The application belongs to the field of photocatalytic materials, and particularly relates to a silver metavanadate composite
cadmium sulfide photocatalytic material, a preparation method thereof and application thereof in photocatalytic
hydrogen production. The preparation method comprises the following steps: taking a
sulfur source and a
cadmium source, adding
ethylenediamine, stirring and uniformly mixing; transferring to a
hydrothermal reaction kettle for reaction; after the reaction is completed, taking the obtained suspension, centrifuging, washing and
drying to obtain
cadmium sulfide powder; adding water to the
cadmium sulfide, adding a silver source and a
vanadium source under stirring, stirring, transferring to a reaction kettle for
hydrothermal reaction, then centrifuging, washing and
drying to obtain the silver metavanadate composite
cadmium sulfide photocatalytic material. The photocatalytic material has a relatively obvious
catalytic effect in photocatalytic
hydrogen production reaction. Under the
irradiation of a
xenon lamp and under the condition of a set
reaction system, the
hydrogen production rate of the photocatalyst reaches 228.8 micromoles per
gram per hour, which is obviously superior to that of a pure
cadmium sulfide catalyst.
