                         electrochemical behavior of Cu, Pd, and Cu/Pd bimetallic system 
                         was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry. From these results, the 
                         formation of the Cu/Pd composite was verified. In addition, Cu 
                         with different phases and a Cu/Pd phase in the composite were 
                         obtained. Morphological analysis by scanning electron microscopy 
                         (SEM) revealed a homogeneous distribution of Cu/Pd bimetallic 
                         particles with intermediary dimensions compared to those observed 
                         in Cu or Pd electrodeposits separately. These composites were 
                         tested as electrocatalysts for nitrate reduction in 
                         Britton-Robinson buffer solution (pH 9). Electrochemical 
                         measurements showed that composites with higher Cu content 
                         displayed the best electrocatalytic activity for nitrate 
                         reduction, and the Cu/Pd phase in the bimetallic system served to 
                         improve the Cu adherence on BDD electrode.",
