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.
