Description

ZnO/ZnCr 2 O 4 Preparation method of heterojunction photocatalyst and application of heterojunction photocatalyst in ammonia synthesis
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of photocatalysts. And more particularly to a ZnO/ZnCr alloy 2 O 4 A preparation method of heterojunction photocatalyst and application of the heterojunction photocatalyst in photocatalytic synthesis of ammonia.
Background
Ammonia (NH) 3 ) Is one of the most important inorganic chemicals, which is not only an important component of agrochemicals and explosives, but also plays a key role in constructing macromolecules necessary for many life such as biological proteins, nucleic acids, and the like. Meanwhile, the ammonia synthesis industry plays an important role in national economy. Although nitrogen is the largest gas component in the earth's atmosphere, the volume is about 78%, but is defined byNitrogen activation and application have always presented serious challenges for tough nitrogen-nitrogen triple bonds. The natural nitrogen fixation process is a biological nitrogen fixation process by means of bacterial nitrogen fixation enzymes or a nitrogen fixation process completed in the atmosphere by means of lightning. In 1913, the catalytic reduction of nitrogen and hydrogen to ammonia by the Haber-Bosch process has been attracting attention successfully. However, industrial nitrogen fixation consumes 3-5% of world natural gas and 1-2% of world electric energy each year, and discharges a large amount of carbon dioxide, seriously hampering the development of ammonia synthesis. Therefore, finding a renewable and sustainable ammonia synthesis pathway has become a challenging task.
The method for fixing nitrogen by using inexhaustible and environment-friendly solar energy as the driving force of the reaction process is a synthesis approach with wide prospect. However, the current conversion efficiency of the photo-nitrogen fixation is far from meeting the actual industrial requirements. One of the intrinsic reasons is that the photoexcited carriers have low migration efficiency and short service life, and are easy to be compounded in the photocatalysis process, so that the generation efficiency of the photo-nitrogen fixation is reduced. Constructing semiconductor heterojunctions is considered an effective way to improve photogenerated electron hole transport, but how to prepare heterojunction photocatalysis for photosetting nitrogen by simple methods remains a work to be explored.
ZnO is used as a semiconductor photocatalyst with a forbidden bandwidth of 3.3eV, and is widely applied in the field of photocatalysis by virtue of the characteristics of fluorescence, absorption, ultraviolet scattering and the like.
