摘要: 为解决逐渐严重的能源和环境问题,光电化学(PEC)水分解技术作为一种极具潜力的利用太阳能分解水的制氢技术,得到了广泛的研究.采用简单的旋涂退火法成功制备了Bi2WO6/NiO复合材料,在0.5 MNa2SO4电解液中,火焰退火制备的Bi2WO6/NiO光阳极的光电流在1.23 VRHE下达到0.04 mA/cm2,是仅由Bi2WO6薄膜产生的光电流密度的4倍左右,展现出了良好的光电催化活性和较好的稳定性.实验表明,Bi2WO6/NiO复合材料的形成提高了对太阳光的利用率,有效地抑制了光生载流子的复合,促进界面电荷转移过程.Abstract: To help ease the increasingly serious energy crisis and environmental pollution, photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting, as a highly promising technology using solar energy, has received widespread research attention. First, Bi2WO6/NiO composite was successfully prepared by a simple spinning annealing method. Compared with the use of pure Bi2WO6, the water oxidation performance of Bi2WO6/NiO photoanode prepared by flame annealing is improved by fourfold. And the best photocurrent reaches 0.04 mA/cm2@1.23 VRHE in 0.5 M Na2SO4, showing an excellent photocatalytic activity and stability. The results show that the formation of Bi2WO6/NiO photoanode can improve the utilization of sunlight, effectively inhibit the carrier recombination, and boost charge transfer performance.
