Abstract

 
Morphology of the nanocomposite coating of Ni+RuO2 prepared through sol-gel process was
observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and revealed a cracked-mud surface structure
with an average particle size of 100 nm. X-ray diffraction (XRD) monographs confirmed
the tetragonal structure of the RuO2 particles in the coating. Adition of alchohol into the sol
solution increased the number of cracks per unit area, active sites and/or effective surface area
of the coating with respect to the alcohol-free sample.
