Binary catalyst nickel oxides (NiO) and manganese oxides (MnO) were prepared individually via hydrothermal route. The catalysts were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, cyclic voltammetry (CV), and amperometry. Morphology studies revealed physical structure of nanowires nickel oxide and spherical manganese oxide with estimated length of 0.3–2.3 m and diameter of 0.2–0.8 m, respectively. Surface areas obtained for nickel oxide and manganese 2 −1 2 −1 oxide were 68.9 m g and 45.2 m g , respectively. Cyclic voltammetry exhibits electrochemical responses corresponding to the electrode surfaces.
