Ferrocene-doped mof-derived metal carbide electrocatalyst, and preparation method and application thereof

Abstract

A ferrocene-doped MOF-derived metal carbide electrocatalyst, and a preparation method and application thereof are disclosed. The preparation method includes: dissolving ZIF-8 in absolute methanol to prepare a solution A, and dissolving ferrocene monocarboxylic acid in DMF to prepare a solution B; uniformly mixing the solution A with the solution B to prepare a reaction solution, and performing a hydrothermal reaction on the reaction solution; and centrifuging, washing, oven-drying, and calcining and carbonizing a product obtained after the reaction to prepare the ferrocene-doped MOF-derived metal carbide electrocatalyst. The catalyst of the present disclosure has the advantages of porousness, multiple active sites, and the like, which further improve catalytic properties of the electrocatalyst. The electrocatalyst can be applied to a primary zinc-air battery as an oxygen reduction catalyst, and has excellent electrochemical properties under alkaline conditions (0.1 M KOH).
