Description

TiO 22/g-C3N4Preparation method of composite photocatalyst and preparation method of hydrogen
Technical Field

Background
With the development of times and science and technology, energy becomes a serious problem affecting national development patterns, geopolitics, environmental protection and ecology. As a representative of new energy, hydrogen energy represents a future development direction of new energy.
In the conventional method, hydrogen gas can be obtained by electrolysis of water, dehydrogenation reaction, or cracking. However, this method has disadvantages in that these techniques need to be carried out under high temperature conditions or require high energy consumption, and cannot be applied on a large scale. Another new approach has been to produce hydrogen by decomposing water with a semiconductor photocatalyst, which is low cost, chemically stable and environmentally friendly, and has been considered as one of the ideal options. However, because ZnO has a large forbidden band width (3.7eV), ultraviolet light must be used to excite the hydrogen production activity, but the ultraviolet light in sunlight only accounts for about 4%, and the application of ZnO in photocatalytic hydrogen production is also limited due to the excessively fast recombination rate of photon-generated carriers, resulting in an excessively low hydrogen production efficiency.

The heterojunction structure constructed by the semiconductor material obtained by the embodiment of the invention can effectively promote the rapid separation of a photon-generated carrier at a junction interface, thereby improving the photocatalytic activity of the photon-generated carrier. Compared with the traditional heterojunction structure, the direct Z-type heterojunction can endow the composite photocatalyst with stronger oxidation reduction capability, higher separation rate of a photon-generated carrier and the spectral response of the photon-generated carrier moving to a long wavelength, so that the hydrogen production efficiency can be further improved.

Compared with the traditional low-dimensional nano material, the photocatalyst with the three-dimensional hierarchical structure can simultaneously have large specific surface area, a mesoporous structure, a large number of reaction active points and higher light utilization efficiency, and because light rays can realize refraction and multiple reflection in the photocatalyst, the photocatalytic activity is enhanced.

For the above solution N2Degassing was carried out for 30min to remove air.

FIG. 2a is TiO2CNT10, CNT30, CNT50, CNT70 and g-C3N4X-ray diffraction pattern. To TiO 22The samples, whose diffraction peaks at 25.5 °,37.7 °,48.2 ° and 54.1 ° correspond to the (101), (004), (200) and (105) planes, respectively, represent TiO2An anatase phase was present. g-C3N4Characteristic peaks are shown at 13.1 ° and 27.5 °, corresponding to the (100) and (002) planes. The 13.1 ° peak indicates that g-C3N4 is a layered structure, as measured by the 27.5 ° peakThe g-C can be calculated3N4The interplanar spacing was 0.324 nm. No peak shift was observed for CNTx, indicating TiO2And g-C3N4In TiO2/g-C3N4The interlayer structure of the composite photocatalyst structure is not changed.
FIG. 2b shows TiO2,g-C3N4And TiO2/g-C3N4Fourier transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) of a composite photocatalyst. To TiO 22Sample at 475cm-1The absorption bands of (a) represent the tensile vibration modes of Ti-O and Ti-O-Ti in anatase crystals. For g-C3N4For example, 807, 1241,1324,1408, and 1580cm-1Peak position of (1) is g-C3N4Characteristic peak of (2). The above characteristic peaks were also observed in the CNTx sample, indicating that TiO2And g-C3N4In TiO2/g-C3N4The composite photocatalyst is not damaged.
FIGS. 2c to 2d show the results of the nitrogen adsorption and desorption tests of the catalyst. As can be seen from fig. 2c, for all samples, a type IV isotherm was shown, indicating the presence of mesopores. Further, on TiO2The hysteresis curve indicates H2 type mesopores having a pore structure, and H2 type mesopores are generally present in TiO2As can be seen on the nanoparticles. In addition, with g-C3N4The proportion of the mesoporous material in the CNTx is increased, and a hysteresis curve gradually shows layered H3 mesoporous. Combinations of H2 and H3 type mesopores were seen in the samples of CNT50 and CNT 70. H3 type mesopores are generally present in the g-C layer3N4In the structure.
Figure 2d is a graph of the pore size distribution. For TiO2And g-C3N4In other words, the pore size exhibits a bimodal distribution. For TiO2The sizes of the mesopores are mainly 3.5nm and 10nm for g-C3N4In particular, the sizes of the mesopores are mainly 3.8nm and 32 nm. The pore size was confirmed to be TiO2And g-C3N4All have mesoporous structures. Further analysis shows that for TiO2In a wordThe mesoporous size is more than 10 nm. For g-C3N4In other words, the size of the mesopores is mainly as much as 32 nm. To TiO 22And g-C3N4The mixed structure CNTx, mesoporous distribution, shows three pore size distributions, one of which is between 10nm and 32nm and 12nm, from which it can be concluded that TiO2And g-C3N4The mixture was very homogeneous. The blue shift of the peak position exhibited in CNTx is due to the small mesopore sizes of 10nm and 12 nm. As is clear from FIG. 2d, with g-C in CNTx3N4The surface area of the CNTx is obviously higher than that of pure TiO due to the increase of the content2(51.2m2/g) due to g-C3N4Has a large specific surface area (76.5 m)2In terms of/g). And the large specific surface area can provide more catalytic sites, thereby improving the performance of the photocatalyst. Specifically, the specific surface area of the CNT50 sample reached 61.1m2G, significantly higher than pure TiO2Thus, it is expected that enhanced photocatalytic activity can be obtained. Albeit g-C3N4Has the largest specific surface area, however, the photocatalytic activity of the CNT50 sample will also be improved due to the synergistic effect caused by the recombination.
FIG. 3 shows the microstructure of the photocatalyst under Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM). FIG. 3a is TiO2SEM picture of (1), from which TiO is seen2The sample has a layered spherical shape and flower-like structure with a diameter of several microns, and the nanosheets are assembled disorderly on the spherical structure. FIG. 3b is g-C3N4Nanosheet structure diagram, a typical graphene-like layered structure can be observed, indicating graphitic phase g-C formed after calcination3N4Nanosheets. These SEM images are consistent with the XRD analysis structure described previously. Figure 3c shows a SEM image of CNT50 in which the layered structure with flowers and spheres remains well, indicating calcination vs TiO2The morphology of (2) has no significant effect. However, for g-C3N4Nanosheets, g-C due to shrinkage caused by high temperature calcination3N4The layered structure shows a slight collapse. Further observations, shown in FIG. 3c, found that TiO2MicrospheresAnchored in wrinkled g-C3N4On the surface of the nanoplatelets. FIG. 3d is a typical CNT50 HRTEM image with lattice fringes with a spacing of 0.35nm made of anatase TiO2Is caused by the (101) plane of (a). For g-C3N4Nanoplatelets, which have relatively small crystallinity, no lattice fringes are observed. High crystallinity indicates high structural regularity and low defect density, and can increase g-C3N4The conductivity of the sample promotes the separation of photon-generated carriers, thereby improving the photocatalytic activity.
FIG. 4 is a photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study of the electrochemical structure of a composite photocatalyst. For the CNT50 sample, the measured spectrum of fig. 4a shows the signals for C, N, Ti, and O in the CNT 50. For g-C3N4O signal and TiO in2C signal in (C), suspected of contamination from air or equipment. FIG. 4b shows CNTs 50 and g-C3N4Medium high resolution C1s spectrum. The spectrum can be subdivided into two spectra, derived from g-C for a peak position of the binding energy at 284.8eV3N4Sp2 carbon hybridization signal in (a) and carbon by-products of graphitization. In addition, it is located at 288.2eV (for g-C)3N4) And 288.6eV (for CNT50) are derived from sp3 hybridization of N-C-N. Notably for CNT50, the above peak positions are relative to g-C3N4There is a significant forward shift, which should be due to the TiO in the CNT502And g-C3N4Is caused by a strong interaction. FIG. 4C is g-C3N4High resolution with N1s in CNT 50. Similarly, the spectral peak with binding energy at 398.5eV is derived from C-N ═ N in the C chain. Similarly, the N signal in CNT50 is relative to g-C3N4With a negative bias of 0.5eV, again indicating TiO 50 in the CNT502And g-C3N4Not only TiO2And g-C3N4Simple mixing of (1). Further, similar binding energy peak shifts were also found in the O1s and Ti2p spectra, and the above conclusion was further confirmed. While a close contact interface with strong interaction facilitates charge separation and transport for the formation of high quality heterojunctionsIs very important.
FIG. 4f is a thermogravimetric analysis of the sample, and from FIG. 4f, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to analyze g-C3N4The proportion of the compound photocatalyst and the thermal stability of the photocatalyst. TiO 22The thermal stability is better maintained until 800 ℃, and the g-C3N4It has been completely decomposed at 720 ℃. For the CNT50 sample, the total mass loss was 52.7% at temperatures above 720 deg.C, which is comparable to g-C3N4The complete decomposition is relevant at 720 ℃ and the percentage loss confirms the TiO2And g-C3N4The nominal proportions in CNT50 are quite accurate.
The light absorption properties of the photocatalyst can be seen in the ultraviolet-visible spectrum (UV-vis) of FIG. 5 a. For TiO2Its absorption peak is below 400nm because of its large bandwidth (-3.2 eV). For g-C3N4The absorption peak is extended to 430nm due to g-C3N4With a narrow bandwidth (-2.9 eV). For CNTx, there is a significant red shift in the absorption peak, which also means TiO2And g-C3N4Strong interaction between them. For the CNT50 sample, its light absorption range is g-C3N4In close proximity. Meanwhile, the narrower bandwidth means that under the same illumination intensity, more photogenerated electron-hole pairs can be generated, and the electron-hole pairs are in TiO2And g-C3N4The heterojunction interface is easier to separate, and compared with a single catalyst, the photocatalysis effect of the catalyst is improved.
Under the sun illumination, the TiO is treated2/g-C3N4The ability of the composite photocatalyst to generate hydrogen was verified. As shown in FIG. 6a, pure TiO2Using only energy in the ultraviolet spectrum, pure g-C3N4Has a faster electron-hole pair recombination rate, and thus for pure TiO2And g-C3N4In all, a lower hydrogen yield was exhibited. But adding TiO2And g-C3N4After mixing, a large increase in hydrogen production occurred. Such as an optimized CNT50 sample, whichThe hydrogen production rate reaches 4128 mu mol/h/g, and the product is TiO21.9 times of that of (A), and g-C3N47.7 times of. The reason for the improvement of the hydrogen production rate is that first, TiO2/g-C3N4The composite photocatalyst has a wider light absorption range, so that more photo-generated electron-hole pairs can be generated; second, TiO2And g-C3N4The high-quality heterojunction formed between the two layers leads the composite photocatalyst to have better separation efficiency and transportation of electron hole pairs; third, TiO2/g-C3N4The composite photocatalyst has larger specific surface area and can provide more catalytic activation points.
In addition to this, TiO2/g-C3N4The composite photocatalyst also has excellent stability. As seen in fig. 6b, for TiO2/g-C3N4After the composite photocatalyst is repeatedly used for three times under the same condition, the hydrogen amount generated by catalysis of the CNT50 does not fall, and the good photocatalytic stability of the CNT50 is reflected. Also as seen in FIG. 6c, TiO was further confirmed by comparing the FT-IR spectra of the old and new CNT50 samples, where no visible difference was found between the two lines2/g-C3N4The stability of the composite photocatalyst.
Fig. 7a is a photoluminescence spectrum (PL), with higher PL intensity indicating faster electron-hole pair recombination, meaning that the photocatalytic effect is weakened. As seen in FIG. 7a, at 450nm, g-C3N4Showed the highest PL intensity, CNT70 showed a moderate PL intensity. Lower PL intensity was shown for optimized CNT 50. This result is consistent with the higher hydrogen production rate of CNT 50.
FIGS. 7 b-c are the photoelectric response diagram and the electrochemical impedance spectrum. As shown in fig. 7b, compare to TiO2And g-C3N4CNTs 50 have a strong photocurrent density. Fig. 7c is an EIS Nyquist plot showing that CNT50 exhibits the smallest radius of the circular arc, indicating that CNT50 has a lower internal resistance to charge transport and thus higher photocatalytic activity.
Further, hydroxyl radical (. OH) can react with Terephthalic Acid (TA) to produce hydroxyterephthalic acid (TAOH), which produces fluorescence at 425nm under laser irradiation at 315nm, and thus can be used as a method for detecting the production of. OH. As shown in FIG. 7d, for the CNT50 sample, the PL intensity at 425nm monotonically increased with increasing illumination time. The phenomenon shows that OH free radicals are generated along with the consumption of holes, so that efficient electron-hole pair separation is caused, and the phenomenon is very important in the photocatalytic hydrogen production process.
FIG. 8 is TiO2/g-C3N4The heterojunction energy band diagram. Based on a standard hydrogen electrode, TiO2The valence band and the conduction band of (A) are respectively 2.91 and-0.29 eV, g-C3N4The valence and conduction bands were 1.68 and-1.22 eV, respectively. And E (. OH/OH)-) And E (. OH/H)2O) has an oxidation potential of 1.99eV and 2.68eV, respectively, and H2O/H2The reduction potential of (a) is-0.59 eV. Hypothesis of TiO2/g-C3N4The interface follows a conventional type II heterojunction, then H2O/H2Reduction potential and TiO2Has a potential difference of 0.3eV, which results in the free electrons not being able to pass from the TiO2Into H2In O to H2And O is separated. However, this is contrary to what we have actually observed is hydrogen production. Likewise, holes cannot be drawn from g-C3N4Valence band of to OH-Or H2And (4) in O. Thus, as an explanation, TiO2And g-C3N4Should be a Z-type heterojunction.
The electron hole transport mode should be as follows: TiO 22Electrons in the conduction band with g-C3N4Hole recombination in the valence band with TiO2In its valence band and g-C3N4The electrons in (b) accumulate in their conduction band (see fig. 8). Thus by constructing a Z-type heterojunction, the potential barrier for charge transfer disappears, resulting in TiO2/g-C3N4The heterojunction has excellent photocatalytic performance.
The foregoing is only a partial embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various modifications and decorations can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these modifications and decorations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
