Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production Properties and Mechanism Analysis of TiO2@H+/g-C3N4 Composites

  • 摘要: 本文研究了TiO2含量对TiO2@H+/g-C3N4异质结光催化剂产氢性能的影响。首先将石墨相氮化碳(g-C3N4)用硫酸处理,得到酸洗氮化碳(H+/g-C3N4),然后通过煅烧法在H+/g-C3N4表面负载TiO2得到TiO2@H+/g-C3N4复合材料,利用透射电镜、 X射线衍射仪、紫外-可见漫反射仪和比表面仪对TiO2@H+/gC3N4复合材料进行了表征,研究了其在可见光下的光催化产氢性能,探讨了TiO2@H+/g-C3N4复合材料光催化产氢机理。实验结果表明:1)煅烧法可以成功制备TiO2@H+/g-C3N4复合材料,且TiO2的负载显著地提升了H+/g-C3N4的光催化产氢性能,这主要归功于TiO2/g-C3N4异质结的形成降低了光生电子空穴的复合速率,加快了电子的转移速率;2)实验结果还表明TiO2的负载量对TiO2@H+/g-C3N4复合材料的光催化产氢性能有很大影响,当TiO2含量为25%时,所制备的25-TiO2@H+/g-C3N4复合材料的光催化产氢性能最好,其光催化产氢速率为3.47 mmol·g-1·h-1,是H+/g-C3N4产氢速率的4.05倍,这主要归功于25-TiO2@H+/gC3N4大的比表面积和高的光吸收度;3)所制备的25-TiO2@H+/g-C3N4复合材料还表现出良好的稳定性。

     

    Abstract: The influence of the loading amount of TiO2 on the photocatalytic H2 production performance of TiO2@H+/g-C3N4 composites were studied. Graphite phase carbon nitride(g-C3N4) was first treated with sulfuric acid to obtain pickled carbon nitride(H+/g-C3N4), and then TiO2@H+/g-C3N4 composites were prepared by loading TiO2 on the surface of H+/g-C3N4 by calcination method. The photocatalytic hydrogen production of TiO2@H+/g-C3N4 composite was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometer, UV-vis diffractometer and specific surface analyzer. The photocatalytic performances of H2 production of TiO2@H+/g-C3N4 composites were investigated under the irradiation of visible light. The photocatalytic hydrogen production mechanism of TiO2@H+/g-C3N4 composite was discussed.The results show that the TiO2@H+/g-C3N4 composites are synthesized by calcination. The photocatalytic property of H+/g-C3N4 is increased by the loading of TiO2, which is due to the separation promotion of the photogenerated electron-hole pairs and the acceleration of the electrons transfer rate by TiO2/g-C3N4heterojunctions. Moreover, the loading amount of TiO2 has great effects on the photocatalytic H2 production performance of TiO2@H+/g-C3N4 composites. With TiO2 loading of 25%, the photocatalytic H2 production rate of the prepared 25-TiO2@H+/g-C3N4 composite is the highest, which is 3. 47 mmol·g-1·h-1and about 4.05 times of that of H+/g-C3N4. This good property is attributed to the large specific surface area and high absorbance of 25-TiO2@H+/g-C3N4 composite. Moreover, the prepared 25-TiO2@H+/gC3N4 composites show good stability in the process of photocatalytic H2 production.
