Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as an excellent supporter covered with a thick layer of cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) were prepared by in-situ synthesis. Platinum particles were adopted to enhance the conductivity of CoPc-MWCNTs. The final nanocomposite Pt-CoPc-MWCNTs was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Strong aromatic π-π stacking between MWCNTs and CoPc made CoPc in-situ forming on MWCNTs. With homogeneous thickness of CoPc covered on the MWCNTs and Pt particles equally distributed, the nanocomposite was used as electrocatalyst. The electrochemical properties of the composite got researched by casting the dispersion of Pt-CoPc-MWCNTs on the glassy carbon electrode. Compared with other modified electrodes, Pt-CoPc-MWCNTs/GC electrode exhibited excellent electrochemical activity towards dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA). Linear responses for DA and UA were obtained in the ranges of 5 to 170 μM and 5 to 100 μM, and limits of detection were 2.6 and 1.4 μM (S/N= 3), respectively. Simultaneous detection of DA and UA in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA) also displayed selective property, with no interference to each other.

A modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) compositing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), Nafion and bismuth film was prepared and applied for the sensitive detection of trace Pb (II). MWCNTs were dispersed into ethanol by ultrasonication in the presence of Nafion and the nanotubes are coated onto the bare GCE. After that, an extra Nafion adhesion agent is added to the electrode. By the in situ plating, a bismuth film was fabricated on the MWCNTs-NA/GCE, making the desired electrode, MWCNTs-NA-Bi/GCE. The modified electrode was characterized by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry, scanning electron microscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. A deposition potential of –1.4 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) and a deposition time of 300 s were applied to the working electrode under stirred conditions after optimizing. Nanotubes and Nafion concentrations and pH were carefully optimized to determine trace lead ions by using the electrode as an electrochemical-sensing platform. Nafion effectively increased the stability and adhesivity of the composite film. The MWCNTs-NA-Bi film modified electrode can remarkably increase the anodic peak current of Pb2+. The sensitivity of MWCNTs-NA-Bi/GCE is 4.35 times higher than that of the bare GCE with bismuth film. The prepared electrode showed excellent stability and reproducibility and can be applied for determination of Pb2+ contained wastewater.

Carbon nanomaterials (CNMs), especially carbon nanotubes and graphene, have been attracting tremendous attention in environmental analysis for rapid and cost effective detection of various analytes by electrochemical sensing. CNMs can increase the electrode effective area, enhance the electron transfer rate between the electrode and analytes, and/or act as catalysts to increase the efficiency of electrochemical reaction, detection, adsorption and removal are of great significance. Various carbon nanomaterials including carbon nanotubes, graphene, mesoporous carbon, carbon dots exhibited high adsorption and detection capacity. Carbon and its derivatives possess excellent electro catalytic properties for the modified sensors, electrochemical methods usually based on anodic stripping voltammetry at some modified carbon electrodes. Metal electrode detection sensitivity is enhanced through surface modification of working electrode (GCE). Heavy metals have the defined redox potential. A remarkable deal of efficiency with the electrochemical sensors can be succeeded by layering the surface of the working electrode with film of active electro-catalytic species. Usually, electro catalysts used for fabrication of sensors are surfactants, nano-materials, polymers, carbon-based materials, organic ligands and biomaterials.
