Electrooxidation of Ethanol by NiCuGO Composite Prepared via Simple Electrosynthesis Route

Due to the increasing climate crisis new electricity sources have to be developed. Among them direct ethanol fuel cells are an interesting option, but for their commercialization development of new anodic materials, that would be cheap, active, and stable is necessary. Presented research proposes a NiCuGO composite, prepared by a simple electrodeposition method. The proposed material shows good electrocatalytic activity towards ethanol oxidation, with peak current density of 8.01±1.06 mA cm

, Material stability have been examined using chronoamperometry, where samples have shown stable current response.
