The embodiment of the invention provides an
oxygen evolution reaction catalyst, preparation, an application, an
electrolysis device and a
seawater cracking method. The
oxygen evolution reaction catalyst comprises a foamed
nickel substrate and amorphous / nanocrystalline basic
iron carbonate loaded on the foamed
nickel substrate. The amorphous and nanocrystalline mixed structures of basic
nickel ironcarbonate (FeNiCH) contain more surface adsorption
oxygen and oxygen defects, which can adjust the
electronic structure of Fe (III) / Ni (II) and optimize the
adsorption energy of the OER intermediate.The surface adsorption oxygen and defect oxygen may be related to
chloride resistance and high
corrosion resistance. Therefore, the electro-catalytic OER performance of the
oxygen evolution reactioncatalyst is less affected by
chloride ions, the high performance of the electrolytic tank can be well maintained for a long time when the
oxygen evolution reaction catalyst is applied to the electrolytic tank, and the
oxygen evolution reaction catalyst shows excellent OER performance in alkaline offshore
seawater electrolysis and can meet the requirements of
high current density (greater than or equal to 500mA / cm<2>) and low
overpotential (less than or equal to 300mV).
