The invention provides a preparation method of a
gold cluster /
titanium dioxide nano photocatalyst, belongs to the technical field of inorganic nano materials, and can solve the problem of low selectivity of 2, 5-furandicarboxaldehyde under visible light. According to the technical scheme, the preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) uniformly dispersing a ligand in deionized water to obtain a solution A; (2) uniformly dispersing
chloroauric acid in deionized water to obtain a solution B; (3) gradually adding the solution A into the solution B under stirring, and performing heat treatment at 70 DEG C to obtain a
gold cluster solution C; (4) uniformly dispersing the
titanium precursor, a catalyst and
hydrogen peroxide in deionized water, and performing
hydrothermal reaction at 180 DEG C to obtain a
titanium dioxide nano material; (5) uniformly dispersing a
titanium dioxide nano material and thiohydracrylic acid in deionized water, adding the solution C, uniformly mixing, and carrying out
ultraviolet lamp illumination to obtain a solution D; and (6) centrifuging the solution D, washing with deionized water,
drying at 60 DEG C to obtain golden
powder, and performing vacuum heat treatment to obtain the
gold cluster /
titanium dioxide nano photocatalyst. The selectivity of the obtained photocatalytic material to 2, 5-furandicarboxaldehyde reaches 65%.
