摘要
Rigid carbon nanotube (CNT) polymer composites were characterized as bare electrochemical transducers and as support for (bio)functionalization. In order to accomplish that, cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy in presence of benchmark redox systems were performed. The response and sensitivity can be enhanced if the density of edges is increased in the CNT systems. Bamboo-like CNTs seem to be the best choice for composite electrodes. Additionally, the CNT electrodes result in a very robust support for chemical functionalization. Direct electron transfer of myoglobin has been verified without the need of electrochemical mediators and without compromising the biomolecule activity. Finally, some other exciting applications of CNT electrochemistry at the nanoscale regime are also highlighted.
