Abstract

The invention provides a nanotube with a coaxial heterojunction structure of an ordered array and a preparation method for a nanotube array film with the coaxial heterojunction structure. A surface is formed by an under potential sedimentation process to chemically limit growth and the epitaxial growth is realized from the angle of a monoatomic layer. An epitaxial sensibilization heterogeneous phase is uniformly covered on the tube wall of the TiO2 nanotube to form the coaxial heterojunction structure together with the nanotube array so as to avoid the phenomenon that an epitaxial sensibilization layer blocks the nanotube. The coaxial heterojunction structure cannot reduce specific surface area and adsorbability of the TiO2 nanotube array, is beneficial to improve the contact area of a sensitizing agent and the TiO2 surface and can effectively improve the visible light response performance of the TiO2 nanotube ordered array. The photoelectric conversion efficiency of the CdS/TiO2 coaxial heterojunction nanotube array prepared by the method reaches 8.13 percent under the full spectrum simulated sun illumination. The CdS/TiO2 coaxial heterojunction nanotube array can be widely applied to the fields of photochemical catalysis, solar cell, gas sensing, biomedicine and the like.

Description

A kind of coaxial heterojunction TiO 2Nano-tube array and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of 1-dimention nano pipe array, be specifically related to a kind of nanotube of coaxial heterojunction structure of oldered array, and the preparation method with nano-pipe array thin film of this coaxial heterojunction structure.
Background technology
TiO 2Nano-tube array has good photocatalytic activity and electricity conversion.TiO 2Belong to wide band gap semiconducter, its maximum absorption wavelength is in ultraviolet region, especially, and the high-activity nano TiO of development in recent years 2Photocatalyst is owing to quantum size effect causes the further blue shift of its optical absorption band.Because UV-light accounts for the sunlight total energy less than 5%, therefore, how research makes TiO 2Photocatalytic activity expand to visible region, thereby utilize sunlight to carry out exciting of photo-generated carrier efficiently, have great importance.For this reason, many investigators pass through TiO 2The surface modification of nano-tube array is improved its absorption to visible light, has developed to have visible light-responded TiO 2Nano-tube array.

Fig. 4-6 is for owing the analysis chart of electromotive force current potential for gained sample under the-0.65V mode of deposition.
As seen from Figure 4, on anatase-type titanium oxide nano-tube array substrate, the several main diffraction peak of CdS occurred, as seen under this current potential, Cd and S element can both be at TiO 2Deposit on the nano-tube array substrate.In Fig. 5, the relative content of Cd and S element is less under-0.65V mode of deposition as can be seen, and atomic percent accounts for 1.66% and 1.92% respectively, and its stoichiometric ratio is approximately 1: 1.Surface topography from Fig. 6 is in the TiO of-sedimentary coaxial heterojunction nano-tube array of 0.65V and former exposed cleaning 2The nanotube substrate does not have obvious difference, and (Fig. 6 a).Under higher magnification, can see that the nanotube tube wall adheres to the extremely thin CdS epitaxial film of one deck (shown in Fig. 6 b).
Fig. 7-9 is for owing the analysis chart of electromotive force current potential for gained sample under the-0.70V mode of deposition.Fig. 7 and Fig. 4 compare, and the diffraction peak of CdS is being strengthened as can be seen.Fig. 8 compares with Fig. 5, and the content of Cd and S is increasing, and is respectively 3.05% and 3.91%, and stoichiometric ratio still was approximately equal to 1: 1.The relative Fig. 6 of Fig. 9, the CdS of tube wall place epitaxial film thickens to some extent.Among Fig. 9 b, the surfaces externally and internally of visible nanotube tube wall has evenly covered one deck extension sensitizing layer (as white arrow indication among the figure).As seen, under-0.70V, the deposition effect of Cd and S element is better.
Figure 10-12 is for owing the analysis chart of electromotive force current potential for gained sample under the-0.75V mode of deposition.In Figure 10, except the diffraction peak of CdS continues the diffraction peak of hydrated sodium carbonate also to have occurred strengthening, illustrate that this moment sedimentation potential is enough negative, deposit in the sedimentary absorption that has also occurred organic complex EDTA simultaneously of CdS.Continue increasing, the spectrum peak of C and Na also to have occurred except the content of Cd and S among Figure 11, confirmed XRD diffraction result shown the conclusion of the diffraction peak of hydrated sodium carbonate can appear in-0.75V deposition.Being presented under this current potential CdS among Figure 12 has been particle island deposition, has lost the feature of owing the atomic layer epitaxy of electromotive force current potential two dimension.Because the particle island growth is a body phase deposition characteristics, sedimentation rate is very fast.Find out that from Figure 12 a some particle has stopped up the nanotube mouth of pipe, cause the nano-tube array specific surface area to reduce.
TiO with the CdS extension sensitization for preparing under the above-mentioned different embodiment conditions 2The thing of coaxial heterojunction nano-tube array reaches photoelectrochemical behaviour mutually and compares research.Figure 13 is the stack of the coaxial heterojunction nano-tube array sample XRD figure spectrum of three kinds of different sedimentation potentials acquisitions, can clearly find along with sedimentation potential is negative more, the diffraction peak of CdS is strengthened gradually, and with-0.7V is the best, on the titania nanotube array substrate, obtains some amount and do not had the single-phase CdS compound of other dephasign.The CdS/TiO of Figure 14 under different sedimentation potentials, preparing 2The not sensitization TiO that coaxial heterojunction nano-tube array sample and corresponding cleaning are exposed 2Density of photocurrent and the corresponding photoelectric transformation efficiency of nano-tube array substrate sample under full spectrum analog solar irradiation.As shown in the figure, exposed TiO is not cleaned in sensitization 2The photoelectric transformation efficiency of nano-tube array substrate sample is 1.65%.In-0.65V carried out the sensitization of narrow gap semiconductor CdS electrochemical atomic layer epitaxy to it after, its photoelectric transformation efficiency brought up to 6.24%.And-after 0.7V carried out sensitization, its photoelectric transformation efficiency had been issued to 8.13% at full spectrum analog solar irradiation, illustrate that the coaxial heterojunction light anode for preparing in this current potential sensitization has more excellent visible light-responded performance.With further negative the moving to-0.75V of current potential, its photoelectric transformation efficiency is dropped rapidly to 2.76%, the coaxial heterojunction structure that preparation under this current potential is described has gone to pot, cause the sealing of nanotube opening part, reduce the specific surface area of nano-tube array, thereby have influence on the normal performance of photoelectrochemical behaviour.Figure 15 is the TEM photo of prepared coaxial heterojunction, and from the photoelectrochemical behaviour test result, this coaxial heterojunction structure can effectively improve TiO 2The visible light-responded performance of nanotube oldered array is expected to (as light hydrolytic hydrogen production and heterojunction sensitization solar battery etc.) acquisition widespread use in the photocatalytic applications field.
In addition, be TiO owing to what adopt with special surface structure 2Nano-tube array substrate, its huge specific surface area may make that blank solution is difficult to preceding a kind of reaction soln is rinsed well.If two kinds of elements forming narrow gap semiconductor are at TiO 2On the nano-tube array substrate to owe the electromotive force current potential inequality, wherein a kind of electromotive force current potential of owing of element may be corresponding to the body phase sedimentation potential of another kind of element.Therefore, if the reaction soln flushing is clean inadequately, also have residual preceding a kind of reaction soln to exist when introducing a kind of reaction soln, then adopt when owing the electromotive force current potential and deposit a kind of element, the sedimentary phenomenon of block island may appear in residual another kind of element under this current potential.Given this, the invention provides two kinds of methods and solve and adopt when owing electromotive force and depositing a kind of element, the sedimentary problem of block island appears in residual another kind of element:
A, because the pH value of deposit solution has bigger influence to owing the electromotive force sedimentation potential, therefore the pH value by regulator solution is extremely identical can transfer to unanimity with the electromotive force current potential of owing of two kinds of constituent element elements of deposited compound.
B, by in solution, introducing organic solvent, as ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) (EDTA2-(C 10H 14O 8N 2Na 2.2H 2O)), utilize the multiple structure of functional groups of organic solvent and sedimentary ion to carry out chelating, reduce the activity of deposition ion in solution, can significantly change and owe the electromotive force sedimentation potential.
But the method for combined with electrochemical codeposition afterwards, make it to owe electromotive force current potential zone and deposit each composed atom of extension sensitizing layer simultaneously at each element, avoided occurring the sedimentary phenomenon of residual element block island, the heterogeneous phase epitaxy layer of final acquisition covers on the nano-tube array tube wall equably, i.e. the on all four coaxial heterojunction nano-tube array structure of the surface topography of the surface tissue of epitaxial film and lower floor's nanotube.
With extension sensitization CdS narrow gap semiconductor is example, and a curve is that this nano-tube array substrate is at 10mM CdSO among Figure 16 4+ 50mM Na 2SO 4Contain cyclic voltammetry curve in the Cd unit cellulose solution, solution adopts ammoniacal liquor that the pH value is transferred to 8.5.The c curve is that this nano-tube array substrate is at 2mM Na among Figure 16 2S.9H 2O contains cyclic voltammetry curve in the S solution, also adopts ammoniacal liquor that the pH value is transferred to 8.5.A curve and c curve among contrast Figure 16, two kinds of elements of Cd and S are at TiO 2Owe electromotive force current potential and inequality on the nano-tube array substrate, then can make the electromotive force of owing of two kinds of constituent element elements be positioned at identical potential region by adding organic solvent.The b curve is and adds the TiO that obtains behind the organic solvent EDTA among Figure 16 2The nano-tube array substrate is at 10mM CdSO 4+ 0.15M
Cyclic voltammetry curve in the EDTA solution.As seen the pH value by regulator solution with introduce organic solution and can transfer to the electromotive force current potential of owing of two kinds of constituent element elements of deposited compound consistent with multiple structure of functional groups.
In sum, the present invention has raising TiO really 2The effect of the visible light-responded performance of nanotube oldered array; the foregoing description only is a preferable embodiment of the present invention; the protection domain that is not intended to limit the invention, all change and modifications of carrying out according to spirit of the present invention and design all should be included in protection scope of the present invention.
