Abstract

Use of TiO₂ modified-zeolite to obtain a multiwalled carbon nanotubes based composite electrode is presented in this study. The zeolite-modified TiO₂ material was synthesized by solid-solid method and characterized by specific structural (XRD, DRUV-VIS) and morphological (SEM/EDX) methods. SEM image of composite electrode revealed a relative uniform distribution and orientation of the multiwalled carbon nanotubes and TiO₂ modified-zeolite particles in epoxy matrix. The electroactive area of the composite electrode was determined using classical ferrocyanide method.
