An electrochemically active composite film which contains multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) incorporated with naphthol green B (NGB) was synthesized on glassy carbon, gold and indium tin oxide electrodes by potentiodynamic method. The presence of MWCNTs in the composite (MWCNTs-NGB) film modified electrodes mediates redox reaction of Fe III/II present in NGB, whereas no redox reaction of NGB occurred at the bare electrode. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy studies revealed that NGB and MWCNTs present in MWCNTs-NGB composite film enhances electron shuttling between the reactant and electrode surface. The surface morphology of the MWCNTs and MWCNTs-NGB were studied using atomic force microscopy, which revealed that NGB incorporated and covered the MWCNTs on the modified electrode. The MWCNTs-NGB composite film exhibits promising enhanced electrocatalysis towards S 2 O 8 2À . The response of S 2 O 8 2À at MWCNTs and MWCNTs-NGB composite films was measured using both cyclic voltammetry and i-t curve techniques. The linear concentration range of S 2 O 8 2À determination at MWCNTs-NGB composite film was from 15.9 mM to 7.1 mM. The sensitivity of MWCNTs-NGB composite film towards S 2 O 8 2À was À301.9 mA mM À1 cm À2 , and the limit of detection was 6.9 mM. These above values are better than the values obtained at MWCNTs film.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
