Abstract Nickel has been known as a good catalyst due to its high activity and stability, but the potential formation of NiOOH is quite high. In this work, zinc together with nickel was used to modify the surface of boron-doped diamond (BDD) to lower the formation potential of NiOOH. Electro-deposition (multi pulse amperometry) technique was applied at a potential of -1.6 V for 600 s. The prepared electrode (NiZn-BDD) characterized using SEM-EDX and XPS shows that both nickel and zinc were deposited homogenously on the surface of BDD with the ratio of 1:2 for nickel:zinc.
