The invention relates to a ferronickel
hydroxide / reduction-oxidation
graphene electrochemical
oxygen evolution catalyst with
nickel foam as a carrier and a preparation method of the ferronickel
hydroxide / reduction-oxidation
graphene electrochemical
oxygen evolution catalyst. The
nickel foam is used as the carrier of the catalyst,
ferric hydroxide,
nickel hydroxide or a compound of the
ferric hydroxide and the nickel hydroxide is used as the
active component of the catalyst, and reduction-oxidation
graphene is used as the conductive material of the catalyst. The catalyst is prepared through a
water heating and impregnation method. Firstly, the nickel foam is subjected to ultrasonic cleaning and
drying; then, a certain amount of
nickel salt and a certain amount of
urea are weighed, dissolvedin deionized water and stirred to be evenly mixed at the
room temperature; then, oxidized graphene is added, ultrasonic treatment is conducted, and evenly-dispersed mixed liquor is obtained; the nickel foam and the mixed liquor are transferred into a
water heating kettle and react for 12 h to 24 h at the temperature being 120-200 DEG C; the nickel foam subjected to reaction is cleaned and dried;and finally, after the nickel foam is soaked in an iron
salt solution with the concentration
ranging from 5 mmol / L to 30 mmol / L for 0 h to 48 h, cleaning and
drying are conducted, and the ferronickelhydroxide / reduction-oxidation graphene electrochemical
oxygen evolution catalyst with the nickel foam as the carrier is obtained. The catalyst is good in
catalysis activity and high in stability; andthe preparation method is simple and controllable, and industrial popularization is facilitated.
