Preparation, characterization and application of carbon nanotubes wrapped nanoflake-like SnS2 composite

Abstract

A novel multiwall carbon nanotubes wrapped nanoflake-like SnS2 (MWCNTs-SnS2) composite was designed by simply mixing carbon nanotubes with nanoflake-like SnS2. The fabricated MWCNTs-SnS 2 composite material was characterized using scan electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The MWCNTs-SnS2 was used to modify glassy carbon electrode to examine the electrocatalysis of hydrogen peroxide and oxygen. Moreover, direct electrochemistry of glucose oxides immobilized on MWCNTs-SnS2 modified electrode was investigated. This MWCNTs-SnS2 composite provided a promising approach to fabricate electrochemical sensor. © the authors.
