Carbon-supported NiMo catalysts ( NiMo/C) were synthesized and investigated for the electrooxidation of hydrazine. Their morphology and composition were determined with physicochemical characterizations ( TEM-EDS, XPS and XRD) and further bridged to their electrocatalytic activity. The electrochemical performances measured in rotating disk electrode experiments reached 7.68 +/- 0.96 kA g(metal) (1) for hydrazine electrooxidation at E = 0.4 V vs. RHE for the carbon-supported NiMo ( 9:1)/C. This value is amongst the highest reported in the literature. The large activity of the carbon-supported NiMo ( 9: 1)/C catalyst was ascribed to the effect of a low but non-negligible (< 15 at. %) molybdenum content, as molybdenum atoms stabilize the hydrazine N-N bond, thereby preventing the chemical decomposition of hydrazine into ammonia, and improving the catalyst selectivity towards the complete ( and desired) hydrazine oxidation into N-2 gas.
