Abstract

CuNi alloy on the basis of copper at different ratio Cu/Ni are prepared by codepostion. The cathode activtiy of film are studied by steadystate polarization for electroreduction nitrobenzene (NB) and 1,5dinitroanthraquinone (1,5DNA) to paminophenol and 1,5diamino4,8dihydroanthraquinone respectly. The results show that the alloy cathodes at different ratio Cu/Ni have different exchange current density (io) and apparent activition energy (EA). The alloy (CN30) has maximal io  and minimal EA by codeposition at the following conditions: electrolyte: 0.05 mol/L CuSO4·5H2O+0.6 mol/L NiSO4·6H2O+0.25 mol/L Na3Cit·2H2O; current density: 0.6 A/dm2 , pH=6, temperature at 50 ℃. Compared with the common cathodes such as Cu, Cu/Hg, Monel alloy, CN30 alloy is more suitable in these system.
