to obtain the completely washed porous silicon substrate; (2)preparing uniform aqueous solution of zinc nitrate hexahydrate, adding hexamine, stirring, to obtain uniformly mixed solution; and (3) enabling the porous silicon substrate to be vertically immergedin the mixed solution, performing a water bath reaction, washing, and airing, to obtain the porous silicon / ZnO nanorod composite photo-anode. The preparation method is simple, and low in cost. A ZnO seed crystal is not needed, and porous silicon is selected as the substrate. An obtained sample has very high light current density.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of photoelectric catalysis, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a porous silicon / ZnO nanorod composite photoanode. Background technique [0002] In today's world, the problems of environmental pollution and energy shortage are increasing day by day. Although the existing technology and non-renewable energy can meet the population growth and economic development of human beings for hundreds of years, the corresponding social consequences are very severe. Photoelectrocatalytic technology can degrade organic pollutants under the irradiation of sunlight and a certain bias voltage, and can also generate clean energy hydrogen, which is an ideal technology to solve environmental pollution and energy shortage. [0003] In photocatalytic systems, silicon wafers are often used as conductive substrates, but crystalline silicon itself has defects as a conductive substrate. First, about 30% of incident p...
