[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] The present invention provides a technical solution: a TiO 2 / Carbon felt photothermal-catalytic material preparation method, comprising the following steps: S1, glacial acetic acid and Ti(OC 4 H 9 ) 4 Slowly add anhydrous ethanol to form solution A, and the mass percentage of solution A is: 8% glacial acetic acid, Ti(OC 4 H 9 ) 4 The deionized water is 20% and the anhydrous ethanol is 72%; deionized water is added to another portion of anhydrous ethanol to form a B solution, and the mass percentage content of the B solution is: deionized water is 30% and anhydrous ethanol is 70%; HCl is used to adjust the pH value of the B solution so that the pH of the B solution is ≤3; S2. Heat treat the cut CF in air at 450 ºC for 2 h to remove impurities on the surface of carbon felt (CF) and increase oxygen-containing functional groups; then ultrasonically treat in acetone solution for 30 min to remove the remaining organic matter on the CF, then ultrasonically wash away the acetone with deionized water, and then dry in an oven at 80 ºC; S3. Use a spray gun to evenly spray solution A onto CF and let it stand for 2 hours to allow solution A to be fully absorbed by CF and the anhydrous ethanol in solution A to evaporate; S4. After standing, spray solution B onto CF using a spray gun on a 30 ºC heating plate. Ti(OC4H9)4 in CF reacts with solution B for hydrolysis, and then the solution is aged at 40 ºC for 8 hours. S5. The aged CF was dried completely in an oven at 80 °C, and finally calcined in a tube furnace at 450 °C for 2 h at a heating rate of 3 °C / min to obtain TiO 2 / Carbon felt photothermal-catalytic materials; This embodiment uses the abundant micropores on the surface of CF to hydrolyze and age the catalyst (TiO 2 ) small molecules are “loaded” into the micropores on the CF surface; TiO 2 The precursor was hydrolyzed and grown on CF, and then calcined in a tube furnace to obtain TiO 2 / Carbon felt photothermal-catalytic material; This preparation method produces a confinement effect on the nanocatalyst, increases the specific surface area of ​​the catalyst, and avoids the problem of the traditional catalyst loading method being unstable and easy to fall off; TiO was synthesized by confined area 2 TiO is confined in the pores of CF to maintain its nanoscale size and form a macroscopic dual-function evaporator; TiO is evenly distributed on CF. 2 It provides more reaction sites for photocatalysis and increases the number of reflections of incident light, which not only enhances the photocatalytic and light absorption capabilities, but also the reduction in CF pore size enhances the capillary effect and ensures stable water transport capacity.

[0019] See also Figure 1 The TiO 2 SEM image of the photothermal-catalytic material of carbon felt.
