[0002] Photocatalytic hydrogen production technology can directly convert solar energy into hydrogen energy. This technology uses photocatalysts to stimulate electrons to jump from the valence band to the conduction band under light irradiation, forming photogenerated electron-hole pairs, which in turn trigger the redox reaction of water to generate hydrogen and oxygen. As a clean and renewable energy source, hydrogen energy has the advantages of high calorific value, easy storage and transmission, and is expected to replace traditional fossil fuels in the future and become an important energy source to promote sustainable social development.

[0003] The full absorption and utilization of incident light is not only the core factor in improving the energy conversion efficiency of photocatalytic hydrogen production technology, but also directly related to the cost of the produced hydrogen and the promotion and application of this technology. In the existing technology, the main focus is on photocatalysts, that is, the development of photocatalysts with higher light absorption efficiency and wider light absorption range. However, in addition to the research and development of photocatalysts, reactor design is also the key to improving the utilization rate of light energy. By optimizing the structure of the reactor, the configuration of the light source, etc., the efficiency and economy of photocatalytic hydrogen production can be further improved.

[0004] The photocatalytic hydrogen production process is carried out in the reaction device. Since the photocatalytic hydrogen production technology involves multidisciplinary intersections, the design and optimization of the hydrogen production reaction device requires the comprehensive application of knowledge in multiple fields such as materials science, chemistry, and optics. Therefore, the development of efficient and stable photocatalytic hydrogen production reaction devices is of far-reaching significance for promoting the development of the hydrogen energy economy and realizing the green transformation of the energy structure. In recent years, the research and development of photocatalytic hydrogen production reaction devices has made significant progress, and a variety of new reactors have been designed, such as suspension reactors, fixed bed reactors, photocatalytic membrane reactors, reactors using concentrators, etc. These reactors have their own characteristics and effectively improve the efficiency and stability of photocatalytic hydrogen production. However, there are still the following problems to be solved: First, the utilization rate of light energy is low; second, the current photocatalytic hydrogen production reaction devices are mostly complex systems, containing multiple parts and components, which increases the complexity and maintenance difficulty of the system; third, the high cost of high-performance photocatalysts and optical components such as concentrators limits the commercial application of photocatalytic hydrogen production technology.

[0032] The current reactor designs in related technologies often have the following problems: first, the utilization rate of light energy is low; second, the current photocatalytic hydrogen production reaction devices are mostly complex systems, containing multiple parts and components, which increase the complexity of the system and the difficulty of maintenance; third, the cost of high-performance photocatalysts and optical components such as concentrators is high, which limits the commercial application of photocatalytic hydrogen production technology.

[0033] In order to solve the above technical problems, Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a photocatalytic hydrogen production reaction device, including a photocatalytic hydrogen production reactor 1, a light source 2 is arranged at the outer bottom of the photocatalytic hydrogen production reactor 1, a metal condensation plate 3 is arranged inside the photocatalytic hydrogen production reactor 1, and the metal condensation plate 3 is located in the upper middle part of the photocatalytic hydrogen production reactor 1 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the photocatalytic hydrogen production reactor 1.

The inner wall of the metal side plate 102 is set to a smooth surface.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, the quartz glass bottom plate 101 and the upper metal panel 103 are arranged opposite to each other, serving as the bottom and the top respectively, and the quartz glass bottom plate 101 and the upper metal panel 103 are fixedly connected to the metal side plate 102 respectively, and the specific fixing method is not limited, for example, it can be fixedly connected by threaded connection or welding.

[0040] Further, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The metal condensation plate 3 includes at least two metal thin plates 301, the metal thin plates 301 are located above the liquid level of the hydrogen-containing reaction liquid 108 and close to the upper metal panel 103, the plate surface of the lowest metal thin plate 301 in the metal condensation plate 3 facing the hydrogen-containing reaction liquid 108 is set to a smooth surface, one end of the metal thin plate 301 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the metal side plate 102, and the other end of the metal thin plate 301 is suspended, and the metal thin plate 301 is inclined and forms an angle of 10-80 degrees with the horizontal plane.

[0041] In a specific embodiment, one end of the metal sheet 301 is fixed to the inner wall of the metal side plate 102 by means of a threaded connection. The metal sheet 301 is tilted and forms an angle of 45 degrees with the horizontal plane. Other inclinations can be selected according to actual needs, and this embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0042] Specifically, a circulating water inlet and outlet 303 is provided on the metal side plate 102, and the circulating water inlet and outlet 303 is located above the liquid inlet 104. The circulating water inlet and outlet 303 is connected to the fixed end of the metal sheet 301. The circulating water inlet and outlet 303 transports the condensed circulating water 302 to the metal sheet 301. A reaction liquid condensation lower port 304 is provided below the fixed end of the metal sheet 301 which is located in the photocatalytic hydrogen production reactor 1 and is the lowest among the metal condensation plates 3.

[0043] It should be noted that a conventional water pipe (not shown in the figure) for the circulation of condensed circulating water 302 is correspondingly arranged on the metal sheet 301. The condensed circulating water 302 is transported from the circulating water inlet and outlet 303 to the circulating water inlet and outlet 303 through the metal sheet 301 through the conventional water pipe. The conventional water pipe can be a conventional PVC pipe or copper pipe, which is not limited in the present application. The metal sheet 301 can be a single-layer thin plate, and the conventional water pipe is laid on the upper surface of the metal sheet 301. The metal sheet 301 can also be a hollow thin plate, and the conventional water pipe is laid on the lower surface of the hollow metal sheet 301, which is not limited in the present application. Conventional water pipes are laid along the slope of the metal sheet 301 from top to bottom and may be in a zigzag shape, which is not limited in the present application, until the circulating water inlet and outlet 303 of the bottommost metal sheet 301 (i.e., the same conventional water pipe connects the circulating water inlet and outlet 303 of two adjacent metal sheets 301, which is used to respond to the above-described condensed circulating water 302 being transported from the circulating water inlet and outlet 303 through the metal sheet 301 to the circulating water inlet and outlet 303 of the adjacent metal sheet 301 through the conventional water pipe). The connection between the conventional water pipe and the metal sheet 301 adopts a suitable connection method, such as clip fixation, etc., which is not limited in the present application.

After the reaction liquid vapor is cooled by each layer of metal sheets 301 from bottom to top, the cooling droplets flow along the slope of each layer of metal sheets 301 to the next layer of metal sheets 301, and finally reach the bottom metal sheet 301, and drip into the hydrogen-containing reaction liquid 108 through the reaction liquid condensation lower port 304 to participate in the photocatalytic reaction again. After the above-mentioned circulating water condensation process, not only the hydrogen-containing reaction liquid 108 is fully utilized, but also the humidity collected from the hydrogen outlet 106 is greatly reduced and the purity of the hydrogen is greatly improved, thereby effectively reducing the subsequent drying cost of the produced hydrogen.

[0044] refer to Figure 3The principle of photocatalytic hydrogen production using the above-mentioned photocatalytic hydrogen production device is as follows:

[0045] A photocatalyst 107 and a hydrogen-containing reaction liquid 108 are added to the photocatalytic hydrogen production reactor 1, and the photocatalyst 107 is immersed in the hydrogen-containing reaction liquid 108. The light emitted by the light source 2 is transmitted through the quartz glass bottom plate 101 at the bottom of the photocatalytic hydrogen production reactor 1 and is absorbed by the photocatalyst 107 to carry out the photocatalytic hydrogen production reaction. The light not absorbed by the photocatalyst 107 in the photocatalytic hydrogen production reactor 1 is reflected by the smooth inner surface of the metal side plate 102 and the smooth inner surface of the lowest metal sheet 301 in the metal condensation plate 3, and is absorbed by the photocatalyst 107 again for the photocatalytic hydrogen production reaction. The hydrogen-containing reaction liquid 108 evaporated in the photocatalytic hydrogen production reactor 1 during the hydrogen production reaction is promptly condensed into liquid by the metal condensation plate 3 and reused. The hydrogen generated by photocatalysis is collected through the hydrogen outlet 106.
