NiII1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane electrocatalytic films prepared on top of surface anchored PAMAM dendrimer layers. A new type of electrocatalytic material for the electrochemical oxidation of methanol.

Gold electrodes, previously prepared with surface anchored PAMAM dendrimers, were further modified with a Ni-containing tetraazamacrocycle resulting in a novel electrocatalytic material which proved to be particularly efficient for the electrochemical oxidation of methanol in basic aqueous medium.
