The application discloses a preparation method of a self-supporting catalyst of a
nickel diselenide hierarchical
nanoneedle array, and belongs to the field of new chemical material
catalysis. The method comprises the following steps: dissolving
nickel salt,
cerium salt,
urea and
ammonium fluoride in deionized water, stirring and uniformly mixing, placing the mixture and carbon
fiber paper in a reaction kettle to perform a
hydrothermal reaction, naturally cooling to
room temperature after the reaction is completed, taking out the carbon
fiber paper, washing and
drying, thereby preparing the carbon
fiber paper loaded with a
nickel precursor array, placing the carbon fiber paper loaded with the nickel precursor array in air to perform
calcination, washing and
drying the
calcination product, adding deionized water and NaHSe solution, uniformly mixing, performing a
hydrothermal reaction, naturally cooling to
room temperature after the reaction is completed, taking out the carbon fiber paper, washing and
drying, thereby obtaining the self-supporting catalyst of the nickel
diselenide hierarchical
nanoneedle array rich in nickel vacancies. The catalyst prepared by the method is applied to electrocatalytic
hydrogen evolution, and the experimental results show that the catalyst has excellent
hydrogen evolution performance and has a good application prospect in the field of electrocatalytic
hydrogen evolution.
