【 摘 要 】

The present manuscriptshows the synthesis of nickel hydroxide supported in carbon (Ni(OH)2/C)as a alternative material for catalytic alcohol oxidation in alkaline medium.The Ni(OH)2/C was synthesized in different percentage using a sonicbath. No current densities variation during successive cyclic voltammetry experimentswas observed. The Ni(OH)2/C electrodes exhibit a potent and persistentelectrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of different alcohols. In addition,alcohols electooxidation occurs in less positive potential compared with noblemetal catalyst.
