Therefore, the corresponding catalyst is an important component of the photoelectrocatalysis technology, and has recently become a research hotspot in the fields of energy and materials. Titanium dioxide is the most attractive semiconductor material due to its unique electronic properties, physicochemical stability, and nontoxicity, and has been widely used in photoelectrocatalysis due to its strong ability to generate photoexcited charge carriers under illumination.

In order to improve its electricityThe transport capacity of the ions and the photocatalytic activity of the titanium dioxide are improved, and people make extensive research on the modification of the ion-doped titanium dioxide. Research shows that the carrier transport capacity can be greatly improved by introducing a small amount of ion doping into titanium dioxide. Research shows that the niobium-doped titanium dioxide has a positive effect on electron injection and charge mobility, and can improve the energy conversion efficiency to 18%.

Example 2
Example 2 is different from example 1 in that tantalum ethoxide was added in an amount of 7.25. Mu.L so that the molar amount of tantalum ethoxide in the hydrothermal reaction solution was 1% of the molar amount of tetrabutyl titanate.
Example 3
Example 3 differs from example 1 in that tantalum ethoxide was added in an amount of 3.625 μ L so that the molar amount of tantalum ethoxide in the hydrothermal reaction solution was 0.5% of the molar amount of tetrabutyl titanate.
Comparative example 1
Comparative example 1 differs from example 1 in that tantalum ethoxide was not added to obtain pure titanium dioxide nano-films without doping tantalum.
Comparative example 2
Comparative example 2 is different from example 1 in that tantalum ethoxide was not added and 0.3112g of niobium chloride was added so that the molar amount of niobium chloride in the hydrothermal reaction solution was 0.25% of the molar amount of tetrabutyl titanate, thereby obtaining a niobium-doped titanium dioxide nano-film.
Performance testing
Scanning electron microscope tests are carried out on the pure titanium dioxide nano-film which is not doped with tantalum and is obtained in comparative example 1, and the obtained scanning electron microscope picture is shown in figure 1. As can be seen from FIG. 1, the titanium dioxide in the titanium dioxide nano film is in a nano rod-like structure, and the average diameter of the titanium dioxide nano rod is 40-70 nm.
Scanning electron microscope analysis was performed on the titanium dioxide nano-film obtained in example 1, which had a tantalum-doped molar concentration of 2%, and the results are shown in fig. 2. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the titanium dioxide in the tantalum-doped titanium dioxide nano-film is in a nanorod structure, the average diameter of the titanium dioxide nanorods is 400-500 nm, and the nanorods grow perpendicular to the FTO orientation and are uniformly distributed.
Scanning electron microscope analysis was performed on the titanium dioxide nano-film obtained in example 2, which had a tantalum-doped molar concentration of 1%, and the results are shown in fig. 3. As can be seen from FIG. 3, the titanium dioxide in the tantalum-doped titanium dioxide nano-film is in a nanorod structure, the average diameter of the titanium dioxide nanorods is 200-300 nm, and the nanorods grow perpendicular to the FTO orientation and are uniformly distributed.

X-ray diffraction analysis was performed on the tantalum-doped titanium dioxide nano-films obtained in examples 1 to 3, and the obtained X-ray diffraction pattern was shown in FIG. 5. As can be seen from FIG. 5, the titanium dioxide films prepared by the present invention are all in the rutile phase. Tantalum doping suppresses the growth of (002) orientation but rather promotes the growth of (101) orientation, and the lattice is distorted due to tantalum ions doped into the lattice, so that peak position shift occurs.
Fig. 6 is an impedance spectrum of titanium dioxide nano-films with different tantalum doping concentrations, and it can be seen from fig. 6 that the resistance of the film gradually decreases with the increase of the tantalum doping concentration, and it can be considered that the resistance decreases due to the decrease of the film thickness caused by doping, and the doping improves the conductivity of the film, and promotes the improvement of the photoelectric performance.
At room temperature, the photo current density of the titanium dioxide nano-film with different tantalum doping concentrations was measured by using the CHI660E electrochemical workstation to select linear sweep voltammetry, and the obtained results are shown in fig. 7.

The photocurrent density of the niobium-doped titanium dioxide nano-film obtained in the comparative example 2 was measured, and the photocurrent density at a voltage of 1.3V was 0.094mAcm -2
At room temperature, a CHI660E electrochemical workstation is used for selecting current to test a time mode, a graph 8 shows the photo current density stability pictures of titanium dioxide nano films with different tantalum doping concentrations, and as can be seen from the graph 8, after 2000s of cycle test, the photo current densities of the films are not obviously changed, which indicates that the tantalum-doped titanium dioxide film has good stability.
