As glucose is the richest carbohydrate in nature and has extremely high energy density, direct glucose fuel cell (DGFC) is considered to be a promising power source. Catalyst is the key to the development of DGFC. The expensive noble metal catalysts hinder their commercial applications. Ni is a cheap metal with an excellent catalytic performance. Ni and its compounds using glassy carbon as the carrier have been developed for glucose oxidation, but the smooth surface of glassy carbon could not be conductive to dispersion of nanoparticles. The development of nanoporous materials may overcome the drawback. In this experiment, Cu-based surface Cu-Zn alloy was prepared by thermal diffusion and Nanoporous Copper (NPC) with high surface area was prepared by removing of Zn element from the alloy in 5% H2SO4 solution. NPC supported Nickel-Boron (Ni-B/NPC) alloy electrode was fabricated by ultrasonic-assisted electroless plating. The Ni-B/NPC alloy elec- trode was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electrochemical methods. XRD and SEM results showed Ni-B alloy electrode was amorphous structure with high dispersion of Ni-B nanoparticles. Chronoamperometry (CA) result found the prepared Ni-B/NPC amorphous alloy electrode with ultrasonic for 5 min had the highest electrochemical active surface area (EASA) and surface roughness. The CV results of glucose oxidation at the Ni-B/NPC amorphous alloy electrode showed the onset oxidation potential had a negative shift of 39 mV and the oxidation peak current density increased by 18.9 times compared with the bulk Ni electrode in alkaline media. Meanwhile, the kinetic parameters of electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose at the Ni-B/NPC amorphous alloy electrode were determined by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), CA method and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), such as charge transfer coeffi- cient (fl), catalytic rate constant (k) and diffusion coefficient (D). The results indicated t
