Nickel-copper oxide nanoflowers for highly efficient glucose electrooxidation

The development of highly active and low-cost electrocatalysts with excellent durability is a major challenge for glucose catalysis. Here, we report fast electrodeposition method preparing new NiCuO flower-like nanostructure non-noble metals. catalyst shows significant efficiency electrooxidation, which reaches an oxidative peak mass activity 376.80 A g?1 retains 66% the original current over 10,000 s in stability test by chronoamperometry. We credit oxidation outstanding to combination metal materials nanostructures NiCuO/ITO electrode, results large electrochemically surface areas (ECSAs) 85.9 m2 charge transfer as measured electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). This nanoflower provides functional material building fuel cells other devices.
