The invention belongs to the technical field of catalytic materials, particularly relates to an electrocatalytic
anode oxygen evolution reaction catalyst based on an anion exchange membrane
electrolytic cell, and particularly relates to a high-entropy
oxide electrocatalyst and a preparation method thereof. The high-entropy
oxide electrocatalyst is composed of five
metal elements of Ni, Co, Fe, Mn and Al, is loaded on a foamed
nickel substrate, has a
nanosheet structure, is rich in
oxygen vacancies on the surface, has excellent electrochemical
catalysis performance and stability, and is suitable for electrocatalysis of an electrolytic water
anode side in an alkaline environment. According to the preparation method of the high-entropy
oxide electrocatalyst, foamed
nickel is used as a substrate, salts of five metals of Ni, Co, Fe, Mn and Al which are equal in mole are subjected to
hydrothermal synthesis to form a precursor, and then the high-entropy oxide electrocatalyst is prepared through self-
etching, annealing oxidation and
acid etching, and the high-entropy oxide electrocatalyst is easy and convenient to operate, good in
repeatability, controllable in cost, excellent in performance and suitable for large-scale production.
