Abstract

Ni–Co alloys with different compositions have been electroplated, followed by anodizing and annealing. Subsequently, the impact of metal composition and treatment on the morphology and glucose catalytic properties for the samples are characterized. Results indicate that the samples become loose and porous after anodization and annealing accompanied by the appearance of fluoride and oxides. The highest catalytic sensitivity (2820 μA mM−1 cm−2) and fast current response (<2 s) are obtained in the anodized Co sample. This pioneering work not only offers a promising strategy for the convenient construction of nanoporous alloy composites, but also broads the scope of application of Ni–Co alloys and their compounds in the field of glucose catalysis.
