To　improve　the　electrode　catalytic　activity,　palladium-nickel　(Pd-Ni)　bimetallic　electrode　was　prepared　by　electrochemical　deposition　in　the　presence　of　cationic　surfactant-cetyl　trimethyl　ammonium　bromide　(CTAB).　Meshed　titanium　(Ti)　was　used　as　substrate.　The　two　electrodes　(Pd-Ni/Ti　electrode　and　Pd-Ni(CTAB)/Ti)　were　characterized　by　means　of　cyclic　voltammetry　(CV),　scanning　electron　microscopy　(SEM)　and　X-ray　diffraction　(XRD).　CV　results　reveal　that　the　Pd-Ni　bimetallic　electrode　prepared　in　the　presence　of　CTAB　exhibits　higher　hydrogen　adsorption　capability　than　that　prepared　without　CTAB.　SEM　tests　show　that　CTAB　obviously　changes　the　surface　morphology　of　the　electrode.　Pd-Ni/Ti　electrode　surface　looks　like　a　densely　dendritic　coating　composed　of　large　continuous　agglomerates.　Pd-Ni(CTAB)/Ti　electrode　presents　clusters　of　polygonal　and　loosely　packed　particles　which　can　increase　the　surface　area　and　obtain　more　catalytic　sites.　XRD　results　indicate　that　both　the　two　electrode　surface　films　were　made　of　Pd-Ni　bimetals.　The　quantities　of　Pd　and　Ni　on　PdNi/Ti　electrode　and　on　Pd-Ni(CTAB)/Ti　electrode　were　analyzed　by　inductively　coupled　plasma-atomic　emission　spectrometry　(ICP-AES).　All　the　experimental　results　indicate　that　Pd-Ni(CTAB)/Ti　electrode　exhibits　a　favorable　surface　characteristic　and　a　cheerful　prospect　of　catalytic　degradation　capability.　The　reductive　dechlorination　potential　of　Pd-Ni(CTAB)/Ti　electrode　was　more　higher　than　that　of　Pd-Ni/Ti　electrode.
