Problems solved by technology

However, because of its slow kinetic reaction, the electrolysis efficiency of water is severely limited. A good catalyst can reduce the overpotential of the oxygen evolution reaction and accelerate its kinetic reaction.
At present, noble metal catalysts with excellent performance (RuO 2 , IrO 2 etc.) high cost and scarce reserves, which greatly limit its large-scale production and application

Abstract

Metal boride water splitting catalysts, preparation methods and applications in electrocatalytic water splitting belong to the technical field of electrocatalyst preparation. The metal boride catalyst of the present invention is prepared by a solid-phase boronizing method, using a solid boronizing agent to coat the transition metal, and performing boronizing treatment by programmed temperature heating. The boronizing agent consists of the necessary boronizing medium and optional activators and optional fillers. Compared with liquid boronization, the solid boronization method is less difficult to clean the surface after boronization, has low equipment requirements, and is suitable for the boronization treatment of various transition metals. The catalyst of the invention has excellent intrinsic catalytic activity and stability under alkaline conditions: the current density is 10mA cm ‑2 At this time, the required overpotential is 300mV ~ 400mV; and the stability of electrocatalytic water splitting and oxygen desorption can be as long as at least 100 hours, and the performance does not decay. It can replace precious metals and promote the commercial application of electrocatalytic water splitting.
