The invention provides a preparation method of a NiFe-LDH surface immobilized
cobalt atom modified alpha-Fe2O3 photo-
anode catalyst. The preparation method comprises the following steps: putting an FTO / beta-FeOOH photo-
electrode into a
muffle furnace, and annealing to obtain an FTO / alpha-Fe2O3 photo-
electrode; the preparation method comprises the following steps: dissolving
nickel nitrate hexahydrate,
ferric nitrate nonahydrate,
ammonium fluoride and
urea in a mixed
solvent of
ethylene glycol and N 'N-
dimethylformamide to obtain a precursor solution; placing the FTO / alpha-Fe2O3 photoelectrode with the conductive surface upward in a hydrothermal reactor, injecting the precursor solution, and performing a reaction after sealing to obtain a NiFe-LDH modified alpha-Fe2O3 photoanode material; and adding
cobalt chloride hexahydrate into a
sodium borohydride solution, stirring, injecting into a hydrothermal reactor, and carrying out sealed reaction on the
cobalt chloride hexahydrate and the NiFe-LDH modified alpha-Fe2O3 photo-
anode material to obtain the NiFe-LDH surface immobilized
cobalt atom modified alpha-Fe2O3 photo-
anode catalyst. The FTO / alpha-Fe2O3 photoelectrode disclosed by the invention is subjected to high-temperature annealing to obtain a more stable
crystal form; the NiFe-LDH surface immobilized
cobalt atom modified alpha-Fe2O3 photo-
anode catalyst is prepared by adopting a hydrothermal method, and the preparation method is simple in process, low in cost, good in
repeatability, uniform in size and consistent in morphology.
