The application belongs to the technical field of electrocatalytic material preparation, and discloses a method for preparing a
cobalt tungstate electrode based on gas-phase replacement, an
electrode and application. 3 A seed layer is formed on the surface of the conductive substrate; then the conductive substrate is placed in a
hydrothermal reaction solution containing
tungstate, and a
hydrothermal reaction is performed; after cleaning and
drying, annealing treatment is performed, so that a WO3
nanosheet array is obtained on the conductive substrate; then the conductive substrate and a volatile
cobalt source are placed in a protective
atmosphere and under negative pressure to perform a gas-phase cation replacement reaction, so that a
cobalt tungstate multistage
nanostructure electrode is obtained. The application utilizes the characteristics of gas-
phase reaction, and on the basis of inheriting the two-dimensional array structure of the precursor, a hierarchical rough morphology is constructed in situ; the prepared cobalt tungstate multistage
nanostructure electrode exhibits excellent catalytic activity in the electrocatalytic
oxygen evolution reaction in an alkaline medium, the process is simple and the parameters are controllable, and the application has good application prospect.
