Chemical doping with foreign atoms is an effective method to intrinsically modify the properties of host materials. Among them, nitrogen plays a critical role in regulating electronic carbon Recently, graphene, as true two-dimensional material, has shown fascinating applications bioelectronics and biosensors. In this paper, we report facile strategy prepare N-doped graphene by using plasma treatment synthesized via chemical method. Meanwhile, possible schematic diagram been proposed detail...
The ability to solubilize single-wall and multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNT) in the presence of perfluorinated polymer Nafion is described. Such use as a solubilizing agent for CNT overcomes major obstacle creating CNT-based biosensing devices. Their association with does not impair electrocatalytic properties CNT. resulting CNT/Nafion modified glassy-carbon electrodes exhibit strong stable response toward hydrogen peroxide. marked acceleration peroxide redox process very attractive operation...
