The invention discloses a nanometer photo-catalyst used in producing
hydrogen by decomposing water under visible
light response and application of the nanometer photo-catalyst. The catalyst is a
nanocomposite which is formed by taking a one-dimensional
organic semiconductor nanofiber as a framework,
coating the surface of the framework with an inorganic
semiconductor titanium dioxide nanolayer and uniformly loading
platinum nanoparticles, wherein the
organic semiconductor nanofiber is prepared by self-assembling super molecules of
perylene diimide and cycle-expanding derivatives,
naphthalene diimide derivatives or hexabenzobenzene
diimide derivatives with the photochemical stability, D-A structures and visible
light response, then
titanium dioxide is directly loaded in situ in a body phase organic solution and
platinum is reduced and deposited through
ultraviolet light in a photo-
catalysis aqueous solution system. The catalyst is novel in structure, low in cost and available; the preparation process of the catalyst is simple, environmentally-friendly, low in
energy consumption and suitable for preparation in scales; the catalyst is capable of decomposing water in the visible light to prepare the
hydrogen, has the actual and wide application prospects in preparation of the
hydrogen through decomposing the water in
solar light and provides a novel idea and an important reference for forming an efficient photo-catalyst responding to the visible light.
