The invention provides a method for transferring an electrically-deposited Co-P catalyst, comprising the following steps: using an alkaline water solution with the pH value of above 13 to process the electrically-deposited Co-P catalyst on a conductive substrate so that the Co-P catalyst is separated from the conductive substrate. By adopting the method, the electrically-deposited Co-P catalyst can be easily transferred without affecting the activity of the catalyst.
