The invention discloses a method for preparing a carbon-coated
cobalt-
cerium composite material by using rapid
Joule heat, and belongs to the technical field of catalytic materials and
hydrogen production by electrolyzing water. The method comprises the following steps: dissolving a
cobalt source and a
cerium source in a
solvent to obtain a
mixed metal salt precursor solution, and then uniformly dipping or dropwise adding the
mixed metal salt precursor solution onto a
cellulose-based
porous carbon source precursor to obtain a supported precursor; and finally, placing the load type precursor at two ends of an
electrode of a
Joule thermal reaction device, and under a vacuum condition, applying instantaneous current to carry out
Joule thermal shock treatment so as to prepare the CoCe-C
composite material. The preparation process is extremely simple, the
energy consumption is extremely low, expensive
precious metal and complex equipment are not needed, the obtained CoCe-C material serves as an
anode catalyst to be applied to a hydrazine oxidation auxiliary water
electrolysis system, the excellent catalytic activity and stability are shown, the
voltage of an electrolytic bath can be remarkably reduced, low-energy-consumption, efficient and safe
hydrogen production is achieved, and the method is suitable for industrial production. Wide industrial application prospects are realized.
