The electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol on a carbon paste electrode (CPE) modified by nickel hexacyanoferrate (NiHCF) film in 0.1 M sodium hydroxide solution is described. This electrode was constructed by immobilizing nickel oxide film on the surface of carbon paste electrode, which was performed by derivatization of nickel hexacyanoferrate (NiHCF) in alkaline solution. Cyclic voltammetry experiments yielded evidence that nickel oxide facilitates methanol oxidation, showing excellent catalytic activity.
