The present invention discloses a
palladium-
iridium-based ultrathin two-dimensional
alloy nanosheet electrocatalyst and a preparation method thereof. Its general composition formula is Pd x Ir y M z , where M is selected from one or more of Pt, Mo, and Ru, x + y + z = 1, 0.3 ≤ x ≤ 0.6, 0.1 ≤ y ≤ 0.5, 0 ≤ z ≤ 0.6, and it has excellent electrocatalytic performance for
hydrogen conversion. The present invention realizes the general synthesis of binary to quinary
palladium-
iridium-based ultrathin two-dimensional
alloy nanosheets based on an oil-phase wet
chemical synthesis method. Using
palladium acetylacetonate, dodecacarbonyltetrairidium,
platinum acetylacetonate,
ruthenium acetylacetonate, and hexacarbonylmolybdenum as the precursors of each
metal element, after fully pre-dissolving with a carbonyl
reducing agent and an inorganic salt structure
inducer in an
organic solvent, slowly raise the temperature to a high temperature for reaction, and then wash and disperse to obtain a palladium-
iridium-based ultrathin two-dimensional
alloy nanosheet electrocatalyst with
uniform size and controllable composition. This material has high intrinsic catalytic activity and excellent anti-poisoning performance, and the preparation method is simple and rapid, providing important
technical support for promoting the commercialization of
hydrogen energy and fuel
cell catalysts.
