Definitions
- the present invention relates to the general technical field of nanomaterials and, more particularly, nanomaterials for photocatalysis and in particular for the production of dihydrogen (Hz) by photo-induced dissociation of water, a process known under the English expression "water”. splitting”.
- the present invention proposes to use diamond nanoparticles or oxidized nanodiamonds as photocatalysts.
- the present invention proposes a process for producing dihydrogen from water, comprising a step of bringing an aqueous solution into contact with oxidized diamond nanoparticles under light irradiation.
- the present invention also relates to a particular photocatalytic composition comprising oxidized nanodiamonds and at least one other (photo)catalyst.
- Photocatalysis is based on the principle of activation of a semiconductor or a set of semiconductors such as a photocatalyst, using the energy provided by irradiation.
- a semiconductor is characterized by its band gap (or, according to Anglo-Saxon terminology, “band-gap”) between the valence band and the conduction band specific to it. Any photon with an energy greater than its bandgap can be absorbed by the semiconductor. On the contrary, any photon with an energy lower than its bandgap cannot be absorbed by the semiconductor.
- Photocatalysis can be defined as the absorption of a photon, whose energy is greater than the band gap, which induces the formation of an electron-hole pair in the case of a semiconductor. We therefore have the excitation of an electron at the conduction band and the formation of a hole on the valence band.
- This electron-hole pair allows the formation of free radicals which will either react with compounds present in the medium such as H2O, in order to initiate oxidation-reduction reactions, or then recombine following various mechanisms.
- Titanium dioxide (TiO?) with anatase structure is certainly the most studied semiconductor, due to certain properties favorable to this reaction, in particular, (i) its photo-stability in water, (ii) the position adequate of its valence band allowing easily to initiate the first step of water oxidation (H2O -> 2H + + % O2 + 2 e, (iii) an acceptable charge carrier dynamic, (iv) its non toxicity and (v) its relatively moderate cost, compared to other types of photocatalysts.
- TiÜ2 lies in its large bandgap (3.1-3.2 eV), requiring activation by wavelengths below 400 nm (UV range), which considerably restricts the use of sunlight. natural which is made up of approximately 40% visible photons, too low in energy and therefore ineffective for activating TiÜ2.
- UV range 400 nm
- noble metals due to the difficulty in carrying out the half-reaction of reduction to hydrogen (2H + + 2e _ -> H2), rare and expensive noble metals are often added as co-catalysts in order to carry out the reduction. catalytic in dihydrogen.
- Diamond-based nanomaterials have also been proposed as photocatalysts. They are often used in the form of hybrids or composites.
- Lin et al proposed p-type copper(l) oxide nanocrystals integrated with nanodiamonds for broad-spectrum photocatalytic hydrogen evolution [1].
- the nanodiamonds possibly doped with boron are used with graphitic carbon nitride (or g -C3N4) [3], possibly in association with silver nitrate (AgNOs) [4].
- the present invention makes it possible to achieve the goal set by the inventors. Indeed, the latter showed that it was possible to dissociate, under light irradiation, water in order to produce dihydrogen using oxygenated diamond nanoparticles as photocalysts.
- oxidized nanodiamonds can be used without the addition of other photocatalysts or co-catalysts such as metal particles.
- the oxidized nanodiamonds can be used as the only photocatalysts.
- diamond is a wide gap semiconductor (5.5 eV) which is therefore theoretically not suitable for the absorption of visible light.
- its light absorption properties are modified either by optical effects linked to nanometric dimensions or by the incorporation of structural defects during their synthesis.
