The invention discloses a multi-stage structure
electrode for electrolyzing water, and a preparation method of the multi-stage structure
electrode. The preparation method comprises the following steps: carrying out
electrochemical etching to obtain a primary-structure rough
nickel net, depositing iron-based
bimetal and
alloy thereof on the surface of the rough
nickel net according to different application purposes, and carrying out electrochemical oxidation in an alkaline
electrolyte to form an iron-based bimetallic oxyhydroxide on the surface to obtain a
tertiary structure. According to the method, the roughness of the surface of the
nickel net is increased, anchoring sites are increased, and through the synergistic effect between the multi-stage structures, efficient catalytic activity is achieved while lasting durability is kept, and the performance is better than that of a loaded single-stage structure or a loaded double-stage structure; when the
decomposition voltage reaches 2.0 V, the maximum
current density can reach 10000 A / m<2> or above; the
stability test after activation is that the performance remains basically unchanged after continuous
hydrogen production for more than 100 hours at the
current density of 6000 A / m<2>, and the
electrode material prepared by the method shows excellent catalytic activity and stability, and is very suitable for industrial application of an electrolytic bath for electrolyzing water.
