The invention relates to the technical field of catalysts, in particular to a
cobalt-based
phosphide nano catalytic material as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: dissolving a
cobalt salt,
urea and
ammonium fluoride in water to obtain a
mixed solution, placing a pretreated carbon cloth in the
mixed solution, carrying out a
hydrothermal reaction, taking out the carbon cloth to obtain a carbon cloth-loaded phosphating precursor, and carrying out
hydrothermal reaction on the carbon cloth-loaded phosphating precursor in a protective
atmosphere to obtain the carbon cloth-loaded phosphating precursor. Carrying out phosphating treatment with a
phosphorus source; and carrying out constant piezoelectric deposition by taking the carbon cloth loaded
cobalt phosphide as a
working electrode and
cobalt salt as an
electrolyte to obtain the cobalt-based
phosphide nano catalytic material. The cobalt-based phosphide nano catalytic material shows excellent catalytic activity, rapid reaction
kinetics and good stability in HER, OER and full
water splitting application, the preparation method is simple and controllable, the cobalt-based phosphide nano catalytic material is expected to replace a
noble metal-based catalyst, and the cobalt-based phosphide nano catalytic material has a wide application prospect in the field of electro-
catalysis energy conversion.
