Electrochemical fabrication of conducting polymer/multiwalled carbon nanotube composite films for electrocatalytic oxidation in fuel cell

Recent studies have shown that carbon nanotubes can be dissolved in conductive polymers via formation of donor– acceptor complex. In this work, we have prepared Poly o-aminophenol/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (POAP/ MWNT) composite by electropolymerisation of aminophenol containing well-dissolved MWNTs. NiO particles were electrodeposited on the composite films subsequently. The primary focus of these studies is to compare the glucose oxidation activity on the Ni/ MWNT/POAP and Ni/POAP electrode.
