Voltammetric and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic fingerprinting of carboxylic acid groups on the surface of carbon nanotubes via derivatisation with arylnitro labels

4-Nitrophenol (4-NP)or 4-nitrobenzyl alcohol (4-NBA) are used as voltammetric and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS) labels for carboxylic acid groups on the surface of single-walled carbon nanotubes, bamboo-like" and hollow-tube" multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The surface carboxyl gr...
