▎ 摘 要
NOVELTY - The manufacturing method involves forming a tungsten carbide nanoflake on a nanocrystalline diamond film (S1) by chemical vapor deposition process in which hydrogen plasma is applied. The degree of supersaturation at a growth front of tungsten carbide is controlled during the formation of tungsten carbide nanoflake, so that the tungsten carbide grows to have a nanowall structure. The activity of the tungsten carbide nanoflake is increased to a hydrogen evolution reaction by removing an oxide layer or a graphene layer from a surface of the tungsten carbide nanoflake (S2). USE - Manufacturing method of electrode (claimed) for hydrogen production. ADVANTAGE - The secondary nucleation on the growth front is minimized during a growth process to vertically grow in a single-crystal form, since the growth species flux is low in a relatively low supersaturation state, thus forming a nanowall structure. The tungsten carbide of nanowall structure is most excellent in onset potential and has no overpotential degradation after a number of cycles. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for an electrode for hydrogen production using a tungsten carbide nanoflake. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows the flowchart of a method for manufacturing an electrode for hydrogen production using a tungsten carbide nanoflake.
