Abstract

We describe nanostructured electrode platforms composed of multiwalled carbon nanotube/glassy carbon electrodes (MWCNT/GCEs) with entrapped nitroaromatic compounds such as 2-nitrofluorene (2-NF), 2-nitro-9-fluorenone (2-NFN), 2,7-dinitrofluorene (2,7-NF) and 2,7-dinitro-9-fluorenone (2,7-NFN). All of the above nitroaromatic compounds were tested as precursors for the production of redox mediator couples useful for NADH electrocatalysis.
