Fossil fuels such as petroleum and coal have infinite reserves and emit carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides when burned. As a result, carbon dioxide causes global warming, and nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides cause acid rain and cause environmental destruction.
Further, nuclear power generation has been put into practical use as a new energy source, but has problems such as safety and waste disposal.

Hydrogen only turns into water when burned, and does not cause environmental pollution. However, the use of fossil fuel or the like to generate hydrogen is meaningless. Sunlight is inexhaustible, and water is abundant on Earth. Hydrogen can be obtained by decomposing water using the energy of sunlight. One of the means is a photocatalyst for water decomposition. A photocatalyst is a type of semiconductor. When it absorbs energy above its band gap, it generates holes and electrons, and the holes react with water to produce oxygen and hydrogen ions, which react with the electrons to convert hydrogen.

性が得られるのである。[0004] Among photocatalysts, a substance having a layered structure is known as a useful substance because unlike a bulky substance, a high catalytic activity can be obtained by using a layer of the layered structure as a site for a water splitting reaction. . In other words, the layered material has more catalytically active sites than the bulk material. Furthermore, compared to a material without a layered structure,
The travel distance of holes and electrons is reduced, especially when the direction of travel is perpendicular to the layer plane, so that the rate of recombination of holes and electrons is reduced, and high catalytic activity is obtained.

Although such substances were known, they showed high catalytic activity in the ultraviolet light, but did not show catalytic activity because they had no absorption in the visible light region.

No photocatalyst that can be used for the% water splitting reaction is known. Therefore, when the conventional photocatalyst is made to act under sunlight, it is not possible to efficiently convert light energy into chemical energy.

It is also to provide a photocatalyst having a layered structure while exhibiting catalytic activity.

Further, in the constituent elements, the charge of the entire photocatalyst due to the substitution of the pentavalent element with the trivalent element is compensated by oxygen, so that there is a problem that the original layered structure cannot be maintained and collapses. Does not happen. Further, since it has a layered structure, the interlayer alkali metal can be ion-exchanged as in the conventional case, and the interlayer alkali metal can be exchanged with protons by performing ion exchange in an acid aqueous solution.

It may be synthesized by the wet method or the gas phase method. When A is hydrogen in the general formula (I), a composite oxide of the general formula (I) in which A is an alkali metal is first synthesized, and then the composite oxide is treated with an acid such as nitric acid. By performing ion exchange in an aqueous solution, the alkali metal ions are exchanged for hydrogen ions to synthesize. Of course, even when A is an alkali metal other than hydrogen, a composite oxide having a desired composition can be similarly synthesized by an ion exchange reaction.

(Evaluation of catalytic activity) The catalytic activity of the photocatalyst for water splitting was evaluated by using a closed-circulation catalytic reactor and generating hydrogen from a methanol aqueous solution to which methanol was added as a sacrificial reagent. 1 g of the proton exchanger produced by the above method was placed in 350 ml of an aqueous methanol solution (300 ml of water, 50 ml of methanol), and irradiated with light from outside while stirring with a magnetic stirrer. A 500 W xenon lamp was used as a light source, and light with a wavelength of 420 nm or less was cut by a filter. As the material of the reaction tube, one made by Pyrex was used. The detection and quantification of the generated hydrogen were performed by gas chromatography.
【0015】測定の結果、水素の発生が認められ、水素
定常活性は 0.6μmol/hourであった。このように、短波
長の光をカットしても触媒活性を示した。As a result of the measurement, generation of hydrogen was recognized, and the steady hydrogen activity was 0.6 μmol / hour. Thus, the catalytic activity was exhibited even when the light of short wavelength was cut.

向上させることができる。As described above, since the photocatalyst of the present invention contains a transition metal element in its constituent elements, it exhibits catalytic activity even in light in the visible light region. Moreover, since the layers of the layered structure can be used as a field for the water splitting reaction, more hydrogen can be generated. Therefore, according to the present invention, visible light contained in a large amount in the sunlight spectrum can also be utilized for the water-splitting reaction, so that the use of solar energy rather than the photocatalyst which shows a catalytic activity only for light in the ultraviolet region. The efficiency can be significantly improved.
