Abstract :
Battery graphite rod was modified with Ni nanoparticles with a new electroless
procedure and the performance of the proposed electrode was evaluated as a non-enzymatic
anode for electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose in alkaline media. Glucose fuel cells that use
enzymes or microorganisms catalysts are limited by their extremely low power output and
rather short durability. The structure and morphology of the electrode surface were examined
with X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and scanning electron
microscopy (SEM) techniques. Voltammetric and amperometric studies indicated that the
onset potential of the glucose oxidation is low (~ 0.3 V) and the electrode stability is good. In
addition to these advantageous, due to easily preparation and low cost, it will be used
probably in glucose fuel cells as an anode
