Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of catalysts, in particular to a Ni-NiO / C core-shell structure nano material electrocatalyst and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Hydrogen has been extensively studied as a clean, renewable energy source as an alternative to dwindling fossil fuels. An efficient way to produce high-purity hydrogen is to electrochemically split water into hydrogen and oxygen in an electrolyzer. Water electrolysis is a sustainable and environmentally friendly method for hydrogen fuel production. Since the proton-rich environment is favorable for the adsorption of hydrogen on the catalyst surface, the acidic medium is favorable for the hydrogen evolution reaction. However, acidic conditions prohibit the use of non-platinum group metals as catalysts. In addition, the corrosive acid mist generated by the acidic electrolyte not only pollutes the produced hydrogen, but also causes severe chemical corros...
