The invention relates to the technical field of
electrode materials, and particularly discloses a
ferrocobalt oxalate / foamed
nickel composite material and a preparation method and application thereof. Nanometer flower-shaped
cobalt iron oxalate (CoFeC2O4) is loaded on a foamed
nickel substrate through a simple
coprecipitation method. Through the synergistic effect of components and morphology, the hydrazine oxidation reaction can be started at a lower
overpotential, the reaction
kinetics process is accelerated, meanwhile, the
cathode hydrogen evolution reaction is promoted, and the efficiency of the whole water
electrolysis hydrogen production
system is synergistically improved; the
chemical property of the
ferrocobalt oxalate is relatively stable, and the structure and catalytic performance of the
ferrocobalt oxalate can be maintained for a long time; in addition, the raw materials
cobalt and iron are abundant in reserves, the cost is far lower than that of a
noble metal catalyst, the preparation process is simple, the material can be prepared at the
room temperature, industrial large-scale production is facilitated, the material shows huge application potential in the field of hydrazine oxidation assisted water
electrolysis hydrogen production, and efficient and
sustainable development of the hydrogen energy industry is expected to be promoted.
