The invention relates to an 
electrode for an 
alkaline water electrolysis total battery, and a preparation method of the total battery. The total battery comprises a water 
electrolysis tank body, whichis divided into a 
cathode cavity and an 
anode cavity by a diaphragm, wherein the 
cathode cavity and the 
anode cavity are not communicated with each other, a 
cathode and an 
anode are respectively arranged in the cathode cavity and the anode cavity, the diaphragm is a sulfonated polyetherketone 
ion exchange membrane, and the anode is a hydrated 
cobalt-
nickel sulfide nanosheet or a hydrated 
cobalt-
nickel sulfide strip generated on the surface of a 
nickel-based substrate in situ. According to the invention, the 
electrode with the structure has the characteristics of 
high surface roughness and large electrochemical reaction area; due to the existence of the two-dimensional nanosheets, 
electron transfer and substance transfer can be promoted, and more reaction active sites can be provided for water 
electrolysis reaction, so that the initial potential of OER is reduced, and the speed of the water electrolysis reaction is increased; and the performance of the substrate Ni is stable in an alkaline environment, and the structure of the 
nickel sulfide is stable due to the 
doping of the 
Co element, so that the structure and the catalytic performance of the 
nickel sulfide are kept stable in the continuous water electrolysis process.
