title: Selective electrochemical recognition of the α-naphthol isomer and in situ immobilization of naphthoquinones for tunable electrocatalysis.
abstract: Fits like a glove: Separationless and selective electrochemical oxidation of the α-naphthol (α-NAP) isomer yields naphthoquinone species on the surface of multiwalled carbon nanotubes, which can further catalyze the electro-oxidation of NADH and hydrazine at different potentials. The β-NAP isomer failed to show any such electro-oxidation.
