In order to improve the electrocatalytic performance of transition metals in alkaline environment and reduce the cost,a novel spinel heterostructure catalyst was synthesized,and the electrocatalytic activity and catalytic mechanism of R-CFO in 1.0 mol/L KOH solution were studied.Using cobalt nitrate,iron nitrate and ruthenium trichloride as raw materials,RuO2@CoFe2O4 new material was prepared.The catalytic activity and mechanism of R-CFO in 1.0 mol/L KOH solution were studied by XRD,TEM,XPS,electrochemical experiments and theoretical calculation.Electrocatalytic experiments show that the overpotential and Tafel slope of the synthesized new catalyst R-CFO only require 215 mV and 50.93 mV/dec when the current density is 10 mA/cm2 under alkaline environment.The current time curve shows that the catalyst is relatively stable.The synthesized R-CFO electrocatalyst showed excellent catalytic performance.Therefore,a promising method is proposed in this paper,which has potential application value for electrocatalysis.
