Abstract:
A three-dimensional structure MnO
2@NiCo
2O
4@Ni-foam composite with NiCo
2O
4 nanowires as core and MnO
2 nanoparticles as shell was prepared by two-step hydrothermal method. The structure and morphology of the composite catalyst were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Cyclic voltammetry (CV), constant current charge and discharge performance (GCD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were performed. The electrochemical performance of the composite was characterized and the catalytic performance of the composite by ozone catalytic degradation device was investigated. The results showed that the MnO
2@NiCo
2O
4@Ni-foam composite had lower impedance in the frequency range of 0.1-10 000 Hz. It was found by degradation experiments that the degradation rate of MnO
2@NiCo
2O
4@Ni-foam to ozone was higher than 50%, showing good catalytic effect, which indicated that MnO
2@NiCo
2O
4@Ni-foam composite had broad application prospects in degrading ozone and purifying air.
