Abstract — A method of preparing composition electrodeposits (CED) nickel–fullerene C₆₀ is proposed. The kinetics of electrodeposition of CED under potentiostatic conditions and the deposit structure are studied. It is shown that fullerene species are hydrogenated during the deposition. The corrosion and electrochemical behavior of CED in 0.5 M H₂SO₄ is studied.
