The electroanalytic performances of glassy carbon paste electrode (GCPE), multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-GCPE and double-walled carbon nanotube (DWCNT)-GCPE, which include HNO3 washed/unwashed materials, were compared by monitoring cyclic voltammograms of potassium ferricyanide and catechol. Electrodes were prepared by introducing proper amount of DWCNT and MWCNT into GCPE. First untreate...

The article presents the results obtained in the course of a study on the use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for the modification of a cement matrix. Carbon nanotubes were introduced into a cement paste in the form of an aqueous dispersion in the presence of a surfactant (SDS-sodium dodecyl sulfate), which was sonicated. The selected physical and mechanical parameters were examined, and the correla...

the aqueous electrochemistry of a number of anthraquinone derivatives was studied by using cyclic voltammetry at the surface of carbon paste electrode (cpe). from measurements of the half-wave potential as a function of ph, the potential - ph diagrams were constructed for each compound. the values of formal potentials and the pk'a of some different redox and acid-base couples involved in each c...

Aggregated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are difficult to be manipulated. Various approaches have been carried out for making nanotube probes, including selection of longest protruding tube from a nanotube aggregate adhered onto substrate [1], direct synthesis of oriented CNTs on a porous surface via metal catalytic pyrolysis [2] and mechanical attachment of CNTs onto an AFM tip under dark-field opti...

A method was developed for assessing ascorbic acid concentration in fruit juices and wine by differential pulse voltammetry. The oxidation peak for ascorbic acid occurs at about 530 mV (versus SCE) on a Pt strip working electrode and at about 470 mV on a carbon paste working electrode. The influence of the operational parameters like the pulse amplitude and the pulse period on the analytical si...
