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°C. Ni-Cu alloy electrodes showed excellent chemical stability and better catalytic activity than pure Ni or Cu electrode. © All Rights Reserved.
