The invention discloses an amorphous oxyhydroxide catalyst prepared by a mechanical stirring method and an efficient water
electrolysis hydrogen production research of the amorphous oxyhydroxide catalyst, and belongs to the technical field of
hydrogen production of electro-catalytic materials. According to the technical scheme, the method is characterized in that a precursor solution formed by mixing FeCl3. 6H2O, ethyl
alcohol and NH4HCO3 is adopted for conducting mechanical stirring and
doping on foam
metal substrates such as commercial foam
nickel and
cobalt,
chemical reduction and double
decomposition reactions on the surfaces of the foam
metal substrates are effectively controlled, and the
nickel-iron or
cobalt-iron-based
oxide mesoporous film grows in situ. On the basis, low-cost preparation of the high-performance
oxygen evolution catalyst is realized by virtue of a high-potential
anodic oxidation method. The product shows excellent electrocatalytic
oxygen evolution activity in an alkaline medium, the
overpotential is reduced to about 310 millivolts at the large
current density of 500 mA / cm<2>, and the
composite material is durable and stable in performance, suitable for
macro preparation, hopeful to be applied to the industrial alkaline
electrolytic cell hydrogen production technology and capable of assisting rapid development of hydrogen energy economy in China.
