Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of composite materials and relates to a composite photocatalyst, and in particular to a preparation method and application of a nickel-doped functional carbon quantum dot-modified CIZS quantum dot (Ni-CDs / CIZS / WO3) composite photocatalyst. Background Art

[0002] The use of solar energy to photocatalytically split water to produce hydrogen is considered to be the most ideal way to alleviate energy shortages and avoid ecological damage. Considering the basic principles of photocatalysis, limited light harvesting ability, rapid recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes, and insufficient surface reaction sites are the main factors leading to the poor efficiency of photocatalytic hydrogen production. For a long time, people have proposed a series of strategies, including doping, constructing heterojunctions, loading of co-catalysts, etc. to improve photocatalytic efficiency. Among these methods, constructing Z-type heterojunctions plays a key role in promoting charge separation and inhibiting recombination. Despite this, limited light harvesting ability and over-reliance on precious metals as reaction sites are still the key factors restricting the further development of Z-type heterojunctions.

[0003] Due to their structural diversity, carbon dots (CDs) have a variety of optical properties. In the field of photocatalysis, they can enhance light absorption, promote charge separation, and act as electron acceptors and storage media. These unique properties make them a very important multifunctional component in photocatalytic systems. However, there are few reports on how to efficiently utilize CDs after accepting electrons. Considering the work function advantage of metallic Ni, which can accept electrons in CDs as active sites, Ni-modified CDs (Ni-CDs) are expected to become a new generation of efficient hydrogen evolution co-catalysts to achieve efficient photocatalytic hydrogen production.

[0004] Cu-In-Zn-S (CIZS), a representative example of cadmium-free I-III-VI quantum dots, is a promising class of photocatalysts due to its widely tunable band gap and long lifetime. To achieve efficient charge separation and utilization, WO3, with its superior electron transport properties and unique light-harvesting pathway, was combined with Ni-CDs to form a Ni-CDs-modified CIZS / WO3Z heterojunction ternary composite material for application in photocatalytic hydrogen production. Summary of the Invention

Place in an autoclave for hydrothermal reaction at 100-140°C for 3-5 hours, preferably at 110°C for 4 hours, cool to room temperature, wash with ethanol, and dry to obtain a CIZS / WO3 precursor, wherein the mass and volume ratio of CIZS, WO3, and H2O is 9.948-9.345 mg:0.052-0.655 mg:10-20 mL, preferably 9.9 mg:0.1 mg:15 mL;

[0008] B. Disperse Ni-CDs in water, add CIZS / WO3 precursor, stir evenly with ultrasonic stirring, place in a high-pressure reactor for hydrothermal reaction at 100-140°C for 3-5 hours, preferably at 110°C for 4 hours, cool to room temperature, wash with ethanol and dry to obtain a Ni-CDs / CIZS / WO3 composite photocatalyst; wherein the mass volume ratio of Ni-CDs, CIZS / WO3 precursor and water is 0.05-0.700 mg:9.95-9.3 mg:10-20 mL, preferably 0.1 mg:9.9 mg:15 mL.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the molar ratio of copper:indium:zinc in the CIZS quantum dots in step A is 12:14:7.

[0010] In the preferred disclosed example of the present invention, the CIZS quantum dots described in step A are homemade, and the following is a preparation method thereof: 0.2540g Cu(OAc)2·H2O, 0.4867g In(NO3)3∙4.5H2O and 0.1390g Zn(OAc)2∙2H2O (used as metal precursors) are dissolved in 8ml deionized water containing 0.4537g L-cysteine ​​(used as a protective agent), and ultrasonically dispersed uniformly. The pH value of the mixed solution is adjusted to 8.5 with 1.0M NaOH solution, and then 0.183g thioacetamide is added; after continuing to stir for 20min, it is transferred to a 50mL polytetrafluoroethylene-lined stainless steel autoclave and reacted at 110°C for 4h; after natural cooling, ethanol is added, collected by centrifugation, washed three times with deionized water / ethanol, dispersed in deionized water, and set aside.

[0011] In the preferred disclosed example of the present invention, the WO3 described in step A is homemade, and the following is a preparation method thereof: 0.330g Na2WO4·2H2O and 0.288g citric acid are dissolved in 30mL of deionized water in sequence, and then 3mL of 6mol / LHCl is added dropwise under stirring, stirred for 30min, and then transferred to a reactor and treated at 120°C for 10h. After natural drying, it is washed three times with deionized water and dried at 60°C for 12h to obtain WO3 powder.

[0012] In a preferred disclosed example of the present invention, the nickel-carbon quantum dots (Ni-CDs) described in step B are homemade, and the following is a preparation method thereof: 1.05 g of citric acid and 0.335 mL of ethylenediamine are dissolved in 10 mL of deionized water and stirred evenly; the solution is transferred to a 20 mL polytetrafluoroethylene-lined autoclave and heated at 180° C. for 5 h; the reactor is cooled to room temperature by water or naturally, 100 mg of anhydrous nickel sulfate is added, and Ni-CDs are obtained by dialysis, and the solution is black and transparent.

[0013] The Ni-CDs / CIZS / WO3 composite photocatalyst prepared according to the method of the present invention has a 0D-0D morphology supported on 2D nanosheets. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) images of the Ni-CDs / CIZS / WO3 composite further show that the spacing of 0.24 nm is attributed to the CIZS (121) crystal plane, the spacing of 0.21 nm is attributed to the CDs (101) plane, and the spacing of 0.26 nm is attributed to the WO3 (200) crystal plane. This demonstrates the successful combination of CIZS, WO3, and Ni-CDs.

[0014] Another object of the present invention is to apply the prepared Ni-CDs / CIZS / WO3 composite photocatalyst to photocatalytic hydrogen production.

[0015] Photocatalytic activity evaluation:

[0016] Under visible light conditions, 0.01 g of catalyst and 0.528 g of L-ascorbic acid were added to the photoreactor, and N2 gas was introduced at a high flow rate. After the gas in the bottle was completely exhausted, a customized power (100 mW / cm2) was turned on under magnetic stirring conditions. -2 ) and sampled and analyzed every 1 h.

[0017] The amount of H2 is calculated. Beneficial effects

[0019] (2) WO3 has a nanosheet structure, CIZS quantum dots and Ni-CDs can be uniformly loaded on WO3, and the 0D / 2D combination effectively increases the specific surface area for charge consumption.

[0020] (3) This invention is the first to demonstrate the use of CDs as a charge transfer medium between a conductor and a semiconductor to enhance the charge transfer rate and achieve efficient photocatalytic hydrogen production. Under visible light excitation, photogenerated electrons are rapidly transferred through the carbon quantum dots to the nickel substrate to participate in the hydrogen evolution reaction, significantly reducing the occurrence of recombination and significantly improving photocatalytic performance.
