Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. The specific conditions are not noted in the examples and are carried out according to conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer. The reagents or apparatus used were conventional products commercially available without the manufacturer's attention.
In addition, the meaning of "and/or" as it appears throughout includes three parallel schemes, for example "A and/or B", including the A scheme, or the B scheme, or the scheme where A and B are satisfied simultaneously. In addition, the technical solutions of the embodiments may be combined with each other, but it is necessary to base that the technical solutions can be realized by those skilled in the art, and when the technical solutions are contradictory or cannot be realized, the combination of the technical solutions should be regarded as not exist and not within the protection scope of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
Compared with a single-layer nano-structure material formed by single titanium dioxide or zinc oxide, the heterojunction material with the zinc oxide and titanium dioxide nano-structure with the multi-layer composite structure has larger specific surface area, better light scattering and absorption capacity and better photoelectrochemical property, and therefore becomes a hot spot for researching the field of nano-materials. However, the heterojunction composite structure of the one-dimensional zinc oxide nano rod array and the two-dimensional titanium dioxide film is generally prepared at present, and the photoelectrochemical property of the composite structure is still low, so that the application of the composite structure is limited.
In view of the above, the present invention provides a three-layer nanorod array heterojunction structure, and aims to provide a three-layer nanorod array heterojunction structure with excellent photoelectrochemical properties. Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2 in combination, in an embodiment, the three-layer nanorod array heterojunction structure includes a SnO 2 nanorod array layer, a TiO 2 nanorod array layer, and a ZnO nanorod array layer, which are sequentially stacked.
Referring to fig. 3 in combination, the energy band structures of SnO 2、TiO2 and ZnO in the three-layer nanorod array heterojunction structure are matched to form a gradient energy band, so that the heterojunction structure with the gradient energy band structure can inhibit the recombination of electron hole pairs by using a built-in electric field, and accelerate the separation of carrier ions, thereby improving the charge transmission efficiency.
Furthermore, the three-layer nano rod array heterojunction structure is formed by compounding a one-dimensional SnO 2 nano rod array, a one-dimensional TiO 2 nano rod array and a one-dimensional ZnO nano rod array, and each layer is designed into a one-dimensional nano rod array structure, so that a high-speed channel is provided for the transmission of photogenerated carriers, and the charge transmission efficiency is further improved. Compared with a composite structure formed by one dimension and two dimensions, the one dimension and one dimension composite pair electron transmission has better and more direct driving force and higher light utilization rate.
It should be noted that, compared with the composite structure formed by the one-dimensional TiO 2 nanorod array and the one-dimensional ZnO nanorod array, the three-layer nanorod heterojunction structure forms a gradient energy band by arranging the SnO 2 nanorod array at the bottom of the one-dimensional TiO 2 nanorod array, which is equivalent to applying a driving force at the bottom of the TiO 2 nanorod array, so that electrons driving the TiO 2 are more smoothly transferred to the SnO 2, and further the charge transmission efficiency is increased. In addition, the three-layer nano rod array heterojunction structure has the advantages that the number of layers is large, so that the specific surface area of the whole array is larger, the capturing effect of light is better, and the light utilization rate is higher. It is understood that FTO in fig. 1 and 2 refers to fluorine doped SnO 2 conductive glass, i.e., a substrate.
According to the technical scheme provided by the invention, through constructing the three layers of nano rod arrays and reasonably selecting materials in each layer of nano rod array, on one hand, the heterojunction structure is provided with a gradient energy band structure, so that the separation of photo-generated electrons and holes can be accelerated, and on the other hand, through designing each layer into a one-dimensional nano rod array structure, a high-speed channel is provided for the transmission of photo-generated carriers, and the two nano rod arrays cooperate with each other, so that the charge transmission efficiency is improved together, and the photoelectrochemical property of the heterojunction structure of the three layers of nano rod arrays is excellent; in addition, the three-layer nano rod array heterojunction structure also has the characteristic of large specific surface area, so that the light utilization rate is high.
In one embodiment, the thickness of the SnO 2 nanorod array layer (i.e., the rod length of the nanorods) is 350-400 nm, and the rod diameter of each SnO 2 nanorod in the SnO 2 nanorod array layer is 50-120 nm. In another embodiment, the thickness of the TiO 2 nanorod array layer (i.e., the rod length of the nanorods) is 1-2 μm, and the rod diameter of each TiO 2 nanorod in the TiO 2 nanorod array layer is 50-120 nm. In another embodiment, the thickness of the ZnO nano-rod array layer (i.e., the rod length of the nano-rods) is 0.5-1 μm, and the rod diameter of each ZnO nano-rod in the ZnO nano-rod array layer is 50-100 nm. Preferably, the three-layer nanorod array heterojunction structure is a combination of the three embodiments, so that the photoelectrochemical performance of the three-layer nanorod array heterojunction structure is better and the three-layer nanorod array heterojunction structure is easy to prepare through the adjustment and control of the size of each layer of nanorod array layer.

The specific arrangement mode for forming the TiO 2 seed layer is not limited, a sol-gel method can be adopted, a magnetron sputtering method can also be adopted, and in the embodiment, the radio frequency magnetron sputtering technology is adopted to deposit TiO 2 nano particles so as to obtain the TiO 2 seed layer.

In this embodiment, the TiO 2 precursor solution is prepared by the following steps: uniformly mixing deionized water and concentrated hydrochloric acid in equal volume to obtain a mixed solution B, and dissolving tetrabutyl titanate in the mixed solution B to obtain a TiO 2 precursor solution; wherein the volume ratio of deionized water to tetrabutyl titanate is 9-13: 1 to 1.5.
And S50, depositing ZnO nano particles on the TiO 2 nano rod array layer to obtain a ZnO seed layer.
The principle of depositing ZnO nano particles by adopting a radio frequency magnetron sputtering process to obtain a ZnO seed layer is similar to that of preparing a TiO 2 seed layer, and the description is omitted here. Further, the sputtering air pressure of the radio frequency magnetron sputtering process is 10-15 mTorr, the sputtering power is 100-150W, the rotation speed of the grade sheet is 0-10 r/min, and the sputtering time is 30-40 min.
