摘    要:采用溶胶-凝胶自燃烧法合成TiO2-ZnO光催化剂,采用XRD和SEM对其形貌结构进行表征,并将其修饰于AB5 型储氢合金,制备成催化剂含量(质量分数)为10%和20%的2种光催化储氢合金电极(TZMH电极)。通过恒电流充放电、交流阻抗及阶跃电位测试研究TiO2-ZnO对AB5型储氢合金电极电化学性能的影响。研究结果表明:TiO2-ZnO催化剂成分为ZnO及ZnTiO3,平均粒径约20 nm;相对于AB5 合金电极,TZMH电极活化性能和电化学容量略有下降,AB5合金电极初始活化容量为321 mA·h·g-1,10% TZMH电极和20% TZMH电极分别降至300.8 mA·h·g-1 和292.9 mA·h·g-1;循环性能得到提高,AB5合金电极、10% TZMH 电极和20% TZMH电极以1 C倍率循环100次的容量保持率分别为66.2%,80.0%和83.9%;10% TZMH电极紫外光照射时电荷转移电阻明显小于未受光照时的电阻,阶跃电位测试的响应电流大于未受光照时的响应电流。

Abstract: TiO2-ZnO photocatalyst was synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion method. The microstructure and morphology of TiO2-ZnO were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Photocatalytic hydrogcn storage alloy electrodes (TZMH electrodes) were prepared by adding 10% and 20% TiO2-ZnO to AB5-type hydrogen storage alloy. The effect of TiO2-ZnO on the electrochemical performances of AB5-type hydrogen storage alloy electrodes was studied by galvanostatic charge/discharge tests, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potential step. The results indicate that the average size of TiO2-ZnO photocatalyst is about 20 nm consisting of ZnO and ZnTiO3 phase. The maximum discharge capacity of the AB5 electrode is 321 mA·h·g-1 with a better activation property, which decreases to 300.8 mA·h·g-1 and 292.9 mA·h·g-1 respectively for 10% TZMH and 20% TZMH electrodes. 10% TZMH electrode maintains 80.0% of the maximum capacity and 20% TZMH maintains 83.9%, while the AB5 electrode maintains 66.2% after 100 cycles. The 10% TZMH electrode exhibits a lower charge-transfer resistance and higher response current under UV-light than the one without UV-light.
