The invention discloses a foamed
nickel / MXene-Co3O4
composite electrode and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: (1) pretreatment of foamed
nickel, namely, taking the foamed
nickel, carrying out ultrasonic cleaning with
sulfuric acid,
ethanol and deionized water in sequence, and performing
drying at a constant temperature; and (2) preparation of a
composite electrode, namely, mixing MXene and Co3O4 to prepare mixed
powder,
coating the surface of the foamed nickel with the mixed
powder, and performing vacuum
plasma sintering to prepare the
composite electrode. The foam material composite
electrode is prepared through the foamed nickel, the MXene and the Co3O4, the MXene-Co3O4 mixed
powder is stably combined through the foamed nickel under the high-temperature and high-pressure effects of a vacuum
plasma sintering furnace, use of an
adhesive is avoided, the preparation cost is reduced, and the preparation time is only 40-60 min; the organ-shaped structure of MXene can effectively accommodate and disperse a catalyst, the problem that the catalyst is easy to
agglomerate is overcome, the activity and stability of the catalyst are improved, and the prepared
electrode is large in specific surface area, and good in
conductivity, and an
electrode material with excellent performance can be formed.
