The invention discloses a NiCu
alloy electrode preparation method based on electrochemical micromachining and electro-
crystallization coordinated regulation and control, which comprises the following steps: (1) electrochemical micromachining:
cutting a
nickel net, clamping the longer end of the
nickel net by using an
electrode clamp with a
platinum sheet, ensuring the effective area of an
electrode immersed in an
electrolyte, electrifying the
nickel net in an acid solution, and carrying out electrochemical micromachining on the nickel net; cleaning and
drying for later use; and (2) Ni-Cu gradient
crystallization is conducted, specifically, nickel
crystallization is conducted firstly, then
copper crystallization is conducted, a Ni-rich compact bottom layer is formed in the initial stage of crystallization, a Ni-Cu mixed columnar
crystal transition layer is formed in the middle stage of crystallization, and a Cu-rich nano dendritic
crystal surface layer is formed in the later stage of crystallization. According to the preparation method, a multi-scale micro-nano
composite structure is constructed through electrochemical micromachining, a micron framework-nano dendritic
crystal composite structure is formed through Ni-Cu gradient crystallization, micron-scale gaps generated by electrochemical micromachining are filled, the NiCu
alloy interface characteristics are optimized, the electro-catalytic performance is remarkably improved, and the method is close to a
precious metal platinum catalyst.
