Electroless Deposition of Thionin onto Glassy Carbon Electrode Modified with Single Wall and Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes: Improvement of the Electrochemical Reversibility and Stability

A simple procedure was developed to prepare a glassy carbon electrode modified with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and thionin. Abrasive immobilization of CNTs on a GC electrode was achieved by gently rubbing the electrode surface on a filter paper supporting carbon nanotubes, then immersing the GC/CNTs‐modified electrode into a thionin solution (electroless deposition) for a short period of time (5–50 s for MWCNTs and 5–120 s for SWCNTs ). Cyclic voltammograms of the resulting modified electrode show stable and a well defined redox couple with surface confined characteristic at wide pH range 2–12. The electrochemical reversibility and stability of modified electrode prepared with incorporation of thionin into CNTs film was compared with usual methods for attachment of thionin to electrode surfaces such as electropolymerization and adsorption on the surface of preanodized electrodes. The formal potential of redox couple (E°′) shifts linearly toward the negative direction with increasing solution pH. The surface coverage of thionin immobilized on CNTs glassy carbon electrode was approximately 1.95×10^?10 mol cm^?2 and 3.2×10^?10 mol cm^?2 for MWCNTs and SWCNTs, respectively. The transfer coefficient (α) was calculated to be 0.3 and 0.35 and heterogeneous electron transfer rate constants (K_s) were 65 s^?1 and 55 s^?1 for MWCNTs/thionin and SWCNTs/thionin‐modified GC electrodes, respectively. The results clearly show a great facilitation of the electron transfer between thionin and CNTs adsorbed on the electrode surface. Excellent electrochemical reversibility of redox couple, high stability, technically simple and possibility of preparation at short period of time are of great advantages of this procedure for modification of electrodes.

单壁纳米碳管的纯化研究

A purification method to remove the metal catalysts and impurity carbon materials from arc-discharge-grown single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) has been developed. Microporous membrane and the oxidation in the air for the crude SWCNTs were used to eliminate the coexisting metal catalysts nanoparticles，carbon nanoparticles and amorphous carbon. Then we used the high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) to characterize the crude SWCNTs prepared by arc-discharge method and the purified SWCNTs. The Raman spectra and the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were also utilized to analyze the approach of our purification for SWCNTs. With this method the SWCNTs with the purity more than 95% could be obtained.

Electrochemical Characterization of the Interaction of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes with Doxorubicin

It has been suggested that multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) interacting with pharmaceutics may be introduced into the body as nanocarriers. To deliver the anticancer drugs, covalent or noncovalent functionalization of MWCNTs is required. In this study, the influence of oxidation on MWCNTs in the interaction with chemotherapeutic drug, doxorubicin, was characterized. The binding of doxorubicin with MWCNTs decreased rapidly with the increasing oxidation period with sulfuric acid. However, with nitric acid, the interaction increased initially and slowly decreased with time. The best results were obtained for sulfuric and nitric acid following 1 and 3?h of oxidation, respectively. The results show that sulfuric acid provided more favorable interaction for MWCNTs with doxorubicin than nitric acid.

On the encapsulation of azafullerenes inside the single-walled carbon nanotubes: Density-functional theory based treatments

We theoretically studied the encapsulation of azafullerene (C₅₉N) inside the single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) from the first-principles. Adsorption energy is calculated, and the azafullerene affinities for the typical semiconducting and metallic nanotubes are investigated and compared with those of pure C₆₀ fullerene. It has been found that the azafullerene as well as the fullerene affinity for the semiconducting nanotubes is stronger than that for the metallic ones, and the energy values and binding distances are typical for the physisorption. Our first-principles results indicate that the interaction between SWCNTs and azafullerenes is comparable with the nanotubes-C₆₀ system. The charge analysis shows, however, that the charges have been transferred from the cage to the tube in the azafullerene peapods, while in the fullerene peapods the charges were found to be transferred from the tube to the fullerene nanocage. Furthermore, it was found that the interaction between the considered fullerenes and host nanotubes strongly depends on the tube diameters.     

Hydrogen adsorption on Pt-decorated closed-end armchair (3,3), (4,4) and (5,5) single-walled carbon nanotubes

ABSTRACT

Structures of small lengths of capped (3,3), (4,4) and (5,5) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and their structures decorated by Pt atom and Pt_n clusters (n = 2–4) were obtained using density functional theory calculations. Binding abilities of Pt atom and Pt_n clusters on the outer surface of SWCNTs at various adsorption sites were explored. Adsorptions of H₂ onto Pt atom of the Pt-decorated (3,3), (4,4) and (5,5) SWCNTs were studied and their adsorption energies are reported. The thermodynamic properties and equilibrium constants for H₂ adsorptions on the Pt₄-decorated (3,3), (4,4) and (5,5) SWCNTs were obtained. The adsorption of H₂ on the Pt atom of the Pt₄/(3,3) SWCNT was found to be the most preferred reaction of which enthalpy and free energy changes at room temperature are ?46.61 and ?23.99 kcal/mol, respectively.
