The invention discloses a method for using
biomass waste for preparing a
nitrogen-
doped carbon nanotube coated
metal particle
composite material. The method includes the following steps that firstly, the
biomass waste and KOH are evenly mixed in deionized water, an obtained heterogeneous mixture is carbonized under the protection of
inert gas, and
biomass charcoal is obtained; and then, the biomass
charcoal, a nitrogenous nonmetallic compound and water-soluble
divalent metal salt are evenly mixed in methyl
alcohol, the obtained heterogeneous mixture is subjected to
pyrolysis under the protection of the
inert gas, and therefore a target product is obtained. By the adoption of the method, a two-step
pyrolysis technology is adopted for achieving growth of carbon nanotubes, and dispersion of
metal nanoparticles and formation of a cooperative acting mechanism are promoted; the stability of the
composite material is reinforced through the structure of
carbon nanotube coated
metal nanoparticles; the surface activity and
dispersity of a
carbon layer are improved through in-situ decoration of the
nitrogen element; and the contact and
active site point number is increased through the formation of a rich pore structure and the high specific surface area.
