The present application relates to a kind of
carbon nanotube-Fe base
hydrogen production
electrocatalyst and application, belong to water
electrolysis hydrogen production technical field.The present application is mainly realized by the following steps: one,
current collector surface pretreatment;Two,
solvothermal synthesis Fe base precursor;Three, in situ preparation
carbon nanotube-Fe base
electrocatalyst under
chemical vapor deposition;Four, electrochemical in situ activation.The present application proposes
carbon nanotube-Fe base composite electrocatalytic structure in situ construction on the surface of conductive
current collector for the first time.Under the synergistic effect of each parameter in preparation process, the obtained structure not only can give full play to the conductive and structural advantages of carbon
nanotube, but also can regulate the
electronic structure of Fe base
active site through interface
coupling effect, so as to significantly improve the performance of water
electrolysis hydrogen production.Compared with prior art, in situ preparation
electrocatalyst is in situ bonded with
current collector and has good dispersibility, and carbon
nanotube-Fe base electrocatalyst is conducive to forming conductive network and improving electrocatalytic efficiency.
