The invention belongs to the technical field of
seawater electrolysis hydrogen production, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a FeCoNi-based
electrode material based on
chlorine-containing alkaline oxidation liquid, the prepared
electrode material and application. The preparation method comprises the following steps: carrying out vacuum melting to obtain an
alloy base material containing catalytic elements of iron,
cobalt and
nickel, carrying out a
hydrothermal reaction on the base material and a
sodium hydroxide-
hydrogen peroxide mixed solution containing
sodium chloride, and finally obtaining the in-situ growth type
electrode. According to the electrode prepared after
sodium chloride is added into the hydrothermal medium, a
nanosheet FeCoNi
hydroxide composite catalytic layer with more uniform
microstructure is generated on the surface of the electrode, the electrochemical active area is larger, the catalytic active element distribution is more uniform, and the catalytic active sites are more, so that the OER and HER catalytic activity of the FeCoNi-based catalytic electrode in a
seawater medium is improved, and the service life of the FeCoNi-based catalytic electrode is prolonged. And meanwhile,
corrosion-resistant
nickel elements on the surface of the electrode are uniformly distributed, so that microbattery
corrosion in a
seawater medium environment is avoided, and the seawater
corrosion resistance of the catalytic electrode in the seawater
electrolysis service process is remarkably improved.
