Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) can be etched at potentials more positive than 1.7 V versus Ag / AgCl (3 M KCl ) in 0.2 M HNO 3. The electrochemically etched MWNTs show an increase in electrochemical impedance and sluggish electron transfer kinetics, and lose the electrocatalytic effects toward the oxidation of glucose, H 2 O 2, uric acid (UA) and L-ascorbic acid (L-AA). Transmission electron microscope (TEM) images reveal that the nanotube tips are cut off by electrochemical oxidation. This may lead to the degradation of electrocatalytic ability in the MWNTs. Furthermore, the current response after different electrochemically etched cycles shows that the electrocatalytic ability of the MWNTs toward different molecules can be tuned by etched cycles. For example, five etched cycles leads to the total disappearance of the oxidative response to L-AA, with the remaining over 50% of the UA current response in the L-AA and UA mixture. Thus, electrochemical etching is a simple yet novel way to tune the electrocatalytic reactivity and improve the selectivity of the MWNTs.

In this work we report on electrochemical behavior of nickel phthalocyanine derivatives tetrasubstituted peripherally and non-peripherally with hydroxy and used to modify single walled carbon nanotubes. Nickel phthalocyanine complex octasubstituted at the peripheral positions with hydroxy groups was also used to modify single walled carbon nanotubes. Nickel phthalocyanine complex tetrasubstituted with amino groups at peripheral position was covalently and non-covalently linked to single walled carbon nanotubes. All the conjugates of nickel phthalocyanine derivatives with single walled carbon nanotubes were used for the electro oxidation of 4-chlorophenol. The nickel phthalocyanine octabsubstituted with hydroxy groups at the non-peripheral positions gave the best current response and the best resistance against electrode fouling for the oxidation of 4-chlorophenol.
