The invention discloses a method for protecting a
metal photoelectric
cathode by using photo-assisted electrochemical
sodium-doped enhanced TiO2. According to the method, the characteristic that TiO2 can generate a large number of high-energy photo-induced electrons and holes after being excited by light so that the reaction activity of TiO2 is greatly enhanced is utilized, illumination is assisted when TiO2 is subjected to electrochemical treatment, so that
sodium ions are efficiently embedded into TiO2, a good
doping effect is achieved, and the photoelectric
cathode protection capability of TiO2 on
metal is greatly enhanced. According to the photo-assisted
electrochemical doping technology, the
doping content can be adjusted by changing the illumination intensity, the
negative voltage and the
electrolyte concentration, so that the photoelectric property and the photoelectric
cathode protection property of TiO2 are regulated and controlled. Compared with the traditional methods such as high-temperature
roasting,
plasma injection or hydrothermal method, the
doping method not only can improve the doping efficiency, but also has the advantages of being simpler to operate, more accurate and controllable, short in time consumption and low in cost, is suitable for TiO2 materials in various forms, and is also easy to implement on a large scale.
