Electrocatalytic Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide at Carboxylic Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes Intercalated Pt Micro-electrode Chen Changlun 1,2, He Jianbo 1*, Liu Jinhuai 2 (1 School of Chemical Engineering, Hefei University of Technology, Hefei 230009) (2 Hefei Institute of Intelligent Machines, The Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hefei 230031) Abstract With 0.5mol/L HClO4 as supporting electrolyte solution, the carboxylic multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) intercalated Pt disk micro-electrode exhibited high stability and strong catalytic effect toward the electrochemical oxidation of carbon monoxide(CO). Through the determination of carbon monoxide by cyclic voltammetry, the overpotential decreased 150～200mV and oxidation current of carbon monoxide increased about 2.1 times on multi-wall carbon nanotubes power Pt disk micro-electrode than on a bare Pt disk micro-electrode. The current response was linearly dependent on CO concentration over the range 0.72～52mg/mL at about +700mV relative to Ag/AgCl reference electrode, and linear equation is y = 0.00624x + 0.2299(mA) with a correlation coefficient of 0.9957. Detection limit was 0.60mg/mL and the relative standard deviation was 4.8% (n = 5) at room temperature.
