Abstract

In this work, the oxidation of methanol was carried out using Ni and Ni-Co alloy electrodeposited on stainless steel mesh substrate with a view to replace expensive and sensitive platinum and platinum alloy catalysts. The performance of electrode was assessed through cyclic voltammetry in alkaline media. The operating conditions of the electrode were optimized.
