Electrochemical Behaviors of Double-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Encapsulating Ferrocene

Electrochemical properties of a novel nanohybrid material, ferrocene-filled double-walled carbon nanotubes (Fc@DWNTs), have been successfully investigated for the first time by preparing different kinds of Fc@DWNTs modified glassy carbon electrodes. One pair of surface-confined redox waves corresponding to the couple of Fc/Fc+ is obtained, indicating Fc encapsulated in DWNTs retains electrochemical activity. Significantly differing from those of...
