The invention discloses a preparation method and application of a carbon-based
anode material, and relates to the field of electrolytic
hydrogen production. The method comprises the following steps: 1, preparing a carbon
powder material; 2, activating the carbon material at high temperature; 3, cleaning and sieving; 4, preparing turbid liquid; and 5, uniformly dispensing the turbid liquid on hydrophilic carbon cloth in batches, and
drying to obtain the carbon-based
anode material. The
utilization rate of the pulverized
coal is increased, the solution resistance is reduced, the carbon
powder is uniformly fixed on the surface of the
anode, and the problem of particle
sedimentation is avoided; the specific surface area of the anode is increased; the interface catalytic performance is improved; and the
bonding strength between the carbon
powder and the
electrode material is improved, so that the influence of solution resistance in the
electrolysis process is reduced. The method is combined with an iron-based circulation (Fe < 2 + > / Fe < 3 + >)
system, the
anodic oxidation potential is remarkably reduced, the oxidation
kinetics is improved, and the efficiency of
hydrogen production through water
electrolysis is improved; through iron-based circulation assistance and improved anode design, the
energy consumption of electrolyzed water is reduced, and the catalyst shows excellent catalytic activity in an acidic
system.
