The invention relates to the technical field of electrocatalytic materials, in particular to a SnSe piezoelectric catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: dispersing
selenium powder in deionized water, adding NaBH4
powder to obtain a
selenium source precursor solution, dispersing
sodium ascorbate in deionized water, adding
anhydrous SnCl2
powder to obtain a
tin source precursor solution, and adding the
selenium source precursor solution into the
tin source precursor solution to obtain a
mixed solution; the pH value of the
mixed solution is adjusted to 2-7, then the
mixed solution is subjected to a
hydrothermal reaction, and the SnSe piezoelectric catalyst is obtained through filtering and
drying in sequence. In a one-step hydrothermal
system, through coordinated regulation and control of pH and hydrothermal temperature, coordinated regulation of the SnSe material in the aspects of
nucleation, growth, valence evolution and defect structure is realized, a novel piezoelectric catalytic material with a mixed valence structure and
nanorod morphology is successfully constructed, the
piezoelectric polarization capability, the carrier separation efficiency and the ROS generation capability of the material are remarkably enhanced, and the preparation method is simple and easy to implement. And excellent organic
pollutant degradation performance is obtained.
