Comparison of different carbon nanostructures influence on potentiometric performance of carbon paste electrode

Abstract

Recently, different carbon nanomaterials were introduced for construction of electrochemical sensors. In this study, the influence of carbon nanomaterial on performance of carbon paste potentiometric electrode was investigated. In this manner, different kinds of carbon nanomaterial, i.e., graphene, graphene oxide and carbon nanotube (CNT) were used as a conduction phase in carbon paste electrode. Then, potentiometric characteristics of the corresponding paste electrodes such as calibration slope, linear range, detection limit, response time and stability were compared with each other. The results appeared comprehensive findings about the role of electrode’s content in electrochemical performance.
