The present invention relates to the technical field of water electrolysis. Disclosed are a catalyst for seawater electrolysis, and a preparation method therefor and a use thereof. A MOFs-based electrocatalyst having excellent chloride ion corrosion resistance, stability and high controllability is synthesized by means of sulfuration treatment, and is used for an OER reaction of seawater electrolysis. The catalyst has excellent structural stability, chlorine corrosion resistance, more surface active sites, and high catalytic activity. Upon an electrochemical test of the catalyst, only Ni3S4 is restructured to form S-O anions, while NiFe-MOF does not undergo significant oxidation and structural changes, indicating that the NiFe-MOF has good structural stability. In addition, the S-O anions are preferentially adsorbed onto Fe3+ at a heterogeneous interface, thereby modulating the electronic structure of nearby Ni2+, and thus optimizing the adsorption and desorption ability of Ni2+ toward OER reaction intermediates.
