The structure of Ni/Ti was characterized by SEM and EDS. Oxidation of hydrazine on the Ni/Ti electrode in 1 mol·L-1 NaOH solution was studied with cyclic voltammograms(CV) and chronoamperometry (CA).The results show that Ni/Ti electrode was electrochemically active towards hydrazine oxidation. The high current density was recorded on the Ni/Ti electrode,and the onset potential for the hydrazine oxidation was-0.3 V as the hydrazine concentration was 70 mmol·L-1.
