In present work, the ionic liquid, 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide was incorporated in the carbon paste electrode as the binder (IL‐CPE). O‐anisidine (OA) monomer is electropolymerized in the presence of an aqueous acidic solution onto IL‐CPE (POA/IL‐CPE). The as‐prepared substrate is used as a porous matrix for dispersion of Ni(II) ions by immersing the modified electrode in a nickel(II) nitrite solution. The modified electrodes are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical methods. The POA/IL‐CPE was applied successfully to highly efficient (current density of 18.2 mA cm −2 ) electrocatalytic oxidation of formaldehyde in alkaline medium. Finally, the rate constant for chemical reaction between formaldehyde and redox sites of the electrode was calculated.
