In recent years, the increasing energy consumption and environmental pollution problems have aroused widepublic concern. Traditional fossil energy is widely used because of its easy use and low access cost, but the corresponding negative effects can not be ignored. Exploring alternative and sustainable energy conversion, as well as establishing corresponding energy storage systems to address the current energy crisis, has become an urgent problem to be addressed. Hydrogen energy, because of its high energy density and environmentally friendly use products, stands out from many new sources of energy and is considered by researchers to be the most promising alternative to traditional fossil fuels. At present, electrolytic water decomposition hydrogen production is the most economical and sustainable method of large-scale hydrogen production. However, due to the slow reaction dynamics and high super-electric potential, the current development of electrolytic aquatic hydrogen technology is difficult to achieve large-scale practical application. In view of this situation, efficient precious metal catalysts (e.g. Pt, Rh, RuO2, etc.) are required to reduce the high potential of the electrocatalytic reaction and improve reaction dynamics. However, their high cost and low abundance greatly hinder large-scale practical applications. Therefore, the development of low-cost, abundant and efficient non-precious metal catalysts to replace platinum, palladium and other precious metal catalysts is an important and urgent work.<br>This paper is based on the design and preparation of an efficient self-supporting phosphated cobalt/radon heterostructure catalyst. Using carbon cloth as a self-supporting conductive substrate, non-precious metals are grown in situ by gas-phase hydrothermal method, and after simple roasting with sodium hypophosphate in argon, the non-precious metal catalyst with clear structure characteristics, precise composition and heterogeneous structure shows excellent electrolytic hydrolysis hydrogen and oxygen analysis. The specific research content is as follows:<br>1. Using carbon cloth as a self-supporting substrate, urea, ammonium fluoride as an etching agent, cobalt nitrate in hexagon as raw material, through gas-phase hydrothermal method synthesis of cobalt fluoride pre-exorcised. The precursor and sodium hypophosphate are roasted in argon atmosphere and the CoP/CC nanowire material is synthesized. The phosphated cobalt and sodium dihydrated argon were self-supported by the gas-phase hydrothermal legal system to support the MoO2/CoP/CC heterogeneous structure catalyst.<br>2. Through the representation of XRD, SEM, TEM and other instruments, the results show that MoO2/CoP/CC nanowires are more rough on the surface, grain smaller, and zirconia is evenly wrapped on the surface of the phospanded cobalt nanowire on the basis of maintaining the original CoP/CC nano-wire needle-like appearance. There is a clear heterogeneous junction interface between phosphated cobalt and molybdenum oxide, which can increase the electrochemical activity ratio of the catalyst to the surface area and provide more exposed activity sites. The synergy between radon oxide and phosphated cobalt in heterogeneous structure is also beneficial to improve electrocatalytic activity.<br>3. Electrochemical performance testshows show that with 1 M KOH alkaline solution as the medium, the excess potential required for CoP/CC, MoO2/CoP/CoP/CC catalyst material to reach 10 mA cm-2 current density in hydrogen analysis reaction, and 350 mV and 210 mV respectively in the oxygen analysis reaction. At the same time, electrochemical AC impedance and ECSA results show that MoO2/CoP/CC has smaller impedance and larger electrochemical activity ratio of surface area than CoP/CC.<br>4. By controlling the experimental scheme of Mo/Co scale preparation for multiple sets of comparative experiments, the influence of Mo/Co scale on the formation of heterogeneous structure interface is observed by XRD, SEM, TEM and other morphological representation, and the Mo/Co ratio in the case of optimal catalytic performance is found by electrochemical performance test. Provides a promising electrocatalyst for practical applications.
