Abstract: | A nickel hydroxide-modified nickel electrode (Ni(OH)2/Ni) was successfully prepared by the cyclic voltammetry (CV) method and the electrocatalytic properties of the electrode for formaldehyde and methanol oxidation have been investigated respectively. The Ni(OH)2/Ni electrode exhibits high electrocatalytic activity in the reaction. A new method has been developed for formaldehyde determination at the nickel hydroxide-modified nickel electrode and the experimental parameters were optimized. The oxidation peak current is linearly proportional to the concentration of formaldehyde in the range of 7.0 × 10?5 to 1.6 × 10?2 M with a detection limit of 2.0 × 10?5 M. Recoveries of artificial samples are between 93.3 and 103.5%. The effect of scan rate and methanol concentration on the electrochemical behavior of methanol were investigated respectively. |
