Electrochemistry on Carbon-Nanotube-Modified Surfaces

Apart from the promising electrochemical properties that will be exhaustively discussed through this chapter, carbon nanotubes have become a hot research topic due to their outstanding electronic, mechanical, thermal, optical and chemical properties and their biocompatibility. Near- and long-term innovative applications can be foreseen including nanoelectronic and nanoelectromechanical devices, held emitters, probes, sensors and actuators as well as novel materials for mechanical reinforcement, fuel cells, batteries, energy storage, (bio)chemical separation, purification and catalysis [20]. 

In this chapter, we will focus on CNTs as advanced materials for the design of electrochemical devices. The next section vdll be devoted to review the structure, electronic, chemical and electrochemical properties of CNTs. Section 3.3 will comprise an overview of the synthesis, purification and (bio)functionalization of CNT, as well as the modification of substrates with CNT. In Section 3.4, we will address the electrochemical applications of functionalized CNT electrodes
