Abstract

The invention discloses a silver nanoparticle modified SiO2@TiO2 layered microsphere, a preparation method and application thereof, wherein the SiO2@TiO2-Ag layered microsphere is of a core-shell structure formed by taking SiO2 as a core layer and TiO2 as a shell layer, and silver nanoparticles are modified on the shell layer structure of TiO2. According to the SiO2@TiO2-Ag layered microsphere disclosed by the invention, the light absorption and photo-induced charge separation of a photo-anode can be improved through the synergistic effect of the scattering effect of the microsphere and the plasma resonance effect of surface silver nanoparticles; and by doping 2% of SiO2@TiO2-Ag layered microsphere into a P25 photo-anode, the current density and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of abattery can be improved, the short-circuit current density is increased from 10.12 mA cm<-2> to 15.97 mA cm<-2>, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency is increased from 4.3% to 7.3%.
