Gold‐copper alloy nanoparticles (AuCu NPs) were electrodeposited on a graphene – ionic liquid composite film (EGN‐IL). The AuCu NPs showed high electrocatalysis to the oxidation of hydrazine with a catalytic reaction rate constant of about 5.0×10 4  mol/Ls. In phosphate buffer solutions (pH 6.8) the oxidation current of hydrazine at 0.15 V (vs. SCE) at the resulting electrode (AuCuEGN‐IL/GCE) was linear to its concentration in the range of 0.2–110 µM with a sensitivity of 56.7 µA/mM, and the detection limit was 0.1 µM ( S / N =3). The electrode was successfully applied to the determination of waste water.
