electrocatalysis of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in
aqueous base (0.1 M KOH) by multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)
is studied at the single entity level. Electroactive surface functionality
is shown to facilitate significant electrocatalysis leading to peroxide
formation which is seen to occur at lower potentials as compared to
the voltammetric responses obtained at bare carbon macroelectrodes
and at such electrodes modified with layers of carbon nanotubes.
