The invention provides a preparation method and application of a
cobalt-aluminum
hydrotalcite loaded
noble metal catalyst rich in
metal defects. The preparation method comprises the following steps: dissolving a
cobalt source, an aluminum source,
urea and
ammonium fluoride in an
aqueous solution, and carrying out
hydrothermal reaction to obtain a
cobalt-aluminum
hydrotalcite precursor; the preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing a precursor, treating the precursor with an alkaline solution to obtain a defect-rich cobalt-aluminum
hydrotalcite carrier, and dipping the defect-rich cobalt-aluminum hydrotalcite carrier in a
noble metal solution to obtain the defect-rich cobalt-aluminum hydrotalcite supported
noble metal catalyst. The preparation method is simple and high in
operability, the noble
metal can be anchored on the defect-rich cobalt-aluminum hydrotalcite carrier, and the defect-rich cobalt-aluminum hydrotalcite loaded noble
metal catalyst can be used as a
bifunctional catalyst through the synergistic effect of the noble metal and the cobalt-aluminum hydrotalcite carrier, has excellent electro-catalytic performance, and can be used for preparing a catalyst for preparing the cobalt-aluminum hydrotalcite loaded noble
metal catalyst with the defect-rich cobalt-aluminum hydrotalcite loaded noble
metal catalyst with the defect-rich cobalt-aluminum hydrotalcite loaded noble
metal catalyst. And the electrolytic tank
assembly process is simplified, and the production cost is reduced.
