Electrodeposited palladium was used as an electrocatalyst for electrochemical oxidation of hydrazine and methanol and the development of a sensitive platform for their detection. The electrochemical behavior of the electrode was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) while electroanalytical properties were determined by means of differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The electrodeposited Pd catalyst exhibited good electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of hydrazine in neutral solution and methanol oxidation in alkaline solution. Under optimized DPV conditions, the electrodeposited Pd electrode shows good sensing capability in hydrazine and methanol detection.
