CoNi alloy nanoparticles were synthesized on glassy carbon(GC)electrode(CoNi/GC)by electrochemical deposition.SEM images showed that the prepared CoNi alloy nanoparticles were 18-facet polyhedra with an average particles size of 100 nm
dispersed on the GC electrode surfaces uniformly.The selected area electron diffraction(SAED)pattern showed that CoNi alloy nanoparticles were single crystals.X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)showed that the Co(0)and Ni(0)were dominant.The electrocatalytical activities for nitrite reduction of bulk Co
bulk Ni and CoNi/GC electrodes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry(CV).Onset potential(Ei)of nitrite reduction on CoNi/GC electrode was positively shifted 90 mV
and peak current density(jp)was 6-14 times higher than those of bulk Co and bulk Ni electrode.CoNi/GC electrode also showed an enhancement of electrocatalytical activity towards oxygen reduction reaction
of which peak current density(jp)was 1.7 times and dynamic current density(jk)was 5.2 times higher than those of GC electrode.
