Composite photocatalyst with full-spectrum absorption characteristic and preparation method thereofTechnical Field
The invention belongs to the field of photocatalysis, and particularly relates to a composite photocatalyst with a full-spectrum absorption characteristic and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Bi of graphene-like layered structure2Se3It is considered to be one of the most promising topological insulator materials due to its simple band structure, energy-blown-body band gap much larger than room temperature. The topological insulator is a novel quantum material state discovered in recent years, and has great application prospect in the aspects of energy-consumption-free transmission, spintronics, quantum computers and the like. The novel quantum surface state of the topological insulator can realize high-mobility non-dissipative electrical transmission, thereby creating a perfect conductive channel. Although of narrow band gap, Bi2Se3(0.3eV) TiO may be added2The spectrum absorption range of the light source is expanded to a near infrared regionThe overall photocatalytic performance is not significantly improved. This is because Bi2Se3Can not react with TiO2The band gap matching of the two-phase alternating current-direct current converter forms type II band edge connection, which is not beneficial to the separation and the transportation of photo-generated charges. Therefore, based on the band structure theory, this patent is in Bi2Se3With TiO2Is added with one g-C3N4And the band gap connecting layer is used as a matching transition between the two layers. g-C3N4As a visible light photocatalyst having excellent properties, not only has a suitable oxidation-reduction potential (CB: -0.52 eV; VB: 1.88eV), but also it reacts with Bi2Se3The Fermi level connection between the two can play a role in band edge reforming. In the multi-level composite heterostructure, each unit layer plays its own role and influences each other, g-C3N4Not only used as TiO2And Bi2Se3The band gap transition layer can be used as a sensitizing layer of visible light; and the topological insulator Bi2Se3Then as a near infrared absorption layer, the heterogeneous interface and topological surface state thereof promote the rapid separation and transportation of photo-generated charges.
Although the topological insulator Bi2Se3The related photocatalyst has been reported a little, but most cases do not add an energy band transition layer, let alone Bi is not considered2Se3The problem of matching with the substrate bonding, although increasing the light absorption problem, is not ideal for carrier transport efficiency, resulting in low overall photocatalytic efficiency. In addition, these processes generally involve organic solvents and harmful by-products, and in most cases the reaction processes are very difficult to control and the yields are also not high.
