The invention relates to a method for preparing a Ni / CeO2 composite
hydrogen evolution
electrode, which is characterized in that 0.1-20g CeO2 particles with particle size being 10nm-5mum are added in a plating liquid for dispersion treatment, the processed
metal copper foil substrate is fixed in a cylindraceous reactor as an electrodeposition
cathode for performing electrodeposition, a pure
nickel pipe positioned at center axis of the cylindraceous reactor is taken as an electrodeposition
anode, temperature is 45 DEG C,
current density is 3A / dm<2>, the electrodeposition time is 1 hour, the rotating speed of the cylindraceous reactor is adjusted to obtain a
high gravity field with different intensity,
high gravity field intensity G scope is 95-1000g, and the direction of the
high gravity field is perpendicular to
cathode surface. According to the invention, bubble disengaging from an
electrolyte during an electrodeposition process is effectively promoted,
ion migration and
mass transfer process are accelerated, composite particle content in a
coating is increased,
coating crystal grain is refined, so that the catalyzed
hydrogen evolution performance of the prepared Ni / CeO2 composite
hydrogen evolution
electrode is obviously increased.
