The invention discloses a preparation method and an application of a ZnIn2S4-based
heterojunction material. The preparation method comprises the following steps: dissolving
indium nitrate,
zinc nitrate and
thioacetamide into a
solvent, carrying out solvothermal treatment, cooling, centrifuging, and
drying to obtain the ZnS / ZnIn2S4 material. The
composite material is obtained through a one-step water method, and preparation is simple. The
heterojunction material is obtained through a one-
step method, a tighter interface is achieved, an interface
electric field is constructed, separation of
electron-hole pairs is promoted,
electron transmission is facilitated, the
photocatalytic reaction efficiency is improved, and then the photocatalytic activity is improved. When the photocatalyst is applied to photocatalytic
benzyl alcohol oxidation, the photocatalytic efficiency of the photocatalyst is remarkably improved, and controllable product selectivity is realized. According to the method,
benzyl alcohol is almost completely converted within 1 h, the
reaction rate is as high as 10 mmol g <-1 > h <-1 >, the selectivity of obtained
benzaldehyde is 98.2%, and in addition, the selectivity of C-C products is 86.2%.
