Abstract

Silver nanoparticle decorated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Ag/MWCNT) were prepared by a simple chemical plating method. The Ag/MWCNT nanocomposite modified glassy carbon electrode (Ag/MWCNT/GC) was fabricated. Electrochemical behavior of p-nitrophenol at the Ag/MWCNT/GC was studied by cyclic voltammetry. The Ag/MWCNT/GC electrode shows good electrocatalytic activity for the reduction of p-nitrophenol. Voltammetric determination of p-nitrophenol was carried out. Under optimal experimental conditions, the reduction peak current of p-nitrophenol is linearly proportional to its concentration in a range from 3.0 × 10−6 to 1.2 × 10−4 mol L−1 in acidic medium and 3.5 × 10−5 to 1.4 × 10−4 mol L−1 in alkaline medium, respectively.
