Ni1-xFexOOH/掺杂g-C3N4/TiO2纳米复合材料的光电化学性能与界面反应动力学研究

One of the most popular research for hydrogen production with solar water splitting is the preparation of highly efficient and stable photoelectric catalysts and their interface reaction kinetics problems . Based on our previous research work, the construction of doped g-C3N4 and Ni1-xFexOOH co-modified titanium dioxide is proposed because of the drawbacks of titanium dioxide, including a slow interface reaction rate and low photoelectric conversion efficiency. A higher photoelectric conversion efficiency of the photoelectric catalyst is obtained by optimizing the preparation conditions and taking fully advantage of these merits, which includes the layered structure and special photocatalytic properties of g-C3N4, and the promoting the interfacial reaction of Ni1-xFexOOH. We will explore simultaneously the mechanism of the co-catalyst Ni1-xFexOOH and the interface reaction kinetics of the photo-generated carriers, and also quantitatively analyze the interface charge transfer rate constant of the photo-electrode. All these research are based on the feedback working mode and the in-situ monitoring system of scanning electrochemical microscopy. This project intends to solve the critical issue of a slow interface reaction rate and low photoelectric conversion efficiency of titanium dioxide. The mechanism of the charge transfer in the interface and its influencing factors would be investigated, and the associated problems between the modified materials and charge transfer in the interface of the photo-electrode would be explored. This study will provide new ideas for designing and preparing the materials with high performance, which has important guiding significance in theory.
