The application discloses a
chlorophyll-modified CdS / UiO-67-NH2 artificial photocatalyst and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the field of photochemical energy conversion and
photocatalytic degradation. The application relates to the preparation of an artificial photocatalyst
composite material, and mainly solves the problems of poor catalytic performance of the material, fast carrier recombination and complicated preparation. The application has the following steps: firstly,
zirconium tetrachloride, 2-amino-4,4'-biphenyldicarboxylic acid and
acetic acid are added into a N,N-
dimethylformamide solvent and stirred, and then heated; after cooling, the product is cleaned with
ethanol, and
vacuum drying is conducted to obtain UiO-67-NH2
powder; secondly, the UiO-67-NH2 is dispersed in deionized water, and then
cadmium nitrate tetrahydrate and
thioacetamide are added and dissolved, and then heated and continuously stirred; after cooling, the product is cleaned with deionized water, and
vacuum drying is conducted to obtain CdS / UiO-67-NH2
powder; thirdly,
spinach is ground in
ethanol, and then a large amount of
ethanol is added and stirred, and then centrifuged, and then the upper liquid is taken to obtain a
chlorophyll solution; and fourthly, a proper amount of CdS / UiO-67-NH2
powder is taken into a
mortar, the
chlorophyll solution is added, and then ground until dry to obtain Chl@CdS / UiO-67-NH2
composite material powder.
