Voltammetry of Carbon Nanotubes and the Limitations of Particle-Modified Electrodes: Are Carbon Nanotubes Electrocatalytic?

ABSTRACT: The use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as electrocatalysts is summarized; the limitations of using voltammetry based on CNT-modified electrodes is explained; and the role of mass transport, as well as electrode kinetics, with respect to dictating the voltammetric responses is discussed. The use of single-entity electrochemistry to at least complement, if not replace, ensemble voltammetry is advocated along with other caveats, notably purity, with respect to CNT voltammetry.
