The application relates to the technical field of catalysts for alkaline electrolytic water, and discloses a non-crystalline CoP
nanoparticle anchoring NiMo
oxide array heterostructure catalyst, which comprises a substrate, a carrier layer and an
active layer arranged in sequence, and the specific structure is as follows: the substrate is foamed
nickel; the carrier layer is a NiMo
oxide array in-situ grown on the surface of the foamed
nickel; the
active layer is non-crystalline CoP nanoparticles in-situ anchored on the surface of the NiMo
oxide array by a pulse electrodeposition method, and the non-crystalline CoP nanoparticles and the NiMo oxide array jointly form a core-shell heterostructure of '
crystal framework-non-crystalline shell'; a
heterojunction is formed between the non-crystalline CoP nanoparticles and the NiMo oxide array due to the difference in work functions, and a built-in
electric field directed to the side of the NiMo oxide array is induced at the
heterojunction. The catalyst not only greatly increases the
exposure area of active sites, but also significantly improves the
electron transmission capacity of the
electrode, thereby providing a new strategy for the development of high-performance energy conversion materials.
