Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, non-precious metal catalysts have encountered several problems in practical applications: (1) highly active transition metal catalysts are easily oxidized in air, thus losing their catalytic activity; (2) it is difficult for ordinary catalysts to be used in the actual hydrogen production environment Work stably for a long time; (3) lack of simple and cheap synthetic methods to prepare efficient and stable catalysts

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of catalysts, and relates to a catalyst, a preparation method and an electrocatalytic decomposition of water to produce hydrogen. Background technique [0002] Hydrogen energy is regarded as the most promising clean energy in the 21st century. Commonly used hydrogen production technologies include coal hydrogen production, natural gas and petroleum hydrogen production, industrial by-product hydrogen, electrolytic water hydrogen production, etc. Among them, the electrolytic water hydrogen production technology mainly includes alkaline water electrolyzer (AE), proton exchange membrane water electrolysis tank (PEM) and solid oxide water electrolyzer (SOE). The AE technology is the most mature, the production cost is relatively low, and it has entered the practical stage. However, the main problem that restricts the promotion of AE technology is the cost. The cost includes electricity price and catalyst cost. ...
