This invention discloses a two-step pulse electrodeposition method for preparing a
nickel-
tungsten-
cobalt ternary
metal oxygen evolution
electrode and its application. Specifically, it addresses the Ni... 2+ Co 2+ With W 6+ The large differences in
reduction potential and the mismatch in reduction
kinetics lead to elemental segregation in single-step deposition. This invention addresses this problem by employing a two-step pulsed electrodeposition strategy: first depositing a Ni-W
metal layer, then depositing a Ni-Co
metal layer. This strategy optimizes the plating bath composition and pulse parameters step-by-step to accommodate the reduction requirements of different metal ions. The method includes: pretreatment of the
nickel-based substrate; performing a first-step pulsed electrodeposition in a solution containing
nickel and
tungsten salts; and then performing a second-step pulsed electrodeposition in a solution containing nickel and
cobalt salts, followed by
drying. This invention, through specific two-step deposition and the periodic regulation of the pulsed current, effectively optimizes the loading and dispersion of nickel,
tungsten, and
cobalt, resulting in a high-performance
oxygen evolution
electrode with stable and reliable performance, meeting the application requirements of large-scale industrial production.
