This invention relates to the field of photoelectrocatalytic
organic synthesis technology, specifically to a composite photoelectrode for photoelectrocatalytic preparation of
ketone compounds from polyols, its preparation method, and its application. The method includes: dropping a
dimethyl sulfoxide solution of
vanadium acetylacetonate onto an FTO conductive glass plated with
bismuth iodide, wherein the ratio of the amount of
vanadium acetylacetonate to the deposition area of
bismuth iodide is 10-15 mmol:1 cm². 2 The
bismuth oxy
iodide deposition on the FTO conductive glass was carried out until the
dimethyl sulfoxide solution of
vanadium acetylacetonate completely covered the bismuth oxy iodide deposition, followed by
calcination to obtain a BiVO4 photoanode. An
ethanol solution of [2-(9H-
carbazole-9-yl)ethyl]phosphonic acid was spin-coated onto the BiVO4 photoanode and dried to obtain a 2PACz / BiVO4 photoanode. A second constant-potential electrodeposition was performed, followed by washing to obtain the composite photoelectrode. The
calcination conditions included a
calcination temperature of 600-800℃, a calcination time of 2-4 h, and a heating rate of 8-12℃ / min. This composite photoelectrode can photocatalyze the conversion of polyols into
ketone compounds.
