SELECTIVE ELECTROCHEMICAL RECOGNITION OF A-NAPHTHOL ISOMER AND IN-SITU IMMOBILIZATION OF NAPHTHOQUINONES ON MULTIWALLED CARBON NANOTUBE MODIFIED ELECTRODE FOR TUNABLE ELECTROCATALYSIS

摘要

We claim the selective electrochemical recognition of the alpha naphthol isomer in presence of beta naphthol by carbon nanotubes, such as multiwalled carbon nanotube of pristine, purified and functionalized and singled walled, modified glassy carbon and gold electrodes in aqueous solution.We claim electrode potential -0.6 V to 0.2 vs Ag/AgCl as the optimal window, for electrochemical oxidation of alpha naphthol on the multiwalled carbon nanotube modified electrode in the rage of pH 3-11.
