The invention discloses a preparation method of a
porous carbon loaded
tungsten carbide composite material, and belongs to the technical field of material science. According to the material, tungstencarbide nanoparticles are uniformly loaded on a
carbon skeleton with a large number of network pore channel structures in a high-dispersion manner. The specific preparation method comprises the following steps: taking
metal nitrate, a
tungsten source, fuel and a soluble organic
carbon source as raw materials; carrying out a
solution combustion synthesis reaction to obtain a precursor in which
tungsten oxide and other
metal oxides are uniformly embedded in a
carbon matrix, and carrying out subsequent high-temperature
carbonization and
acid washing to remove the oxides by using a synergistic
coupling pore-forming effect, thereby obtaining the
porous carbon-loaded
tungsten carbide material with the specific surface area of 1,000 m < 2 > / g or above. According to the invention, raw materials are easy to obtain, the process is simple, and the
equipment requirement is low; the prepared
porous carbon-loaded
tungsten carbide powder material is fine in particle, narrow in
particle size distribution and good in
dispersity, has high specific surface area and pore volume, is uniformly loaded with
tungsten carbide particles, is not easy to fall off, can remarkably reduce the cost of an
electrocatalyst and improve the
hydrogen evolution catalytic performance of the
electrocatalyst as a
platinum-substituted catalyst, and has a good industrial application prospect.
