Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of a black phosphorus-like material and titanium dioxide composite photocatalyst, belonging to the technical field of semiconductor devices.
Background
The current society develops rapidly, human consumption on environmental resources and energy is more and more, traditional fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum, natural gas and the like still occupy a large proportion, and with the trend that the human society develops exponentially to increase the energy demand, when limited fossil fuels are determined to be exhausted, the development of the globally-explored fossil energy is estimated to be only dozens of years for human beings. And with the consumption of the traditional fossil fuel, a large amount of pollutant emission is inevitably generated, so that the ecological environment is seriously damaged, and the survival and development of human beings are also really influenced.
In order to solve the energy problem and the environmental problem caused by the conventional energy, there is an urgent need for a new energy source which can replace the conventional fossil fuel and is environmentally friendly. Hydrogen is just such a suitable new energy source, which does not imply extremely high energy density and the product water after combustion does not affect the environment. A photocatalytic technology developed in recent years is a technology for performing environmental purification and energy conversion by using solar energy. The energy conversion is to convert the energy in the sunlight into chemical energy which can be utilized by utilizing a photocatalysis technology, and decompose water into hydrogen with high-density energy.
The core of the photocatalytic technology is the preparation of a high-activity photocatalyst and the research of a reaction mechanism, and the currently applied photocatalyst is mainly a semiconductor catalyst. The core principle is that under the action of illumination, the interior of a semiconductor crystal can absorb photon energy to generate electron-hole separation, electrons are excited onto a conduction band, holes are left on a valence band, electrons in the conduction band have strong reducibility, and H in water can be separated+Reduced to hydrogen and the cavity can react with water molecules to produce oxygen and H+
There are many types of semiconductors commonly used today, such as common TiO2,ZnO,SnO2And the like, conventional wide bandgap semiconductor catalysts. TiO2 is the most representative catalytic material, but TiO2 has wide band gap, relatively low utilization efficiency of absorbed sunlight and easy recombination of photo-generated electron-hole pairs, and greatly influences the catalytic efficiency of TiO 2.
In recent years, new semiconductor materials have been developed, and a series of two-dimensional semiconductor materials, such as graphene, phosphorus alkene and MoS, have appeared2And the like, which have many advantages over conventional three-dimensional materials. Recently, a black phosphorus-like material has been receiving a wide attention, and the material has similar characteristics with the phosphene and has better stability performance compared with the phosphene. The invention selects black phosphorus-like materials GeSe and TiO2 to combine into II type semiconductor photocatalyst, the photocatalyst effectively improves the light utilization rate and reduces the recombination efficiency of photo-generated electron hole pairs.
