The invention discloses a
nano porous nickel electrocatalyst material as well as a preparation method and application thereof. Belongs to the technical field of electrolyzed water
hydrogen production catalysts. According to the method, a
nickel net substrate is subjected to pretreatment, electrogalvanizing, high-temperature alloying and chemical dealloying, and finally the nano-porous
nickel electrocatalyst material growing on the nickel net is obtained. The
electrocatalyst material prepared by the method has a uniform three-dimensional
nano porous structure, the thickness of a
porous layer is 10-70 [mu] m, and the aperture is 100-500 nm. As an alkaline electrolytic water
hydrogen evolution reaction
cathode catalyst, the material has high specific surface area and rich active sites, and shows lower
overpotential and excellent long-term stability. The method is simple in technological process, raw materials are easy to obtain, and the method has large-scale production potential and has wide application prospects in the field of
hydrogen production through water
electrolysis.
