Copper‐containing composites ofaniline‐formaldehyde polymer (AFP) are prepared by introduction of CuCl 2 in situ of polycondensation of aniline with formaldehyde and by the impregnating method. Theinfluence of synthesis conditions on phase structure, copper content and electrocatalytic activity of the composites is investigated. The presence of copper oxides (CuO, Cu 2 O) and 2CuCl 2 ⋅5Cu(OH) 2 ⋅H 2 O complex compoundis determinedby XRD analysis in composites obtained by the first and second method, respectively. AFP + CuCl 2 composites are tested on electrocatalytic activity in electrohydrogenation of o ‐nitroaniline. It is shown that composites prepared by the impregnating method possess higher activity as electrocatalysts in this process.
