0.25 mmol of nickel nitrate, 0.50 mmol of cobalt nitrate and 0.2g g-C3N4Dissolving and dispersing the quantum dot precursor by using 50ml of glycerol and 10ml of ethylene glycol, then adding the quantum dot precursor into a hydrothermal reaction kettle, carrying out constant-temperature reaction for 6 hours at the temperature of 180 ℃, and finally washing, filtering and drying to obtain the product NiCo2O4Hollow sphere/g-C3N4And (3) mixing the quantum dots with the precursor.
0.2g of NiCo2O4Hollow sphere/g-C3N4Quantum dot mixturePutting the combined precursor in a ceramic crucible, putting the ceramic crucible in a muffle furnace in an air environment, heating and oxidizing for 3h at 600 ℃, and finally collecting a solid product NiCo2O4Hollow sphere/g-C3N4A quantum dot composite material.
NiCo prepared as described above, FIG. 92O4Hollow sphere/g-C3N4Quantum dot composite material of which NiCo2O4The diameter of the hollow sphere is about 350nm, the sphericity is poor (the precursor structure collapses due to overhigh heating oxidation temperature), and the g-C is not existed3N4Quantum dot generation (the precursor is completely oxidized and decomposed due to too high heating and oxidation temperature), and the specific surface area of the composite material is 32 m2g-1. The resistance value of the alternating current impedance is 7.8 omega, and the electrocatalytic performance of the cyclic voltammetry 1.6V is 521A/g.
