摘要: 采用一步式阶跃电压加压方法, 在NH4F/(NH4)2SO4电解质溶液中对W片进行阳极氧化处理制备了WO3多孔薄膜, 通过后续热处理温度的控制, 制备了性能规律性变化的WO3多孔纳米薄膜材料. 用场发射扫描电镜(FE-SEM)、X 射线衍射(XRD)分析等手段考察了热处理温度对氧化钨晶体结构和形貌影响的规律, 在450 °C以下的煅烧温度下, 薄膜保持50-100 nm孔径; 通过对光电化学性质、光催化降解甲基橙动力学行为的研究, 考察了不同热处理温度对WO3多孔薄膜光电转换性能影响的规律. 研究表明, 450 °C煅烧处理后的WO3薄膜在500 W氙灯光源照射及1.2 V偏压下, 光电流密度达到5.11 mA·cm-2; 340 及400 nm单色光辐射下光电转换效率(IPCE)值分别达到87.4%及22.1%. 电化学交流阻抗谱显示, 450 °C煅烧处理后的WO3薄膜表现出最佳的导电率及最小的界面电荷转移电阻. 实验结果证明, 高结晶度的多孔结构是WO3薄膜具有高光电转换效率的主要因素, 控制热处理温度是实现薄膜具有高孔隙率、完整结晶度、低电阻的重要手段.

Abstract: Visible-light-responsive WO3 porous films were synthesized via step-voltage anodization in NH4F/(NH4)2SO4 solution and calcined at various temperatures. The crystalline phase and surface morphology were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The as-anodized nanoporous films converted to a monoclinic phase with preferential orientation in the (020) planes, and the pore diameters of the films calcined below 450 °C were estimated to be in the region of 50-100 nm. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated via photodegradation of methyl orange. The film calcined at 450 °C showed the highest photocatalytic activity. Photoelectrochemical measurements showed that the incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) values of the film calcined at 450 ° C were 87.4% at 340 nm and 22.1% at 400 nm. Under visible light (λ ≥400 nm), the photocurrent density in 0.5 mol·L-1 H2SO4 solution at 1.2 V (vs Ag/AgCl (KCl saturated)) was 5.11 mA·cm-2. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements showed that the film calcined at 450 °C exhibited the smallest interface charge transfer resistance and optimal electroconductivity. Perfect crystallinity, high porosity and low resistance can therefore be obtained by controlling the calcination temperature. A large surface area and a porous structure are important factors in affecting photocatalytic activity.
