Embodiment 1

[0035] The nickel foam with a geometric area of ​​2 square centimeters was ultrasonically cleaned with deionized water, alcohol and acetone for 30 minutes in order to remove surface organic matter. Nickel foam was wrapped with tetrafluoroethylene tape, with an exposed area of ​​1 cm2, and immersed in 20 mL of an aqueous solution in which 320 mg of thioacetamide was dissolved. Then, the kettle was sealed and subjected to hydrothermal treatment at 180° C. for 4 hours to obtain nanorod nickel sulfide nanostructures with a length of 1 micron. After the hydrothermal kettle was cooled, the sample was rinsed with running water and dried at 60°C for 12 hours. The Ni(OH) 2 / Ni 3 S 2 / Ni's topography pictures are as follows Picture 1-1 and Figure 1-2 As shown, the crystal structure XRD result obtained by X-ray diffraction is as follows Figure 1-3 .

Abstract

The invention discloses a composite catalytic electrode for producing oxygen by electrolyzing water, and a preparation method and application thereof. The electrode expression is Ni(OH)2/Ni3S2/Ni, wherein a Ni(OH)2 lamina is used as an outer layer coating layer, Ni3S2 nanoparticles are used as an active substance, and Ni foam is used as a conducting substrate. The preparation method comprises the following steps: carrying out ultrasonic cleaning on a metal nickel source sequentially with deionized water, alcohol and acetone; impregnating the pretreated metal nickel source in a sulfur source water solution, adding into a high-pressure autoclave, and carrying out hydrothermal reaction at 140-200 DEG C for 1-8 hours; and cooling, taking out the sulfurized metal nickel, rinsing with deionized water, and carrying out vacuum drying. The composite electrode for electrolyzing water has ultralow water electrolysis overpotential and high current density, obviously reduces the electric power consumption, and thus, has important application in the field of water electrolysis. Meanwhile, the composite electrode synthesis method is simple, has the advantage of low cost for raw materials and synthesis, and is suitable for application in water electrolysis industry.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a composite catalytic electrode for electrolyzing water; in particular, it relates to a high-efficiency electrolyzing water oxygen-producing catalytic electrode and its preparation method and application, belonging to the field of electrolyzing water catalysis. Background technique [0002] With the global consumption of non-renewable energy such as coal and oil, the future energy crisis is a problem that mankind must face. In the field of new energy, solar energy, wind energy, water energy and nuclear energy, as well as the derived electric energy, are the main energy sources in the future because they are clean, pollution-free and renewable. However, the storage and continuous supply of these new energy sources is a problem that must be solved, and converting them into chemical energy is a main way, such as electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen and oxygen. Significant efforts are required to study highly efficient oxygen...
