Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a preparation method of a P-Fe2O3 / P-CoP heterostructure nanosheet for water treatment, and belongs to the fields of material preparation and application. BACKGROUND

[0002] The increasing consumption of mineral energy has caused serious pollution problems, so solving these problems is still a severe challenge. Developing new energy is considered to be an effective path to alleviate the energy crisis and environmental pollution. Compared with traditional methane reforming and coal gasification, fresh water or seawater desalination provides a green path for catalytic water decomposition to prepare hydrogen. At present, RuO2 is the main catalyst for water oxidation, and Pt / C is the main catalyst for water reduction. For example, the Wang team uses an etching method to obtain Ti3C2T x @Pt; and then compounding the Ti3C2T x @Pt with single-walled carbon nanotubes to form Ti3C2T x @Pt / SWCNT; the material has a water reduction reaction current density of 230 mA / cm x @Pt / SWCNT; the material has a water reduction reaction current density of 230 mA / cm 2 50 mV (Adv Funct Mater 30 (2020) 2000693). The Yang team uses Ni(NO3)2, Co(NO3)2, RuCl3, NaOH and the like to construct a Ni-Co-Ru oxide, which exhibits high water oxidation activity (ACSAppl Energy Mater 2 (2019) 4105-4110). The large use of noble metal materials is the main problem restricting the electrolytic water hydrogen production, and developing non-noble metal catalysts is an important research direction.

[0003] Transition metal oxides, nitrides, carbides, sulfides and the like have been widely studied for catalytic water decomposition to prepare hydrogen. Transition metal phosphides have attracted widespread attention due to their noble metal-like properties. The Chai team uses PTA, FeCl3.6H2O and the like to construct a Fe-MOF, and then obtains FeP nanorods by high-temperature calcination, and obtains N-FeP by high-temperature calcination with NH4CO3; which exhibits high water splitting activity (Appl Surf Sci 507 (2020) 145096). WO3 has high catalytic activity due to its wide band width. The Han team constructs CoO@ZIF-67, which is high-temperature calcined with NaH2PO2 to obtain a N-CoO@CoP electrocatalyst, which has a water hydrolysis voltage of 1.79 V and a current density of 100 mA / cm 2(Electrochim Acta 330 (2020) 135210). Wu team used NCD solution, Co(NO3)2·6H2O, NaH2PO2, etc. to construct CoP-NCDs / NF; it catalyzes water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen, and the current density is 10mA / cm 2 (Carbon 182 (2021) 327-334). Therefore, by adjusting the Co-based material to form P-Fe2O3 / P-CoP heterostructure nanosheet, it can effectively catalyze water splitting, which has important theoretical value. SUMMARY:
