Abstract:
1, 4-Butanediol was oxidized using electro-catalytic properties of composite material of nickel oxide and polyaniline. The formation of composite film of nickel oxide and polyaniline was carried out from aqueous nickel sulphate solution containing aniline using cyclic voltammetry at carbon disc electrode. The fine dispersion of polyaniline within the nickel oxide matrix enhanced the catalytic properties of modified electrode towards the electro-oxidation of 1, 4-butanediol. The results indicated that in 1.0 M sodium hydroxide solution, the anodic peak current increased with the concentration of 1, 4-butanediol.
