Novel composite films consisting of nitrogen-doped multi-walled carbon nanotubes (N-MWCNTs) were fabricated by means of chemical vapor deposition technique and decorated with gold (AuNP) and iridium (IrNP) nanoparticles possessing diameters of 12.5 and 2.7 nm, respectively. The electrochemical responses of fabricated composite films, further denoted as N-MWCNTs/MNPs (M: Au and Ir), toward ferrocyanide/ferricyanide, [Fe(CN)6]3−/4− redox couple was probed by means of cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques. The findings demonstrate that both N-MWCNT/MNP composite films exhibit greater electrochemical response and sensitivity toward [Fe(CN)6]3−/4− compared to unmodified N-MWCNTs. The results verify that the N-MWCNT/MNP composite films are extremely promising for application in electrochemical sensing.
