Problems solved by technology

However, the water splitting process is not a spontaneous reaction and requires high potentials and electrocatalysts to increase the reaction rate, making the oxidation evolution reaction (OER) a bottleneck in the water splitting process.
[0006] However, the current high-efficiency OER catalysts mainly use noble metals such as Ru and Ir, but the cost of the above two noble metals is high and the resource reserves are extremely low, so the application of noble metals is severely limited.

Abstract

A method of preparing a tricobalt tetroxide material loaded by nitrogen-doped exfoliated carbon nanotubes is disclosed. The method includes subjecting carbon nanotubes to liquid-phase exfoliation witha strong oxidant and a concentrated acid to prepare exfoliated carbon nanotubes; and loading the exfoliated carbon nanotubes with tricobalt tetroxide nanoparticles through a hydrothermal reaction manner, wherein the exfoliated carbon nanotubes react with a nitrogen source and a cobalt source to obtain the tricobalt tetroxide material loaded by nitrogen-doped exfoliated carbon nanotubes. The method is simple in process, raw materials are easily available, and the method is prone to industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of preparation of inorganic functional materials, in particular to a preparation method of a nitrogen-doped exfoliated carbon nanotube-loaded tricobalt tetroxide material. Background technique [0002] Whether it is a fuel cell or a metal-air battery, there are anode and cathode reactions, in which the cathode oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics is very slow, the rate is about one thousandth of the anode reaction, and the overpotential is too high to limit the fuel. The bottleneck of battery output power and energy power. [0003] In the prior art, ORR catalysts include noble metals, such as platinum and rhodium. Platinum is considered to be one of the most active single-component electrocatalysts, but its practical application is limited due to the disadvantages of high cost, poor stability, and easy poisoning. In addition, transition metal oxides such as tricobalt tetroxide, triiron tetroxide, and c...
