Description

A kind of tannic acid that contains is as electrolytic solution and the photoelectrocatalysis hydrogen generating system of photosensitizer
Technical field
The present invention relates to the photoelectrocatalysis hydrogen generating system of a kind of electrolytic solution and this electrolytic solution of use, particularly, relate to and contain tannic acid as the photoelectrocatalysis hydrogen generating system of the electrolytic solution of photosensitizer and this electrolytic solution of use.
Background technology
A photoelectrocatalysis hydrogen generating system the simplest comprises light anode, negative electrode, electrolytic solution and volts DS take-off equipment.In the photoelectrocatalysis hydrogen generating system, the photon that the light anode material absorbs the specific part in the solar spectrum produces hole-electron pair, photohole generally has very strong oxidation capacity, water molecules in can direct oxidation electrolytic solution generates oxygen, light induced electron then has very strong reductibility, its by external circuit at cathode surface with the hydrogen ion (H in the electrolytic solution +) be reduced to hydrogen.
Usually, the process of photoelectrocatalysis hydrogen manufacturing (no sacrifice agent) in the reaction of light anode and negative electrode is respectively:
The light anode:
1.SC+h=h ++ e -Produce hole and photoelectron (this process is reversible)
2.4h ++ 2H 2O=O 2+ 4H +Hole direct oxidation water molecules
3.O 2+ 4H ++ 4e -=2H 2The photoelectronic side reaction of O+ heat exhaustion
SC: semiconductor catalyst (light anode material) h: illumination h +: photohole e -: photoelectron
Negative electrode:
4.H ++ e -=1/2H 2Hydrogen ion in the electrolytic solution is reduced into hydrogen by photoelectron
The introducing of continuous-current plant greatly reduces the recombination rate of hole and electronics, has improved the hydrogen-producing speed of photoelectrocatalysis hydrogen generating system.Applying of external dc bias-voltage can be transferred to negative electrode rapidly with photoelectron, consumes photoelectronic side reaction in 3 thereby effectively suppressed to react the recombination rate of photohole and electronics in 1 and reacted.The introducing of continuous-current plant guarantees that just the photoelectron that has produced can be used for reducing near the negative electrode hydrogen ion to greatest extent, and the photoelectronic quantity that produces is then determined jointly by the extinction property of light anode material and the speed of semiconductor material hole drain.For a kind of definite light anode material, what of photoelectronic initial number are its absorbent properties to solar spectrum determined, a photo absorption performance is not then had in corresponding hole, if the hole can not effectively be consumed, then the photoelectron quantity that produces subsequently can significantly reduce, thereby has influenced the hydrogen-producing speed of system.The process of photohole oxidizing water molecule is very slow, and namely the speed that is consumed of hole is very slow, so the light utilising efficiency of the hydrogen generating system in the reality is very low, even is less than 1%.Therefore add in the electrolytic solution of photoelectrocatalysis hydrogen generating system that some relative water moleculess are easier can significantly to be increased the spending rate of photohole by the compound of photohole oxidation, thereby significantly improve hydrogen-producing speed and the light utilising efficiency of system.The existing organism of these compounds is organic/inorganic substance also, is collectively referred to as sacrifice agent.For any definite light anode material, its extinction scope determines that sacrifice agent just is used for consuming the hole that has produced, and it can't change the extinction scope of light anode material.The extinction scope of present light anode material mostly concentrates on the UV-light part, has only the extinction scope of a few material can reach the blue light part, then can't utilize outside the blue light part.If add suitable photosensitive compound, make its with physics or chemisorption in light anode material surface.The generation unbound electron is excited behind the photon of these compounds absorption visible parts, be injected into then on the semi-conductive conduction band, conduction band from the light anode under the effect of impressed DC voltage is transferred to the cathodic reduction hydrogen ion, so not only improve the light abstraction width of photoelectrocatalysis hydrogen generating system greatly, thereby improved hydrogen-producing speed greatly.
For example, a kind of photosensitizer with visible light spectrum scope is disclosed in the Chinese patent application 200910058202.0, oxine-5-sulfonic acid iron (III).This material formation dark green solution soluble in water has very high complex stability under meta-alkalescence or acidic conditions.In the photoelectrocatalysis hydrogen generating system, under the effect of extra electric field, this sensitizing agent obtains light induced electron at negative electrode easily and is reduced, and therefore is unfavorable for the hydrogen generation efficiency of photoelectrocatalysis hydrogen generating system.A kind of photosensitizer for dye sensitization solar battery is disclosed in the Chinese patent application 200810151310.8, triphenyl amine dyes.Triphenyl amine dyes is water insoluble, and the electrolytic solution that the photoelectrocatalysis hydrogen generating system uses is generally the aqueous solution, so triphenyl amine dyes is difficult in the photoelectrocatalysis hydrogen preparation field and is applied.
Therefore, exploitation has been conducive to improve the light abstraction width of photoelectrocatalysis hydrogen generating system, thereby the photosensitizers that has improved hydrogen-producing speed greatly is the meaningful research of carrying out this area midium or long term.

Embodiment
The invention discloses and a kind ofly contain tannic acid (tannic acid) as the electrolytic solution of photosensitizer for the photoelectrocatalysis hydrogen generating system.
Tannic acid is water-soluble, is soluble in ethanol, acetone and glycerine, and molecular structure is shown in the accompanying drawing 1.
Contain a plurality of phenolic hydroxyl groups in the tannic acid molecule, this structure makes tannic acid very sensitive to light, tannic acid can discharge a unbound electron to the conduction band of light anode material after absorbing visible light, therefore tannic acid can enlarge the light anode material to the absorption of visible light as a kind of photosensitizer, improve the phototranstormation efficiency of photoelectrocatalysis hydrogen generating system, its action principle is:
5.TA+hv vis=TA ++e -
TA: tannic acid, hv Vis: visible light e -: unbound electron
Tannic acid can absorb a series of visible light and discharge unbound electron, and absorbing photon with the semi-conductor anode material, to produce hydrogen hole and photoelectron be two parallel processes.Tannic acid absorbs visible light and the unbound electron that discharges at first injects the conduction band of semi-conductor anode, migrate under the effect of impressed DC voltage negative electrode with near hydrogen ion be reduced to hydrogen.
As photosensitizer, tannic acid does not consume photohole, and it directly absorbs visible light and discharges a unbound electron to light anode material conduction band.This unbound electron is different from light anode material extinction and the photoelectron that inspires, but can be used for reducing near the negative electrode hydrogen ion equally.
Conventional photosensitizer or water insoluble, otherwise water-soluble but easily in cathodic reaction.And tannic acid is water-soluble, and does not have any electrode reaction, and Chang Gui photosensitizer is more suitable for being added in the electrolytic solution of photoelectrocatalysis hydrogen generating system relatively.
Of the present invention for photoelectrocatalysis hydrogen generating system electrolytic solution, the mass ratio of the water in tannic acid and the electrolytic solution is not particularly limited, in theory as long as the existence of tannic acid, can be to play photoactivated conduct, but consider from photoactivated degree, usually and the mass ratio of the water in the electrolytic solution be 0.05%~5%, optimally be 4%~5%.
Electrolytic solution of the present invention also comprises water, inorganic acid, organism sacrifice agent, perhaps Ren Xuan inertia supporting electrolyte, wherein the concentration of inorganic acid is 0.01~1.5 mol/L, the quality of organic sacrifice agent and the mass ratio of water are 0.5%~30%, and the concentration of supporting electrolyte is 0~2.0mol/L.
In the present invention, the organism sacrifice agent comprises any sacrifice agent usually used in this field, such as simple alcohols or many alcohols, and for example methyl alcohol, ethanol, glucose, simple monocarboxylic acid or polycarboxylic acid, for example formic acid, acetic acid, propanedioic acid; Or so a kind of organic compound: have the reductibility that can interact to strengthen described organic compound between two or more functional groups and the described functional group, and described organic compound with the light anode material chemical reaction does not take place directly.
Described do not take place directly with the light anode material that chemical reaction refers to can be with light anode material, for example TiO 2Perhaps WO 3Deng, directly reduction becomes suboxide, thereby causes light anode forfeiture photoelectric catalytically active.
Described " have the reductibility that can interact to strengthen described organic compound between two or more functional groups and the described functional group; and with the light anode material chemical reaction does not take place directly " organic compound can be selected from following in every at least one: have one or more hydroxyl simultaneously (OH) and one or more carboxyl (organic compound COOH), for example tartrate, inferior tartrate, oxyacetic acid/glycolic acid, oxysuccinic acid, citric acid, gluconic acid etc.; Has one or more amido (NH simultaneously 2) and the organic compound of one or more carboxyl, for example glycine; Has one or more carbonyl (C=O) and the organic compound of one or more hydroxyl, for example xitix/vitamins C; Above-mentioned any one organic salt; And above-mentioned every mixture.
In addition, in the present invention, the preferred organic compound that contains hydroxyl described " have the reductibility that can interact to strengthen described organic compound between two or more functional groups and the described functional group, and with the light anode material of described photoelectrocatalysis hydrogen generating system chemical reaction does not take place directly " at least.
In addition, especially, organic compound with the reductibility that can interact to improve compound between two or more functional groups and these functional groups, such as being used in combination of at least one and tannic acid in the and the following, will bring more significant technique effect: have one or more hydroxyl simultaneously (OH) with one or more carboxyl (organic compound COOH); Has one or more amido (NH simultaneously 2) and the organism of one or more carboxyl; Has one or more carbonyl (C=O) and the organism of one or more hydroxyl.
Reason is this above-mentioned ad hoc structure that has, namely, " have the reductibility that can interact to strengthen described organic compound between two or more functional groups and the described functional group; and chemical reaction directly do not take place with the light anode material in described organic compound ", sacrifice agent further improved the effect that consumes photohole.
Under situation about not being bound by any theory, the contriver thinks that this organic compound with ad hoc structure can be as sacrifice agent, thereby increasing substantially the hydrogen-producing speed of photoelectrocatalysis hydrogen generating system and the principle of phototranstormation efficiency is: hydroxyl and carbonyl, hydroxyl and amido, hydroxyl and carboxyl, exist very strong influencing each other between amido and the carboxyl, wherein the inducing action of hydroxyl is the strongest; There is electrophilic inductive effect in these groups, and influencing each other between the group makes the hydrogen-oxygen key in hydroxyl or the carboxyl rupture easily, that is to say that the hydrogen atom character in the hydrogen-oxygen key is more active, are dissociated into H easily +Form corresponding negatively charged ion, the negatively charged ion of hydrogen atom wherein and the generation of dissociating is the very strong photohole of oxygen consumed voltinism directly, directly the inductive effect between the group of Xiang Lianing is the strongest, and the distance between the group is more short, and the hydrogen atom in the hydrogen-oxygen key is more active; In addition, be α carbon with the carbon that links to each other between the group, hydrogen atom becomes α hydrogen on the α carbon, and is more active than the hydrogen atom in the conventional alkyl because the inducing action α hydrogen of group also can become, thereby also is easy to react with photohole.These several factors make the organic molecule that contains corresponding group obtain activation, have strengthened the reductibility of entire compound molecule, thereby can the strong photohole of more effective oxygen consumed voltinism.
In addition, comprise one or several above-mentioned sacrifice agents hydrogen generating system phototranstormation efficiency since the adding of tannic acid can be improved on original basis, the amplitude that improves increases with the content of tannic acid, wherein the content of tannic acid reaches maximum reaching effect in 5% o'clock, increases content effect meeting again and descends.In electrolytic solution of the present invention, the effect of tannic acid is to absorb a part of visible light, and this part visible light energy is lower, can't inspire photoelectron at the light anode material, and tannic acid can absorb this part visible light, discharge unbound electron, this effect is the absorption of widening sunlight spectrum.
In the present invention, described inorganic acid refers to the mineral acid of ionization constant pKa≤0 in the aqueous solution, for example, can comprise sulfuric acid, permanganic acid, chloric acid or perchloric acid.
Inertia supporting electrolyte in the electrolytic solution described in the present invention refers to not take place any reaction in the photoelectrocatalysis hydrogen production process, but can effectively improve a kind of compound or several compound of the specific conductivity of electrolytic solution in the photoelectrocatalysis hydrogen generating system, for example sodium sulfate, vitriolate of tartar.
A second aspect of the present invention provides a kind of system for photoelectrocatalysis hydrogen manufacturing, described system comprises the volts DS take-off equipment, the light anode, negative electrode and electrolytic solution, wherein said electrolytic solution is to comprise tannic acid as the electrolytic solution of photosensitizer, preferably comprise tannic acid and sacrifice agent as photosensitizer, especially so a kind ofly have the organic compound of ad hoc structure as the electrolytic solution of sacrifice agent: have the reductibility that can interact to strengthen described organic compound between two or more functional groups and the described functional group, and described organic compound with the light anode material chemical reaction does not take place directly.
On the other hand, the invention discloses tannic acid purposes as photosensitizer in the photoelectrocatalysis hydrogen preparation field.
