Er, sonicated in acetone for 30 min, and then washed with deionized bonding, isopropyl alcohol just before the Cu oxidation; therefore, acetic acid For CNT u water and it was critical to minimizeelectrochemical hemical reaction. treatment was employed. The essential to minimize Cu oxidation; for that reason, acetic acid treatment bonding, it was 4-aminophenyl diazonium cations generated in situ by the reaction of pphenylenediamine and NaNO2 in an acidic medium had been utilized because the precursor, which was employed. The 4-aminophenyl diazonium cations generated in situ by the reaction had been recognized to lower and NaNO reactive radical capable of bonding to metal surfaces of p-phenylenediamine to a highly 2 in an acidic medium had been utilised because the precursor, (Figure 2A) [591]. For CNT-Pt a highly reactive radical was electrochemically metal which were recognized to lower to bonding, ethylenediaminecapable of bonding to grafted on the (Figure 2A) acetonitrile CNT-Pt bonding, Sulfinpyrazone custom synthesis ethylenediamine by electrochemically surfacesPt surface in [591]. For as a solvent comparable to that reportedwas Segut et al. (Figure 2B) [62]. Herlem et al. has acetonitrile as a solvent related to that reported by Segut et al. grafted around the Pt surface inused a related electrochemical grafting reaction to modify metal electrodes [62]. Herlem et al. has employed Cyclic voltammetry at a grafting reaction s-1 (Figure 2B) with ethylenediamine [63,64]. a comparable electrochemicalscan rate of 50 mVto was utilized to electrodes with ethylenediamine [63,64]. Cyclic voltammetry at a scan rate modify metal identify the oxidative grafting of ethylenediamine on a Pt sheet electrode in acetonitrile was utilized to determine the oxidative grafting of ethylenediamine on a Pt sheet of 50 mV s-1with an Ag pseudo-reference electrode (Figure S1).electrode in acetonitrile with an Ag pseudo-reference electrode (Figure S1).Figure two.
