Abstract

Putting insulating polymers into a highly conductive single-walled carbon nanotube paper leads to excellent electrochemical performance; fast redox reactions and high signal to background noise ratio. The ability of such composites to serve as superior electrochemical platforms was investigated by using DC and AC cyclic voltammetry. The electrochemical platforms show benefits in sensing applications with fast signal generation and low limits of detection.
