The invention relates to a preparation method and application of a self-supporting
transition metal compound-based multilevel structure
electrode material and belongs to the technical field of
clean energy preparation. A flexible carbon cloth is selected as a self-supporting substrate for the reason that the flexible carbon cloth has excellent electrical
conductivity, can provide a very large surface area and serve as an efficient
current collector; next, a vertically-arranged NiCo2S4
nanoneedle array is synthesized through one step of a
hydrothermal reaction, after two steps of the
hydrothermal reaction, a NiCo2S4 and carbon cloth
composite material is obtained and further used as a substrate of the next step; then the NiCo2S4 and carbon cloth
composite material is loaded with an ultrathin NiCo-LDH
nanosheet through a simple and convenient electrodepositing method; and after the steps are finished, the self-supporting
transition metal compound-based multilevel structure
electrode material is successfully prepared. The preparation method is simple in step, the cost is low, environmental friendliness is achieved, the process can be controlled, and the preparation method is suitablefor industrial large-scale production manufacturing; the relevant
raw material of the method is free of poison,
environmentally friendly, low in price, easy to obtain and rich in reserve volume; and the obtained product is excellent is property and stable in function.
