The invention discloses a preparation method and application of a high-entropy layered double
hydroxide oxygen evolution catalyst, and relates to the field of
oxygen evolution reaction
catalysis, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, washing foamed
nickel in absolute ethyl
alcohol and deionized water, and then carrying out ultrasonic treatment in a
hydrochloric acid solution to obtain pretreated foamed
nickel; s2, adding
ferric salt,
cobalt salt,
nickel salt,
manganese salt,
zinc salt and a proper amount of
urea into deionized water, then adding
ammonium fluoride, and uniformly stirring to obtain a
mixed solution; and S3, transferring the
mixed solution and the pretreated foamed nickel into a reaction kettle, carrying out a
hydrothermal reaction, and washing and
drying the obtained product to obtain the high-entropy layered double
hydroxide oxygen evolution catalyst. According to the method, the key regulation and
control effect of NH4F on the structure, chemical and electro-catalytic properties of HELDHs in the synthesis process of the HELDHs is analyzed, and the
performance enhancement is attributed to NH4F-induced morphology and
crystal engineering and catalytic active cation vacancies generated in situ through
selective leaching of Zn < 2 + > and adsorption of
sulfate under the alkaline condition.
