In this study, catalytic electrode prepared via a simple one-step hydrothermal method to load La-doped NiCo on a copper sheet. XRD, FESEM, cyclic voltammetry and other tests were used to study the influence of the molar ratio of NiCo salt and the amount of La doped on the microstructure of the sample and the electrocatalytic oxidation performance of methanol. The results show that the introduction of Co increases the particle size, and the performance get better when the molar ratio of Ni2 +/Co2 + in the solution is 8: 2. The doping of La affect the morphology of the particles. As the doping amount of La increases, the peak current density can increase and then decrease. The sample doped with 10-4 mol/L La obtained superior performance; the peak current density reached 50.36 mA/cm2. After 2000 cycles, it retained nearly 100% of the initial current density. It has good stability and can be used with direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC).
