Identifying quinone-like species on the surface of graphitic carbon and multi-walled carbon nanotubes using reactions with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine to provide a voltammetric fingerprint

Quinone groups on the surface of edge-plane and basal-plane pyrolytic graphite electrodes, and, for the first time, "bamboo-like" multi-walled carbon nanotubes (b-MWCNTs), are labelled with a voltammetric "tag", namely 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNPH). The voltammetric respo...
