Abstract
The electrocatalytic oxidation of formaldehyde on Nickel-Poly (o-toluidine) - polyvinylalcohol modified glassy carbon electrode (Ni-P(OT)-PVA/GCE) was developed. This involves in situ electropolymerization of o-toluidine at GCE, which is following to the incorporation of Ni (II) to polymeric layer by immersion of modified electrode in 1.0 M nickel sulphate solution. The general electrochemical behavior was characterized by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry methods in alkaline media. The results showed that the Ni-P(OT)-PVA/GCE system exhibits a significant electrocatalytic activity towards oxidation of formaldehyde. The effects of scan rate and formaldehyde concentration on the electrocatalytic oxidation of formaldehyde were also investigated at the surface of Ni-P(OT)-PVA/GCE.
