The invention provides a preparation method of a bidirectional pulse electrodeposition composite
nickel-based
electrode. The preparation method mainly comprises the following steps: (1) pretreating a
nickel-based substrate; (2) in a
nickel-based salt
electroplating aqueous solution, carrying out electro-deposition on the treated nickel-based base material by adopting bidirectional
pulse current to obtain a composite nickel-based
electrode material; and (3)
drying the obtained composite nickel-based
electrode in a
nitrogen oven to obtain the composite nickel-based electrode. Compared with the existing electro-deposition technology, the bidirectional pulse type electro-deposition method can effectively form a compact, wear-resistant and scouring-resistant load catalyst layer, can significantly improve the loading and dispersion of electrode
active components, and at the same time, nickel-based
metal and auxiliary active
metal are mutually doped to form multi-element
metal load, so that the performance of the electrode is improved. The electro-
catalysis effect is greatly promoted through the
electron action between different atoms, and the water
electrolysis performance is effectively improved. Compared with constant-current electrodeposition, the method is simple in process condition, stable in performance, high in water
electrolysis efficiency and easy to industrially expand, and has important industrial application prospects.
