In this study, we report a facile electrochemical method to obtain polyaniline/single-wall carbon nanotubes (PANI/SWCNTs) composite electrodes by combining the electroreduction of diazonium salts and electropolymerization of conductive polymers. In a first step, the SWCNTs are covalently functionalized with diphenyl amine through the electrochemical reduction of the 4-aminodiphenylamine diazonium salt in order to provide anchors for the subsequent polymer electrodepostion. The aniline oxidation remains possible on this grafted layer and PANI can easily be deposited on the diphenyl amine-modified electrodes. The electrochemically deposited PANI/SWCNTs composites exhibit excellent electrochemical charge storage properties making them promising electrode materials for high power supercapacitors.

This paper reports the strategy of electrochemically reductive adsorption of aryldiazonium salts on electrodes for designing stable sensing interface. The diazonium salt chemistry can serve as an alternative system to alkanethiol-gold chemistry for the modification of electrode surfaces for biosensor applications.

Experiments concerning the reduction of diazonium ion to radical species realized on glassy carbon and platinum electrodes allowed p-nitrophenyl grafting on the electrode surfaces electrochemically and by immersion. The grafting has been tested electrochemically in order to find the degree of surface coverage by i) cycling voltammetry of the grafted electrode in CH3CN containing 0.1 mol L-1 TBABF4 in the field of potential characteristic for the activity of the nitro groups reduction and/or by ii) cycling the grafted electrode in a transfer solution containing ferrocene in 0.1 M TBABF4 , CH3CN.

The immobilization of redox proteins on electrode surfaces has been crucial for understanding the fundamentals of electron transfer in biological systems and has led to the development of biosensors and other bioelectronic devices. Novel materials, such as carbon nanotubes, gold and other metallic nanoparticles, carbon nanofibre and mesoporous materials have been widely used in the construction of these bioelectrodes, and have been shown to greatly improve the efficiency of electron transfer between the electrode and the redox centre of the protein. The use of these materials has spawned a diversity of covalent and non-covalent techniques for protein immobilization that offer different advantages and disadvantages to the performance of the bioelectrode. This review covers the important properties of these novel electrode materials relevant to the bioconjugation of proteins, and discusses the various methods of attachment from recent examples in the literature.
