Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of photoelectric catalysis, in particular to a method for constructing a Z-type heterojunction photoanode and the Z-type heterojunction photoanode. Background technique [0002] In order to solve the energy and environmental crisis, hydrogen has attracted the attention of the world with its cleanness, high efficiency and huge development potential. TiO since 1972 2 As a photocatalyst for the first time, photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells are considered to be a very promising system for hydrogen production. After more than 40 years of development, the types of photocatalysts and battery design strategies have emerged in an endless stream. However, overall, the efficiency of photocatalytic solar energy conversion is still low, which prevents it from being applied on a large scale. How to improve the catalytic activity of photocatalysts has become a research topic that has attracted much attention in this field...
