The invention belongs to the technical field of catalytic and
energy storage applications of high-entropy alloys, and particularly relates to a nanometer porous high-entropy
alloy catalytic
electrode,a preparing method thereof and applications of the
electrode in bi-functional catalytic
water splitting to produce
hydrogen and
oxygen. The
electrode includes, by mole, 15-50% of Ni, 5-20% of a
transition metal A, 15-50% of Mo, 5-25% of a
transition metal B and 5-40% of Mn, wherein the
transition metal A is Fe or Cu, and the transition
metal B is one of Co, Ti or W. The
alloy electrode has a porous structure, pore diameters range from 2 nm to 500 nm, and the specific surface area is 10-80 m<2> / g. The
alloy electrode has advantages of 1) capability of being three-dimensional, porous, self-supporting and no need of any support or
adhesive; 2) a large specific surface area and good electrical
conductivity; 3) a simple
material structure of the non-noble-
metal porous high-entropy electrode, rich
raw material sources, low prices and controllable preparation conditions; and 4) excellent catalytic performance.
