The invention discloses a ternary
metal telluride bifunctional catalyst for
hydrogen production from water and a preparation method thereof.The preparation method comprises the specific steps that
ferric nitrate nonahydrate,
cobalt nitrate hexahydrate,
nickel nitrate hexahydrate and
fumaric acid serve as raw materials, the raw materials are stirred to be uniform in N, N-
dimethylformamide, and Fex (CoNi)-MOF is obtained through reaction under specific conditions of a reaction kettle,
centrifugation, cleaning and
drying; then carrying out high-temperature
calcination on the Fex (CoNi) Tex and
tellurium powder according to a specific ratio in H2 / Ar
mixed gas to prepare Fex (CoNi) Tex; fex (CoNi) Tex is loaded on foamed
nickel, the catalyst material Fex (CoNi) Te (at) NF is prepared, and Fe2 (CoNi) Te (at) NF has excellent HER and OER catalytic activity, has rich active sites and has the excellent characteristics of low
overpotential, excellent dynamics, small impedance, good
cycling stability and the like. The efficient non-
noble metal catalyst which is low in cost and excellent in catalytic activity is provided for
hydrogen production through water
electrolysis, and the commercialization process of the
hydrogen production technology can be powerfully promoted.
