[0080] Application Example 1

[0081] The photocatalytic activity of the photocatalysts obtained in Examples 1 to 2 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 was tested. 1.0 wt% of Pt was loaded by the photodeposition method. Photocatalytic water decomposition was used as a model reaction, and a 300W xenon lamp light source was suspended above a reactor with a volume of 250 mL. 3.2 g of sodium sulfite, 8.4 g of sodium sulfide nonahydrate, 100 mL of water and 0.1 g of a Pt-loaded photocatalyst were added to the reactor and stirred to form a suspension system. The photocatalytic water decomposition reaction was carried out under the irradiation of a 300W xenon lamp light source. Before turning on the light, the reactor was vacuumed. The timing started from turning on the light. After 30 minutes of illumination, the gas in the reaction system was quantitatively taken out and loaded into a gas chromatograph with Ar as the carrier gas for quantitative analysis. The entire test of photocatalytic water decomposition for hydrogen production lasted for 2 hours, with samples taken at intervals of 30 minutes. The volume of hydrogen produced by the photocatalytic water decomposition was determined by the external standard method, and then the hydrogen production rate of the catalyst photocatalytic water decomposition was calculated. The photocatalytic hydrogen production rate v can be calculated by the following formula:

[0082]

[0083] Wherein, A is the total amount of hydrogen produced during the reaction time, unit: mL; t is the total reaction time, unit: h.

[0084] The test results are shown in Table 1 and Figures 3-4 As shown:

[0085] Table 1 The photocatalytic decomposition of water and hydrogen production rate of the photocatalysts in Examples 1 to 2 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 after 2 hours

[0087] As can be seen from Table 1, the 100-c S -h S / h CdS photocatalyst can effectively improve the rate of hydrogen production from photocatalytic water decomposition. After 2h of illumination, 100-c S -h S / h The hydrogen production rate of CdS is higher than that of c S / h CdS、c S -CdS. It can be seen that this 100-c with a gradient charge transfer chain structure S -h S / h CdS photocatalytic activity is higher than that of heterojunction structure S / h-CdS, Description 00-c S -h S / h CdS can improve the catalytic activity of photocatalysts. In order to more clearly compare the effects of different photocatalysts on the production of hydrogen from water, the rates of photocatalytic water production from different photocatalysts are plotted as a bar graph, as shown in the figure below. Figure 3 It can be clearly seen that the 100-c S -h S / h CdS photocatalytic decomposition of water to produce hydrogen is more effective than c S / h CdS、c S -CdS sample; 200-c S -h S / h The hydrogen production rate of CdS(1) is higher than that of c S -CdS(1) and 300-c S -h S / h CdS(1). In order to more clearly compare the effects of different photocatalysts on the production of hydrogen from water, the rates of photocatalytic water production from different photocatalysts are plotted as a bar graph, as shown in Figure 4 As shown. It can be clearly seen that the 200-c S -h S / h CdS(1) photocatalytic decomposition of water to produce hydrogen is higher than c S -CdS(1) and 300-c S -h S / h CdS(1) sample.

[0088] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
