Nickel-nanoparticles for electro-oxidation of ethanol

A modified electrode preparation with cheap materials for the electrocatalytic oxidation of ethanol was investigated in this study. Nickel oxide nanoparticle-modified glassy carbon electrode (NiO-NPs@GCE) was utilized atroom temperature (20C) for electro-oxidation of ethanol in alkaline media. This electrode can promote the fuel cells anode as an excellent device for producing the energy from ethanol. Decreasing the cost of electrode and increasing the produced energy was reached in our work
