TLDR
In this article, a heteropolyanion-containing polypyrrole/carbon nanotubes modified electrode has been fabricated through entrapment of phosphomolybdic acid (H3PMo12O40) in poly pyrrole (PPy) film on multi-walled carbon Nanotubes (MWNTs) modified gold electrode.
Abstract
A heteropolyanion‐containing polypyrrole/carbon nanotube modified electrode has been fabricated through entrapment of phosphomolybdic acid (H3PMo12O40) in polypyrrole (PPy) film on multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) modified gold electrode. The electrochemical behavior and the electrocatalytic property of the modified electrode were investigated in acidic solution. Compared with the H3PMo12O40/PPy/gold electrode, the H3PMo12O40/PPy/MWNTs/gold electrode has s hown enhanced electrocatalytic property to the reduction of nitrite. Steady‐state amperometry has been applied to characterize the modified electrode as an amperometric sensor for the determination of nitrite. Effects of PPy film thickness and MWNTs concentration on the current response of the modified electrode for the detection of nitrite have been investigated and discussed. Under the optimized conditions, a linear range from 5.0×10−6 to 3.4×10−2 M has been observed for the H3PMo12O40/PPy/MWNTs/gold electrode with a sensitivity of 1214....
