Description

Preparation method and application of 4H-SiC integrated self-supporting photo-anode
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of photoelectrocatalysis, and relates to a preparation method and application of a 4H-SiC integrated self-supporting photo-anode.
Background
The increasing exhaustion of energy and the greenhouse effect and extreme climate caused by the exhaustion become serious problems threatening the survival and sustainable development of human beings in the 21 st century or the future, and the search for clean energy which can replace the traditional high-pollution non-renewable energy is an especially important solution, and the research on the use of nano materials as catalysts and carriers of clean energy is not earnestly made. Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes by professor Iijima in 1991, the science of nano-material preparation and the application of devices thereof have been the focus and hot point of research in nanotechnology, and are an effective system for researching the correlation between the electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of materials and the dimension and quantum confinement effect, thus opening a new gate for the research and development of novel, efficient, energy-saving and environment-friendly photoelectric devices.
The photoelectrochemical decomposition of water to produce oxygen and hydrogen has attracted considerable attention since its introduction as a green clean energy source. The photochemical reaction of titanium dioxide as a photocatalyst material has been well known as early as 50 in the 20 th century, but the present poly-tenuadao effect, which has been reported by Nature as a catalyst for the photodecomposition of water, has not attracted much attention by many scientists until 1972. As a third generation semiconductor of great interest, nano-silicon carbide materials have many excellent characteristics, such as wide band gap, good chemical stability and thermal stability. Meanwhile, the SiC nano material also has the excellent characteristics of high hardness, toughness, wear resistance, low thermal expansion coefficient and the like. Based on the excellent physical and chemical properties of the SiC nanostructure, Nariki et al reported the catalytic properties of SiC ultrafine powder as a visible light response type photocatalyst in 1990, and the third generation of semiconductor material SiC was actively studied in the field of photocatalysis by performing photocatalytic electrolysis of water by irradiation of ultraviolet light.
However, although some work has been devoted to the research and progress of the SiC nanostructure photocatalysts, several fundamental problems still exist in the material preparation science in the current field, which need to be researched and solved: firstly, the preparation of the SiC nano array structure is exposed to harsh growth process conditions such as high temperature, special atmosphere and the like; secondly, most of the photo-anode materials for the research of photoelectrocatalysis are powder or block, and few self-supporting photo-anodes are researched; thirdly, the preparation of the photo-anode is mostly realized by attaching a catalyst on a current collector, the loss of a contact interface to the carrier transmission is difficult to ignore, and an integrated electrode is rarely reported; fourthly, the initial potential of the photoanode decomposed water is higher to block the further promotion of the photocatalytic efficiency of the photolysis of water.
