Abstract

The invention discloses an iron-based hydrogen production electric catalyst and a preparation method. The catalyst is of a core-shell structure; the core of the catalyst is FeOOH or Fe2O3, or an ironcompound of FeBx, FeSx, FePx, FeSix, FeCx or FeNx; the shell is an elementary substance Fe. The preparation method comprises the following steps: oxidizing an iron compound in the air, and forming a ferric oxide shell layer on the surface of the iron compound; reducing the oxide shell layer on the surface into an elementary iron substance Fe with a photochemical method or an electrochemical method, thereby forming the core-shell structure. After the elementary iron and the iron compound form the core-shell structure, relatively good electrocatalytic activity is achieved, and the overpotentialis greatly reduced. The catalyst has good electrochemical hydrogen production activity and stability, and dye sensitization visible light hydrogen production activity and stability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical catalysis, and relates to a catalyst for hydrogen production by electrolysis of water, a catalyst for hydrogen production by photocatalytic decomposition of water and a preparation method. Background technique [0002] With the development of human society, fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas will be exhausted day by day, and energy shortage and environmental pollution have become two major challenges facing mankind. Therefore, the research and development of clean and renewable energy is imminent. Hydrogen is considered to be the most promising energy carrier because of its high calorific value, cleanness and no pollution. The electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen has the characteristics of high efficiency and pure products, and is one of the important methods for industrial hydrogen production at present. However, the current electrode materials used for water electrolysis oft...
