Description

The backlight electrochemical cell
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of backlight electrochemical cell, belong to the renewable utilization of new energy resources of cleaning field.
Background technology
The ultimate challenge of mankind nowadays social development----energy crisis and environmental pollution.Through twice industrial revolution in 19th century and 20th century, the mankind have entered advanced industry and culturally advanced modern society.Yet industrial society develops a large amount of consumption that also caused the energy rapidly.It is estimated, the energy system that the world today relies on, just fossil energy (comprising coal, oil, natural gas) only can be kept only century-old.And along with the continuous rareness of the energy, exploitation difficulty of new forms of energy and cost also increase greatly, institute's consumed energy even can approach or surmount the energy energy that is obtained.Moreover the burning fossil energy causes a large amount of carbon emissions and other harmful substances, air pollution, and global warming has badly influenced human own inhabitation and life.
Unique solution route utilizes the renewable new forms of energy of cleaning exactly.Hydrogen Energy is considered to the alternative energy source of most possible development of future generation, and it contains can be high, and be convenient for carrying and use, and pollution-free, zero carbon emission.Along with the development of technology, except the traditional large-scale application in industrial production, hydrogen also more and more has been applied in such as people's livelihood fields such as fuel cell, hydrogen energy source automobiles.Yet present 96% Hydrogen Energy in the world derives from the consumption of non-regenerative resources such as natural gas, oil equally and transforms, and produces by the steam methane transformation technology such as the annual hydrogen output 95% of the present U.S..Water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen, hydrogen content is abundant, and water is bulky on earth, make hydrogen and oxygen is a kind of desirable approach by brine electrolysis, yet global at present only 3.9% hydrogen is to be obtained by water electrolysis, and the prior art power consumption is huge, and required electric energy is produced by fossil energy equally, and development potentiality is limited.So utilize clean reproducible energies such as solar energy, wind energy, from the water that earth content enriches, obtain the preferred approach that electric energy or Hydrogen Energy are considered to sustainable development from now on, also become one of focus of current science industrial quarters research.
Photoelectrochemical cell (PEC) is exactly by utilizing sunlight to come decomposition water to produce a kind of very promising production of renewable energy resources mode of hydrogen.Typical conventional P EC battery is made up of two electrodes that are inserted in the electrolyte, just anode and negative electrode, and two electrodes have a palpus at least for having the semiconductor photoelectrode of photocatalytic activity, another one can be metal electrode, also can be similarly optoelectronic pole.Optoelectronic pole produces light induced electron-hole under rayed right, produces photogenerated current and photovoltage then, makes hydrone that oxidation and reduction reaction take place respectively on anode and negative electrode respectively, makes oxygen and hydrogen, finishes solar energy-chemical transformation of energy.All the time, what the light anode adopted all is n N-type semiconductor Ns, and like this excitation electron moves to negative electrode and makes hydrogen reduce generation on negative electrode under the illumination, and the hole makes oxygen produce on the light anode to the solution electrode Interface Moving.What in like manner photocathode all adopted is the p N-type semiconductor N.At present, this traditional PEC battery generally is to be the energy with sunlight and applied voltage simultaneously, in that be lower than under the voltage of 1.23V promptly can decomposition water, just is lower than the minimum theoretical voltage of brine electrolysis.Here it is PEC promptly obtains electric current with hydrogen production by water decomposition than the advantage of common direct brine electrolysis under lower voltage.A lot of semi-conducting materials are used as optoelectronic pole and study, and studying widely, the light anode material comprises n-TiO 2, n-Fe 2O 3, n-ZnO, n-WO 3, photocathode material comprises p-Si, p-Cu 2O, p-GaP, p-GaInP 2, p-CuGaSe 2Deng.Although through years of development, the performance of these materials has obtained very big optimization and raising, final for various reasons conversion efficiency or stability still do not reach actual application level.The PEC battery is after finding more than 30 year, and efficient is still very low, and is generally about 1%, very far away from large-scale application at present.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is provides a kind of backlight electrochemical cell in order to solve the existing low problem of PEC cell conversion efficiency.The present invention is based on the novel backlight electrochemical cell that is used for solar hydrogen making that n type photocathode and p type light anode are formed, and this battery types can be realized than conventional P EC battery more performance in the past.
The objective of the invention is to realize by following technical proposals:
Backlight electrochemical cell of the present invention, its structure is similar to the PEC battery of prior art, but its operation principle is opposite with the PEC battery of prior art; Mainly by p N-type semiconductor N, n N-type semiconductor N, electrode, electrolyte and external circuit are formed; Wherein the p N-type semiconductor N is the light anode, and the n N-type semiconductor N is a photocathode; During work, p N-type semiconductor N light anode is applied forward voltage, be about to p N-type semiconductor N light anode and link to each other, n N-type semiconductor N photocathode is applied negative voltage, be about to n N-type semiconductor N photocathode and link to each other with the negative pole of external power with the positive pole of external power; We are with this battery called after backlight electrochemical cell (English Inverse PEC can be abbreviated as IPEC).
The combination of anode and negative electrode comprises in the battery: p N-type semiconductor N light anode and to electrode cathode combination, n N-type semiconductor N photocathode with to electrode anode combination, p N-type semiconductor N light anode and the combination of n N-type semiconductor N photocathode.

The general name of all additional electricity components (comprising power supply) in conductive path that described external circuit is formed for the conducting medium that connects light anode and photocathode and the circuit.
Opposite with the course of work, the principle of traditional photoelectrochemical cell, during the work of backlight electrochemical cell, p N-type semiconductor N light anode is applied forward voltage, being about to p N-type semiconductor N light anode links to each other with the positive pole of external power, electronics in the electrolyte is moved to electrode, at electrode and electrolyte interface place oxidation reaction taking place, produces oxygen.Under illumination, the Fermi level of p N-type semiconductor N reduces downwards, produces photovoltage, and we are called Vp the value of this photovoltage, promptly make anode and negative electrode reach certain voltage difference when applying forward voltage, can Shaoshi under the illumination add the voltage of Vp than under the dark attitude to p N-type semiconductor N light anode.In like manner, n N-type semiconductor N photocathode is applied negative voltage, be about to n N-type semiconductor N photocathode and link to each other, the electronics in the electrode is moved to electrolyte, reduction reaction takes place, produce hydrogen at electrode and electrolyte interface place with the negative pole of external power.Under illumination, the Fermi level of n N-type semiconductor N upwards promotes, and produces photovoltage, and we are called Vn the value of this photovoltage, promptly make anode and negative electrode reach certain voltage difference when applying negative voltage, can Shaoshi under the illumination add the voltage of Vn than under the dark attitude to n N-type semiconductor N light anode.When battery middle-jiao yang, function of the spleen and stomach when very p N-type semiconductor N light anode and negative electrode are n N-type semiconductor N photocathode, the voltage that Shaoshi adds under the illumination can reach (Vn+Vp) V.
