Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nanometer material technology and electrochemical energy conversion, in particular to a three-dimensional nitrogen-doped transition metal oxide / nickel sulfide composite catalyst, its preparation method and application. Background technique [0002] Hydrogen energy is widely considered to be an ideal substitute for traditional fossil fuels. At present, among various hydrogen evolution methods, electrochemical water splitting hydrogen production is one of the most promising methods and has been extensively and deeply studied. However, among the current active electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), noble metal Pt-based catalysts are the best reported electrocatalysts, but their high cost and scarcity hinder the large-scale industrial application of Pt-based catalysts. In recent years, many research efforts have been devoted to the development of low-cost non-noble metal HER electrocataly...
