Description

Visible light-responded photocatalyst Li 3ti 2pO 8and preparation method thereof

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of visible light-responded photocatalyst Li ₃ti ₂pO ₈and preparation method thereof, belong to inorganic field of photocatalytic material.

Background technology

Along with socioeconomic development, people more and more pay close attention to for the energy and ecological environment, solve energy shortage and problem of environmental pollution and be realize sustainable development, improve people's living standard and safeguard national security in the urgent need to.

From phase late 1970s, people proposed to utilize in photochemical catalyst decomposition water and atmosphere in the organic matter such as agricultural chemicals and odorant, and scribble the application example such as self-cleaning of the surface of solids of photochemical catalyst.The principle of light-catalyzed reaction is that photochemical catalyst is after the photon having absorbed higher than its band-gap energy, hole and electronics are generated, these holes and electronics carry out respectively oxidation reaction and reduction reaction, reach the object of decomposing harmful chemical, organic-biological matter and sterilization.Photochemical catalyst has many kinds, and wherein most representative is titanium dioxide (TiO ₂), utilize titanium dioxide to decompose the organic matter such as agricultural chemicals and odorant in water and in atmosphere, but the band gap of titanium dioxide is 3.2eV, only under the ultraviolet irradiation shorter than 400nm, just can show activity, can only be indoor or have a local work of uviol lamp, almost can not utilize visible ray, this has limited the use of titanium dioxide optical catalyst greatly.

Consider the practicality of photochemical catalyst in decomposing harmful substances, utilizing sunshine is indispensable as light source.Irradiate near sunshine medium wavelength visible light intensity maximum 500nm to earth's surface, wavelength is that the energy of the visible region of 400nm ~ 750nm is approximately 43% of sunshine gross energy, so for efficient utilization, the R and D of bismuth series photocatalyst have obtained a series of great achievements, and bismuthous compound is as BiVO ₄, Bi ₂moO ₆, Bi ₂mo ₂o ₉, Bi ₂mo ₃o ₁₂and Bi ₂wO ₄be reported in and under visible ray, there is good absorption.A series of niobiums (tantalum) hydrochlorate photochemical catalyst is because the photocatalytic activity having compared with high is widely studied.For example, niobate photocatalyst Pb ₃nb ₄o ₁₃, BiNbO ₄and Bi ₂mNbO ₇(M=Al, Ga, In, Y, rare earth element and Fe) etc. with niobium potassium compound oxide photocatalyst as KNbO ₃, KNb ₃o ₈, K ₄nb ₆o ₁₇and K ₆nb _10.6o ₃₀deng all thering is good photocatalysis performance.

Although photocatalysis research has been carried out the several years, but at present report to have visible light-responded photochemical catalyst kind still very limited, still exist that light conversion efficiency is low, poor stability and the problem such as spectral response range is narrow, be very necessary so research and develop the new visible light-responded high efficiency photocatalyst that has.We are to synthetic noval chemical compound Li in research ₃ti ₂pO ₈carry out Photocatalytic Performance Study, found that Li ₃ti ₂pO ₈band gap be 1.75eV, there is excellent visible light-responded photocatalysis performance.
