The invention discloses an
electrode material which is simple in preparation method, high in performance and capable of stably producing
hydrogen by electrolyzing water, and also discloses a preparation method of a photocatalyst for purifying
wastewater by using a derivative of the
electrode material. The preparation method of the
electrocatalyst mainly comprises the following steps:
etching a
nickel metal substrate by using diluted
hydrochloric acid; the preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing a first-stage product, dissolving the first-stage product with a
bismuth source and
molybdate in a reaction kettle, carrying out
hydrothermal synthesis to obtain a hydrothermal product, carrying out high-temperature
calcination on the obtained material to obtain a sample precursor and a part of byproducts, finally repeating the reaction once to obtain a high-activity
electrode and related byproduct derivatives, mixing the two byproducts, carrying out high-temperature
calcination, and
grinding to obtain a second-stage product. According to the prepared catalyst, a
bismuth source is introduced to serve as an additive, a NiMoO4 / Fe2 (MoO4) 3
composite film layer
active phase is constructed on an NF substrate through a one-step hydrothermal-
corrosion-growth method, the
active phase and an NF framework are induced through a confinement effect to form strong
interface bonding, the
electron transfer rate is increased, and the electrode performance is remarkably improved by reducing the
valence band position of the
active phase. The preparation process is simple to operate, the morphology of the catalyst is controllable, and derived by-products generate higher
economic benefits.
