石墨烯基复合光催化产氢材料体系构建与机理研究

Design and fabrication of highly efficient photocatalytic H2-production materials are one of photocatalytic research hotspots. On the basis of the development of international photocatalysis, the previous investigation work and results of Wuhan University of Technology and Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics of Chinese Academy of Science, and the principle of chemical thermodynamics and kinetics, it is proposed to initiate a research program, which is mainly focusing on design and fabrication of photocatalytic water-splitting H2-production materials and systems by chemical precipitation and hydrothermal methods. These H2-production materials are composites of graphene and oxides, sulfides, polymers, organic molecules and noble metal nanoparticles with surface plasmon. The composition-morphology-performance intrinsic relationship and synergistic effect between graphene and photocatalytic materials will be carefully investigated. The transfer and separation of photogenerated electrons and holes within graphene-based composite photocatalytic materials under light irradiation will also be investigated. The design principal of composition and structure of graphene-based composite photocatalytic materials will be developed and proposed by this project. The relationship of composition-structure-H2-production performance and control methods of the composite photocatalytic materials will be revealed during investigating this project. To enhance H2-production efficiency of photocatalytic water splitting, the intrinsic mechanism, synergistic action and control rule of the photocatalytic hydrogen production will be explained. This is of great significance in promoting the development of photocatalysis theory and increasing new knowledge of photocatalytic hydrogen production. This investigation will also provide new insight into the fabrication of advanced graphene-based photocatalytic H2-production materials and systems and enhance the application of graphene based composite photocatalytic materials in hydrogen production.
