Abstract

The invention discloses a hydrogen-reduced thin-layer titanium carbide loaded cuprous oxide photo-cathode material for photoelectrolysis of water and a preparation method for the photo-cathode material. According to the method, the composite photo-electrode material with relatively high photoelectrochemical properties, i.e., hydrogen-reduced thin-layer titanium carbide loaded cuprous oxide, i.e.,Cu2O / H:Ti3C2Tx is synthesized through preparing cuprous oxide by taking conductive glass or copper as a substrate and loading the surface of the cuprous oxide with hydrogen-reduced thin-layer titaniumcarbide. The electrode material comprises a substrate, cuprous oxide and the hydrogen-reduced thin-layer titanium carbide. The hydrogen-reduced thin-layer titanium carbide is loaded with a cuprous oxide electrode, so that the photoelectrochemical properties of the electrode material can be remarkably improved, and the electrode material can be applied to the fields of preparation of solar photovoltaic cells, construction of photoelectrochemical sensors, photoelectro-catalyzed water-decomposition hydrogen production and the like.
