A binary type composite plated nickel electrode with poly(tetrafluoroe
thylene) and silica gel as hydrophobic and hydrophilic components, res
pectively, was prepared and applied to electroreduction of aldehydes.
The electrode gave higher current efficiencies for the reduction and h
igher selectivities for the corresponding alcohols than unplated and p
lated electrodes with either poly(tetrafluoroethylene) or silica gel.
