Background technology
The conductor photocatalysis decomposition water be a kind of advanced person utilize a kind of method of conversion of solar energy for chemical energy, its mechanism of action is: under illumination, semiconductor is excited, and produces light induced electron and hole.Electronics and hole are diffused into semi-conductive surface then, and electronics is reduced into hydrogen to water, and the hole is oxidized to oxygen to water.The integral result of this variation is exactly that solar energy becomes chemical energy.Semiconductor species is various, and commonly used is exactly inorganic semiconductor now.1972, Fujishima and the Honda of Japan utilized that a kind of common inorganic semiconductor titanium dioxide is successful under the synergy of UV-irradiation and electric field to be hydrogen and oxygen to water decomposition.After this, various inorganic semiconductor catalyst are developed.Here have an important problem to need to solve: from practical angle, ultraviolet light only accounts for few part of sunshine, and therefore how developing visible light catalyst is exactly a difficult problem.In order to solve this difficult problem, software engineering researchers invent following several method:
1. seek the narrow semiconductor of band gap.The ferric oxide catalyst that the Gratzel exploitation of Sweden is more typically arranged.The ferric oxide source is simple, and is cheap, can absorb most of visible light, and very stable.Make membranaceous electrode to ferric oxide, under visible light radiation, its electricity conversion can reach more than 60%.
2. the semiconductor doping metal or the nonmetalloid of greater band gap.This is a most popular method of utilizing the inorganic semiconductor of some very good greater band gap.More typical example is exactly that the people such as Asahi of Japan in 2002 have developed the titanium dioxide that a kind of nitrogen mixes, and is published in (R.Asahi, T.Morikawa on " science " magazine of the U.S.; T.Ohwaki, K.Aoki, Y.Taga; Science, 2002,293; 269-271), this catalyst has more intense visible absorption, is a kind of reasonable visible light catalyst.Also have the Khan etc. of Japan to develop the titanium dioxide that a kind of carbon is modified, also be published on " science " magazine of the U.S. (Shahed U.M.Khan, Mofareh Al-Shahry, William B.Ingler Jr., Science, 2002,2243-2245).The band gap of the titanium dioxide of preparation has dropped to 2.32eV from 3.00eV in this way, and it can absorb most visible lights, thereby makes catalytic efficiency greatly increase, and the efficient of photoelectrocatalysis decomposition water has reached 8.35%.
Though above-mentioned two kinds of methods can solve inorganic semiconductor visible absorption problem, yet these two kinds of methods also have the defective of self.In other words; The inorganic semiconductor that the band gap that searches out now is narrower; It is exactly not cause researcher's extensive sympathetic response because conduction band is too low that most of energy level can not mate (conduction band is too low to be difficult to reduce water, or valence band is too high-leveled and difficult with the water oxidation) ferric oxide catalyst for example above-mentioned.On the other hand, be the method for a reasonable solution visible absorption though mix, yet with regard to titanium dioxide, element nearly all in the periodic table of elements all tried, and did not still obtain better catalyst, must make us disappointed to these methods.
At a few visible absorption can be arranged, simultaneously in the inorganic semiconductor of the decomposition water entirely that matees again of energy level, more typically be exactly the Zou Zhi of Nanjing University just grade in a job that Japan did; Be published in (Zhigang Zou, Jinhua Ye, Kazuhiro Sayama&HironoriArakawa on " nature " magazine of Britain; Nature; 2001,414,625-627).This catalyst chemical structure is In
1-xNi
xTaO
4(x=0-0.2), have reasonable full decomposition water performance, yet quantum efficiency is lower, is merely 0.66%).The Domen of Japan etc. developed the solid solution catalyst of a kind of gallium nitride and zinc oxide in 2006, also had reasonable full decomposition water performance, 420nm~440nm between visible region, and quantum yield has reached 2.5%.Though later on much being operated in this respect has certain breakthrough in addition, yet all fail to increase considerably quantum yield.
Since doctor Deng Qingyun of Kodak in 1987 found that organic semiconductor is luminous, the various application studies of organic semi-conductor had been made significant headway.Organic semiconductor has the unexistent advantage of a lot of inorganic semiconductors, such as handling ease, regulates molecular structure easily and causes visible absorption, and the conduction band valence band also can be regulated through molecular structure, and kind is a lot.In a word, the above-mentioned inorganic semiconductor organic semiconductor that is difficult to accomplish can solve easily.The present application of organic semiconductor includes OLED, field-effect transistor and solar cell.What deserves to be mentioned is the application of organic semiconductor on solar cell.Be used in still doctor Deng Qingyun on the solar cell to organic semiconductor at first, yet efficient is very low, is about 0.1%.Your professor of the black square of the U.S. utilized the p-n hetero-junctions to increase substantially the efficient of organic semiconductor solar cell afterwards, was about 1.5~2%, came compared with first, had improved tens times.After this professor Forrest of Princeton university has developed another kind of membranaceous smooth anode material with sandwich construction, is published in (Peter Peumans, Soichi Uchida and Stephen R.Forrest on " nature " magazine of Britain; Nature; 2003,425,158-162); This structure has improved the efficient of separation of charge greatly, makes energy conversion efficiency reach 3.5%.The Jin Young Kim of the U.S. in 2007 utilizes a kind of film plating process very easily to make the light anode of a multi-layer film structure, and related work is published in (J.Young Kim, Kwanghee Lee on " science " magazine of the U.S.; Nelson E.Coates, Daniel Moses, Thuc-QuyenNguyen; Mark Dante, Alan J.Heeger, Science; 2007,222-225).This organic multilayer film is made with whirler; Manufacturing process is very simple; Earlier needing the organic semiconductor of plated film to be dissolved in the organic solvent; Form solution, drip to this solution on the electro-conductive glass of high speed rotating on the spin-coating appearance then, thickness can be controlled by rotating speed and solution concentration.The film of making in this way, not only method is simple, and has very high electricity conversion, up to 6%.
Although organic semi-conductor is used a lot, yet, also be not applied to this outstanding material above the photoelectrocatalysis decomposition water so far.On the other hand; Also have a vital problem still not solve about the photoelectrocatalysis decomposition water; How to solve the limitation of inorganic semiconductor on the photoelectrocatalysis decomposition water; Promptly how to seek and a large amount of can absorb visible light, can on energy level, mate again, but also have catalyst than advantages of higher stability.Various other application of organic semiconductor show that its lot of superiority might be embodied in above the photoelectrocatalysis decomposition water, that is to say to utilize organic semi-conductor adjustability of structure and the limitation that remedies above-mentioned inorganic semiconductor of a great variety.
