Abstract

In this work, an easy and effective method to synthesize alizarin red S/multi-walled carbon nanotube (ARS/MWCNT) nanocomposites based on the π–π stacking non-covalent interactions between ARS and MWCNTs was introduced. The characters of ARS/MWCNT nanocomposites were investigated by Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy, UV–Vis spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, and electrochemical techniques. ARS tightly coating on MWCNTs surface makes the nanocomposites good dispersibility in water and excellent electrochemical activity. Because of the combination of the excellent electroactivity of ARS and the unique properties of MWCNTs, ARS/MWCNT nanocomposites-modified glassy carbon electrode exhibits a good response to the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and takes on a promising prospect of the practical application in electrochemical sensors field.
