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.
