Abstract
Graphene oxide (G
O) was synthesized by a modified method . The different nickel plating graphene samples with diverse
amount of nickel plating are synthesized by a novel method . The three electrode system electrochemical workstation
(CHI670) is used to test the electrochemi cal property through the cyclic voltammetry curve and time current curve. The
samples’ surface morphology is characterized respectively by the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission
electron microscope (TEM). The sol gel method made distinct d eep color surface layer growth tightly on original sheets.
When the NiSO 4 ·6H 2 O involved in the reaction was 0.65 g, the samples demonstrated superior catalytic activity in
comparison to other concentrations. In 0.1 M NaOH electrolyte solution, methanol oxi dation peak occurred at around 0.7 V
with a higher and relatively stable electric current value. The most suitable loading quantity exhibited superior
electro catalytic performance..
