Abstract: The electrocatalytic oxidation of cyclohexanol on the Ti/Ni/NiO electrode in the alkaline solution was investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The oxidation of cyclohexanol follows the electrocatalytic mechanism. The Ti/Ni/NiO electrode can be used as an effective catalyst for the oxidation of cyclohexanol to adipic acid in basic media.

Key words: titanium, nickel, nickel oxide, electrode, cyclic voltammetry, cyclohexanol, adipic acid, catalytic oxidation
