Preparation method and application of Cd xZn1-x S nanocrystalline material of Cd coordination sulfur matrix
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of material preparation, and particularly relates to a preparation method and application of a Cd xZn1-x S nanocrystal material of a Cd coordination sulfur matrix.
Background
Doping sulfur into transition metal sulfides or oxides is a common practice and means for modifying semiconductors. When the doping element is the same as the non-metallic element of the semiconductor, an elemental interstitium is formed which, after coordination with the metallic element, forms an intrinsic defect in the semiconductor. The defects can change the energy band structure, the surface electron density, the hole-electron separation and other physical properties of the semiconductor, and have great development potential in the catalysis field. However, the currently developed sulfur matrix introduction mode cannot be selectively introduced around specific elements, and the industrial application is difficult to operate, so that the application of the sulfur matrix in mass production is seriously hindered. Therefore, in the transition metal sulfide, an effective method for selectively introducing sulfur interstitials is urgently required.
The introduction of sulfur interstitials plays an important role for photocatalytic applications. In the current photocatalytic application, the sulfur matrix is a randomly doped material, and in solid solutions with multiple metal elements, it is difficult to regulate the position of doped sulfur, thereby making the space for improving the photocatalytic performance limited. Thus, it is urgent and important to develop methods for selectively introducing sulfur interstitials into sulfide materials by studying effective ways of precisely controlling the coordination sites of sulfur incorporation.
The transition metal sulfide has obvious visible light response and low price, has impressive photocatalytic hydrogen production performance, and is a potential photocatalytic hydrogen production material in the future. Various cadmium sulfides represented by cadmium sulfide are photocatalytic materials with higher photocatalytic hydrogen production, but in the one-step regulation process, a method for accurately controlling the coordination ratio of a sulfur matrix around a Cd position and a Cd element is blank, and meanwhile, the realization of improvement of the performance of a photocatalyst through the sulfur matrix is one of photocatalysis research hot spots.
