This invention discloses a functionalized MXene-supported
metal oxide catalytic material, its preparation method, and its applications. The preparation method includes: fully contacting a pretreated
metal substrate with a liquid-phase
system containing MXene and
metal ions and reacting at high temperature, followed by annealing in air to obtain the MXene-supported metal
oxide material; and then subjecting it to electrochemical or
chemical treatment to obtain the functionalized MXene-supported metal
oxide catalytic material. In the functionalized MXene-supported metal oxide catalytic material of this invention,
electron transfer occurs between the functionalized MXene and the metal oxide, promoting the formation of more active sites in the metal oxide that are conducive to catalyst-reactant
electron exchange, thereby improving the activity of the
oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Simultaneously, the functionalized MXene has abundant surface groups, which can generate strong chemical interactions with the metal oxide, improving the stability of the metal oxide in acidic media.
