Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a composite electrode material and its preparation method and application, belonging to the technical field of energy conversion and storage materials. Background technique [0002] Hydrogen, as a clean and renewable energy source, has attracted great attention due to its potential in solving the current global energy crisis caused by the overuse of fossil fuels and the resulting severe global warming problem. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting by consuming solar energy to produce hydrogen fuel is considered as a promising and efficient method to convert inexhaustible solar energy into storable hydrogen. Since HONDA Kenichi and FUJISHIMA Akira first reported n-type TiO for water splitting in 1972 2 Since electrodes, many semiconductor materials have been integrated to effectively improve the energy conversion efficiency of PECs, such as Fe 2 o 3 、Cu 2 O and ZnO. [0003] ZnO is a new type of direct bandgap wide-ban...
