Structure of CNTs versus Electrochemical Properties

Considering the interfacial nature of electrochemical processes, CNTs are ideal candidates for electron transfer analysis as has been widely demonstrated. Since the pioneering work of Britto et al. [32], several studies have been conducted to determine the electrochemical properties and their relationship with structural and/or electronic features. 

Regarding the latter, Compton et al. [38-40] reported a series of works where they compared the electrochemical response of CNTs with basal plane pyrolytic 

CNT-T (upper curves in c and e), and 0-CNT-T electrodes (lower curves in c,e). The dotted curves were recorded at the corresponding CNT electrodes in the absence of the electrochemical probe molecules.
