The Ni-Cu alloy electrodes were prepared by constant current electrodeposition under different conditions.The morphology of Ni-Cu alloy was characterized by SEM.The selective electro-oxidation of benzyl alcohol in alkaline solution was studied with cyclic voltammograms and in-situ FTIR spectroscopy.The Ni-Cu alloy electrode showed the best electro-catalytic activity while the electrodeposition time was 10 min
cathode current density was 4 A·dm-2
and the electrodeposition temperatures was 45℃.Ni-Cu alloy electrodes showed excellent chemical stability and better catalytic activity than pure Ni or Cu electrode.
