Electrosynthesis And Electroanalytical Studies Of The Selected Dihydroxybenzene Compounds At Carbon And Poly (4–Vinylpyridine) Based Nanocomposite Electrodes

This study has utilized various carbon based electrodes viz. glassy carbon, composite graphite, carbon nanotube and graphene as substrate electrodes. Composite graphite rods were utilised in electro-organic syntheses involving catechol (CT) in the presence of thiosemicarbazide (TSC) at pH 5.3. The o...
