The invention belongs to the technical field of manufacturing of electro-
catalysis materials and provides a stainless steel base water
electrolysis catalytic
electrode and a manufacturing method of the stainless steel base water
electrolysis catalytic
electrode. According to the stainless steel base water
electrolysis catalytic
electrode, a three-dimensional micron protrusion array is distributedon a stainless steel matrix. Micro-spheres of different sizes are distributed on the surface of the protrusion array at random. The surfaces of the micro-spheres are covered with
oxide nanometer flossy structures formed by disordered stacking of nanometer particles. The manufacturing method of the stainless steel base water electrolysis catalytic electrode comprises the steps that firstly, high-energy-density pulse
laser is utilized to conduct
ablation on the surface of the stainless steel matrix so that the micron protrusion array can be formed; then,
nanosecond pulse
laser is utilized to conduct
ablation on the surface of the protrusion array so that the micro-spheres and the nanometer flossy structures can be formed, and then the self-supporting electrolytic electrode without the need for an adhesion agent is obtained. The stainless steel base water electrolysis catalytic electrode has excellent water electrolysis
hydrogen and
oxygen evolution performance, overall
water splitting performance and high stability; the manufacturing method is simple and controllable, large-area manufacturing can be achieved, raw materials are low in cost and easy to obtain, and the stainless steel base water electrolysis catalytic electrode can be used for wide application fields such as the field of
hydrogen for fuel
cell cars, the field of
underwater equipment
oxygen generation, the field of medical
oxygen generation, the field of
hydrogen water cups, the field of highland oxygen generation and the field of portable hydrogen and oxygen generating devices.
