Abstract
The behaviour of oxide-coated Ni-based electrodes for the ethanol oxid ation in alkaline media is investigated. Oxide layers with different a mount of active material are grown by applying a repetitive symmetric square wave potential signal on both polycrystalline Ni and the amorph ous alloy denoted as G15(Ni58Co20Si10B12). The I/E curves for the etha nol oxidation at this type of surfaces exhibit an apparent current lim iting plateau which increases on the amount of electroformed oxide.
