Abstract

Nickel-copper multilayer metal hydroxide electrode was obtained by multilayer coating electrodeposition on copper substrate in polyligand pyrophosphate-ammonia electrolyte by two-pulse potentiostatic method. The alternating layers are Ni-Cu alloy layers of 110–430 nm thickness deposited at a potential of − 1.175 V and the layers of mixture of copper and nickel with their hydroxides of 40–260 nm thickness deposited at a potential of − 1.35 V. Cyclic voltammetry was used to show that the surface coverage of Ni(OH)2/NiOOH redox species of electrode with multilayer coating (4.80 × 10−6 mol cm−2) is higher as compared to electrode with Ni-Cu alloy coating (3.66 × 10−6 mol cm−2) and it is about one order of magnitude higher as compared to the electrode with porous nickel coating. The multilayer electrode shows the catalytic activity toward the ethanol oxidation reaction in alkaline medium. The ratio of the current of ethanol oxidation peak to the current of anodic peak in alkaline solution without ethanol on electrode with multilayer coating is 1.22 times higher as compared to the electrode with alloy coating.
