Problems solved by technology

[0003] In a neutral environment, the existing metal salt catalysts for water oxidation have low catalytic activity due to the limitation of their active specific surface area, so that the hydrogen production system still requires a high voltage (J.Am.Chem.Soc. , 2013, 135, 10492-10502)
The in situ conversion of precursors with nano-array morphology into metal salt-based water oxidation catalysts with high active specific surface area by electrochemical oxidation polarization has not been reported

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of hydrogen energy and fuel cells. The in-situ conversion of transition metal compounds to transition metal salts (including borates, phosphates, carbonates and their composite systems) nano-arrays is realized by an electrochemical oxidation polarization method, and It is used as a catalytic electrode in neutral or near-neutral electrolyte solution for efficient and long-lasting water oxidation to produce hydrogen. Background technique [0002] Environmental and energy issues are hot topics in today's society. The global energy shortage and environmental pollution caused by the continuous consumption of fossil fuels force people to seek efficient, renewable and clean energy that can replace fossil fuels (Nat.Chem., 2009, 1, 112). Hydrogen has been widely concerned because of its high calorific value, wide source of raw materials, and non-polluting combustion products (Chem. Rev., 2010, 110, 6446-6473). Water electro...
