This invention discloses an iron-based multimetallic catalytic material, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the field of catalyst preparation technology. The preparation method includes: dissolving two or more water-soluble
metal salts with different
hydroxide solubility products in water to obtain a
mixed solution A; dissolving
potassium ferrate in cold water to obtain solution B; pouring solution B into
mixed solution A under stirring to obtain
mixed solution C; allowing the solution to settle at low temperature until the supernatant changes color from dark purple to light purple and reaches
neutral pH, then filtering, washing, and
drying to obtain a precursor; calcining the precursor in a mixed
atmosphere of
hydrogen and
argon to obtain the iron-based multimetallic catalytic material. This material has a multi-layered enclosed
microstructure, with
metal oxides of high
hydroxide solubility products located on the periphery and those of low
solubility products located inside, achieving a gradient arrangement and synergistic effect of
metal components. The process of this invention is simple and the conditions are mild. The obtained catalyst exhibits high catalytic activity,
high selectivity, and excellent stability in the countercurrent water-gas reaction.
