✦ Synopsis

The electrochemical behaviour of electroless cobalt in IN NaOH was studied at 35. 60 and 85°C by cyclic voltammetry. Three anodic peaks corresponding to the formation of Co(OH),/ COO, Co304, Co OOH were observed. The observed cathodic peaks were due to the reduction of the higher cobalt oxides to Co(OH), and also due to the reduction of Co(OH)2 to cobalt. The variation of peak potential with sweep rate was found to be appreciable only in the case of anodlc peak (I). The
