The invention discloses a preparation method of an efficient and stable industrial-grade OER
nickel-
iron catalyst. According to the method,
nickel nitrate hexahydrate,
ferric nitrate nonahydrate and
anhydrous sodium nitrate are uniformly dissolved in
ultrapure water to form a mixed precursor solution, and then the catalyst is prepared through an in-situ reaction by adopting a constant-temperature and normal-pressure impregnation method. According to the invention,
anhydrous sodium nitrate is utilized to introduce abundant nitrate ions to carry out intercalation modification on a
nickel-iron
layered structure, so that on one hand, the energy barrier of
oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is effectively reduced, and the kinetic process of the reaction is obviously accelerated; on the other hand, the unique interlayer
anion intercalation structure can effectively anchor active sites, and
dissolution and loss of active elements such as iron in the reaction process are inhibited to a great extent. The prepared catalyst is high in catalytic activity, simple and convenient in preparation process and excellent in attenuation resistance, and can meet the requirement of long-acting stable operation for hundreds of hours under industrial-grade large
current density.
