title: Studies on CuTAPc-nanotube-modified electrodes as chemical sensors for NO.
abstract: Poly-copper tetraaminophthalocyanine (CuTAPc) nanotubes were successfully fabricated on porous alumina templates by electropolymerization. Their high surface area and simple preparation protocol made them potential candidates as the modification layer of electrodes for sensor application. High sensitivities and improved linear ranges were obtained through different measurements such as differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), differential potential amperometric (DPA) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Detection limits as low as 10 nM were demonstrated in common voltammetric analysis with ultra-high response current in the microA range.
