The invention discloses an NCFCP and NiCo LDH water
electrolysis catalyst as well as a preparation method and application thereof, the NCFCP and NiCo LDH water
electrolysis catalyst comprises a two-dimensional NiCo LDH sheet layer serving as a carrier and NCFCP nanoparticles loaded on the two-dimensional NiCo LDH sheet layer, and the NCFCP nanoparticles are NiCoP nanoparticles modified by iron-doped
carboxylate. According to the preparation method, foamed
nickel with good
conductivity is selected as a substrate, two-dimensional NiCo LDH is prepared by adopting a
coprecipitation method to serve as a protective layer, NiCoP and NiCo LDH lamellar intermediates are prepared by adopting an incomplete phosphorization method, self-supporting type two-dimensional NiCo LDH coated and
ferric acetate modified NiCoP is obtained by adopting
ferric acetate modification, a two-dimensional lamellar layer provides large specific surface area and sites for growth of NiCoP nano particles, and the self-supporting type two-dimensional NiCo LDH coated and
ferric acetate modified NiCoP has the advantages that the self-supporting type two-dimensional NiCo LDH coated and ferric acetate modified NiCoP can be used for preparing the NiCoP nano particles; the
doping of Fe optimizes the
electronic structure of NiCoP so as to provide continuous transmission of electrons in the HER and OER processes, the
carboxylic acid group accelerates the
deprotonation process of OER, NiCo LDH prevents NiCoP from being oxidized, the stability of NiCoP is enhanced, and the water
electrolysis performance of NCFCP-NiCo LDH is synergistically promoted. And
high activity,
high current density and high stability are shown on both OER and HER.
