[0048] The application provides an application of the eosin Co3S4 nanosheet array / graphene composite photocatalyst, and the composite photocatalyst prepared by the preparation method of the eosin Co3S4 nanosheet array / graphene composite photocatalyst is used for visible light photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.

[0049] The specific steps that the composite photocatalyst is used for visible light photocatalytic hydrogen evolution are as follows:

[0050] The prepared photocatalyst is evaluated for the performance of water photolysis hydrogen production by using a sealed quartz reactor (50mL) provided with a sealing rubber sheet. The reaction mixture is composed of 15mg of eosin Y (denoted as EY, as a photosensitizer) and 1mg of the prepared Co3S4 nanosheet array / graphene as a cocatalyst and a mixed solution of H2O / TEOA (5:1, 6mL). Then, the quartz reactor is filled with high-purity argon, and the excess oxygen in the system is discharged, the reaction system is placed in the dark, and stirring is continuously performed for 30min. Subsequently, the quartz tube is placed on a magnetic stirrer, and a xenon lamp (300W, λ100W) is turned on. The quartz tube is placed on a magnetic stirrer, and the reaction is performed, after the light irradiation is performed for 2h, the yield of H2 is analyzed by using a thermal conductivity detector (TCD).

[0051] Further preferably, in the above scheme, the graphene oxide can be prepared by using an improved Hummers method, compared with the graphene oxide prepared by using the other two oxidation-reduction methods, the graphene oxide has high safety, and can obtain a sheet structure of wrinkled graphene oxide, and contains rich oxygen-containing functional groups, has good dispersibility in an aqueous solution and the like.

[0052] The specific preparation process of the graphene oxide is as follows:

[0053] Add 10 g of 400 mesh powdered flake graphite powder to 230 mL of concentrated H2SO4 with moderate stirring, and cool the solution to below 5°C in an ice bath. With stirring, gradually add 30 g of KMnO4, and maintain the temperature of the mixture below 20°C by cooling. Then, heat the solution to 35°C in a water bath, and continue stirring for 2 h. Subsequently, dilute the mixture with 500 ml of deionized water in an ice bath to maintain the temperature below 50°C for 10 min. Shortly after further dilution with 1.5 L of deionized water, then add 80 ml of 30% H2O2 to the mixture, and a yellow-brown product forms with bubbling. Centrifuge the mixture and wash with a 1:10 aqueous HCl solution to remove metal ions, and then wash with deionized water six times to remove the acid. Thereafter, dialyze the mixture for one week, and then dry at 60°C to obtain the final graphene oxide sample.

[0054] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects:

[0055] (1) The Co3S4 nanosheet array-graphene (Co3S4-GR) composite material has the characteristics of low density, large specific surface area and large void space, and the combination of GO and transition metal sulfide nanostructure can significantly improve the photocatalytic activity of the semiconductor photocatalyst.

[0056] (2) The synthesis of the composite photocatalyst by the low-temperature reflux method and the low-temperature sulfuration method has the characteristics of simple operation, low manufacturing cost, simple production process and macroscopic preparation.

[0057] In order to verify the effectiveness of the application, the existing cobalt hydroxide nanosheet array-graphene (Co(OH)2-GR) composite material, blank cobalt sulfide (Co3S4) nanoparticles and the Co3S4 nanosheet array / graphene composite material prepared by the application are used as catalysts for testing, and the specific testing process is as follows:

[0058] Take 5 ml of water (H2O), 1 ml of triethanolamine (TEOA), 15 mg of eosin, and 1 mg of catalyst, and ultrasonically mix them uniformly, and then pass argon gas for half an hour. Place it under visible light for 2 h. Figure 5 As shown in the table, the hydrogen gas generated by the composite photocatalytic decomposition of water of the application is significantly higher than that of Co(OH)2-GR and blank cobalt sulfide, and the Co3S4-10% GR composite material prepared in Example 4 of the application has a GR content of 10%, and the photocatalytic decomposition of water generates 90298 μmol·g -1 ·h -1 of hydrogen gas. It is significantly better than the 17539 μmol·g -1 ·h -1hydrogen and blank Co3S4 nanoparticles produced 50322.99 pmol g -1 ·h -1 hydrogen, thus the present application has higher photocatalytic activity compared to the prior art.

[0059] From the above, it can be seen that the sulfuration of Co(OH)2-GR nanosheets enhances the H2 adsorption capacity of Co3S4-GR composite, increases the surface active sites, and improves the charge separation / transferring, and the nanosheet array structure has the advantages of low density, large specific surface area, and large void space. The water splitting hydrogen production activity of the Co3S4 nanosheet array / graphene composite (Co3S4-GR) under visible light irradiation is significantly higher than that of Co(OH)2-GR and blank Co3S4. The present application can provide a new idea for rationally designing efficient, abundant transition metal sulfide-based cocatalysts on graphene and other two-dimensional platforms, and the photocatalyst is expected to be applied to industrial wastewater treatment, solar hydrogen production, and organic synthesis.
