通过半导体材料光催化分解水制氢可将太阳能转化为化学能,该过程具有广阔的应用前景。因此日益受到人们的关注,已相继开发了金属掺杂的TiO2,BiVO4,La/NaTaO3,In1-xNixTaO4(x=0~0.2)和LaMnO3/CdS等金属氧化物光催化剂用于光解水制氢.但这些催化剂的禁带宽度较大,多数只能在紫外光激发下有活性,
The mesoporous photocatalyst InVO4 was method. The synthesized InVO4 was characterized by synthesized by the template-directing self-assembling means of X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, N2 adsorption, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. The results showed that the crystal structure of InVO4 could be controlled by changing the calcination temperature. Compared with the anatase TiO2 and conventional InVO4, the mesoporous InVO4 was more responsive toward visible light. The evolution rate of H2 from water over the mesoporous InVO4 achieved 1836μmol/(g·h) under UV light irradiation, which was much higher than the anatase TiO2 and conventional InVO4.
