For the first time Co 2 SnO 4 (CTO)/Carbon nanotubes (CNT) composites were prepared and used to modify glassy carbon electrodes for the amperometric determination of hydrogen peroxide. The catalytic activity of composites towards the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide was dependent on the quantity of CNT present in the composite and to the pH of the medium. The pure cobalt stannate phase with a ratio of 3 : 1 (CTO:CNT) exhibited the best catalytic activity towards hydrogen peroxide oxidation at low potentials (0.200 and 0.500 V). A linear relationship between current and hydrogen peroxide concentration was obtained with a sensitivity of 95 and 258 mA mM À1 and a detection limit of 0.130 and 0.08 mM respectively.
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.
