Carbon nanotubes - material for carbon paste electrodes, possibilities of preparation and characterization

Abstract

In this article, some new approaches to characterize the carbon paste mixtures and the respective carbon nanotube paste electrodes (CNTPEs) are presented, discussed. Particular attention has been paid to the changes of the ohmic resistance, relative to the dependence on composition of the CNTPE, the materials used, the time. Four types of carbon nanotube pastes were examined, and for the interpretation of experimental data. Some problems connected with homogeneity and stability of carbon pastes, their storage, or eventual aging effects are also discussed
