Nano flake-shaped spinel oxidation catalyst for anion exchange membrane water electrolysis and preparation method thereof

Abstract

An oxidation catalyst for anion exchange membrane water electrolysis that exhibits excellent catalytic activity, electrical conductivity and a large surface area is disclosed. A preparation method of the oxidation catalyst, an anode for anion exchange membrane water electrolysis and an anion exchange membrane water electrolysis system, each including the oxidation catalyst are also disclosed. The oxidation catalyst for anion exchange membrane water electrolysis includes a spinel-based oxide, and is prepared by precisely controlling the use of complexing agent and the pH using a co-precipitation method, whereby the oxidation catalyst can reduce the catalyst particle size to facilitate uniform dispersion of high viscosity and has a nano-sized flake structure, which makes it possible to uniformly coat the ionomer between flakes, and forms a porous structure, thereby widening the surface area and achieving excellent catalytic activity.
