The invention discloses a
cobalt nickel phosphate,
indium zinc sulfide and
cobalt oxide composite photocatalyst as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the field of
photocatalysis. The preparation process comprises the following steps: mixing an
aqueous solution of a
nickel source and a
cobalt source with an
aqueous solution of a
phosphine source for reaction; calcining the
solid to obtain Ni2CoPOx, and adding the Ni2CoPOx into the ZnIn2S4 precursor solution; and after the reaction is completed, Ni2CoPOx (at) ZnIn2S4 is obtained. The preparation method comprises the following steps: dissolving
polyvinylpyrrolidone in a mixed
solvent of
distilled water and
methanol, then adding Ni2CoPOx (at) ZnIn2S4, dropwise adding tributyl
phosphorus, and stirring; dropwise adding a
cobalt chloride solution, and stirring and reacting at normal temperature; and centrifuging, collecting solids, washing and
drying to obtain the Ni2CoPOx (at) ZnIn2S4 (at) CoOx composite photocatalyst. Ni2CoPOx and CoOx can be used as water oxidation active sites to produce
hydrogen peroxide. Meanwhile, due to the introduction of Ni2CoPOx and CoOx clusters, the separation efficiency of
photon-generated carriers can be effectively improved, the light
absorption capacity is enhanced, and the photocatalytic full-water
decomposition performance is further remarkably improved. The
hydrogen production rate of the Ni2CoPOx (at) ZnIn2S4 (at) CoOx composite photocatalyst is 1541.2 [mu] mol.g <-1 >. H <-1 >, and the
hydrogen peroxide production rate of the Ni2CoPOx (at) ZnIn2S4 (at) CoOx composite photocatalyst reaches 1381.1 [mu] mol.g <-1 >. H <-1 >.
