N、F共掺杂SrTiO3/C3N4复合光阳极的光电化学阴极保护性能

Photoelectrochemical cathodic protection performance of N, F-codoped SrTiO3/C3N4 composite photoanode

  • 摘要: 为进一步提高SrTiO3的光响应范围并有效抑制其载流子复合的问题,本研究通过溶剂热法合成了N、F共掺杂的SrTiO3 (N、F-SrTiO3),并将N、F-SrTiO3与热缩聚法得到的C3N4混合并煅烧制备出了N、F-SrTiO3/C3N4复合材料,研究了其在模拟海水中对304不锈钢(304 SS)光电化学阴极保护的性能和强化机制。结果表明,光照时,在模拟海水中,N、F-SrTiO3/C3N4与304 SS耦连后的的光电流密度为11 μA/cm2,是SrTiO3光电流密度(2 μA/cm2)的5.5倍;N、F-SrTiO3/C3N4复合材料与304 SS耦联后开路电位为−0.52 V,比304 SS的自腐蚀电位(−0.18 V)负移了340 mV。而304 SS与SrTiO3耦联后开路电位仅负移了220 mV。N、F-SrTiO3/C3N4表现出更好的光电化学阴极保护效果的原因在于N、F共掺杂和C3N4复合两种改性方法协同增强了SrTiO3光吸收,提高电子空穴对的分离率。

     

    Abstract: To further enhance the light response range of SrTiO3 and effectively suppress the recombination of its charge carriers, this study synthesized N, F-codoped SrTiO3 (N, F-SrTiO3) using a solvothermal method. N,F-SrTiO3 was mixed with C3N4 obtained by thermal polymerization and calcined to fabricate the N,F-SrTiO3/C3N4 composite. The photoelectrochemical cathodic protection performance and strengthening mechanism of this composite material were investigated in simulated seawater for 304 stainless steel (304 SS). The results demonstrated that under illumination in simulated seawater, the photocurrent density of the N, F-SrTiO3/C3N4 coupled with 304 SS reached 11 μA/cm², which is 5.5 times that of pure SrTiO3 (2 μA/cm²). Additionally, the open-circuit potential of the N, F-SrTiO3/C3N4 coupled with 304 SS, was −0.52 V, which shifted negatively by 340 mV compared to the self-corrosion potential of 304 SS (−0.18 V). In comparison, the open-circuit potential of 304 SS coupled with SrTiO3 only shifted negatively by 220 mV. The superior photoelectrochemical cathodic protection properties of N, F-SrTiO3/C3N4 can be attributed to the synergistic enhancement of SrTiO3 photoabsorption and the increased electron-hole pair separation rate achieved by the codoping of N and F as well as the composite with C3N4.
