The invention discloses a preparation method and application of a VN@WN
nanoparticle with an electrocatalysis function. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly,
grinding a mixture of dicyandiamide,
ammonium metavanadate and
phosphotungstic acid, carrying out sieving with a 60-mesh
sieve to obtain a mixture, putting the mixture into a porcelain boat, putting the porcelain boatinto a tubular
atmosphere furnace, and respectively placing two furnace plugs at the two ends of a tube at an interval of 5 cm; introducing
inert gas into the tubular
atmosphere furnace to exhaust air in the tube, controlling the inner air pressure of the tube to be -1 MPa to 0 MPa, heating the tube to 700 DEG C to 900 DEG C at a heating rate of 10 DEG C / min, and maintaining the tube at the temperature for 120 min to 180 min; and carrying out cooling to obtain a sample and
grinding the cooled sample in a
mortar to obtain the VN@WN
nanoparticle. The VN@WN
nanoparticle with the electrocatalysisfunction prepared by using the preparation method is applied to the enhancement of
hydrogen production activity. The VN@WN nanoparticle prepared by the method has an electrocatalytic function, can provide a clean and
sustainable energy source for
electrolysis of water, and is capable of eliminating the obstacle that a high-cost
platinum-based material is widely applied to the industry. The
electrocatalyst is simple in preparation process, good in
hydrogen production performance and good in stability and circularity.
