Background technique
Semiconductor photoelectrocatalysielectrode technology starts from the TiO to come out in 19722The purification of (titanium dioxide) catalysis sewage.The technology
By TiO2Photocatalytic water reaction occurs under conditions of illumination, plays catalytic action with this as electrode for film.Later, semiconductor
Band theory is used to interpret TiO2Photocatalysis mechanism, when incident photon energy is greater than TiO2When semiconductor forbidden bandwidth, it is located at
The electrons of valence band transit to conduction band, and electronics becomes the high activity electronics with reproducibility, while generating in valence band positively charged
The hole with oxidisability.But, during electrons and holes can be to surface migration, a part of electrons and holes can be sent out
It is compound in raw body, also, Carrier recombination rate is higher, leads to TiO2Photocatalysis efficiency reduces.It is found that ZnO, WO3、CdS、
ZnS etc. also all can serve as conductor photocatalysis material use, and still, Carrier recombination rate is equally higher, and often higher than
TiO2.The prior art passes through TiO2It is modified to reduce Carrier recombination rate, improves quantum efficiency.Modified measures include reducing crystal grain
Granularity, depositing noble metal, combines semiconductors coupling, electrochemistry with photocatalysis at the suitable crystal form of selection.Experimental result table
Bright, electrochemistry is combined with photocatalysis, that is, photoelectrocatalysis can be obviously improved the quantum efficiency in reaction, and then improve and urge
Change efficiency.
With TiO2For, realize that photoelectrocatalysis will first make TiO2Photo cathode, such as suspended state photo cathode, fixed film
Photo cathode and transparent fixed film photo cathode etc., by external circuit plus bias voltage, so that electronics is more easier to leave
TiO2Surface, to improve catalytic efficiency.Such as make TiO2Fixed film photo cathode, lead connect external power supply, add 10~
The biasing bias of 1000mV, is used for degradation of phenol, and catalytic efficiency can be improved 20% or more.However, production film photoelectric anode,
External power supply provides bias voltage, this makes photoelectrocatalysis device architecture become complicated, it is also necessary to extra consumption energy, then have just
It is the catalysis limited area of the catalysis material of filminess, and is easy inactivation.
There is also a technical problems for the prior art, when semiconductor photoelectrocatalysielectrode device is used for natural water catalytic purification
When, realize that the light source of photoelectrocatalysis is daylight, and as the time from morning to night elapses, the exposure intensity and angle of daylight are all changing
Become, the catalyticing purifying effect of semiconductor photoelectrocatalysielectrode device is not at one's best always.
