The invention discloses a
transition metal-based
composite electrode for
hydrogen production by alkaline
electrolysis of water and a preparation method thereof, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: 1) uniformly dissolving a first
transition metal salt and a second
transition metal salt in the same organic
alcohol respectively, and then mixing the two obtained salt-
alcohol solutions to obtain a uniform and stable electro-deposition solution; and (2) a two-
electrode system is adopted, the conductive substrate serves as a
cathode, the
cathode and an
anode are immersed in the electrodeposition liquid for electrochemical deposition, then washing and
drying are conducted, and the transition
metal-based
composite electrode evenly deposited with the
binary alloy particle layer is obtained. According to the method, the single organic
alcohol is selected as the
electrode liquid
solvent, and the front transition
metal chlorate is selected as the solute, so that the introduction of the oxometallate is avoided, the direct conversion from the low-valence front
transition metal ions to the rough
alloy particle deposition layer is realized, the deposition
energy consumption is effectively reduced, and the deposition efficiency is improved. And meanwhile, the catalyst has higher intrinsic
hydrogen evolution activity and good
mechanical strength and
chemical stability, and is suitable for popularization.
