The relationship between the state of the surface of carbon nanotubes (CNT) and their electrochemical activity was investigated using the enzyme cofactor dihydronicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) as a redox probe. The boiling of CNT in water, while nondestructive, activated them toward the oxidation of NADH as indicated by a shift in the anodic peak potential of NADH (ENADH) from 0.4 to 0.0 V. The shift in ENADH was due to the redox mediation of NADH oxidation by traces of quinone species that were formed on the surface of treated CNT. The harsher treatment that comprised of microwaving of CNT in concentrated nitric acid had a similar effect on the ENADH and, additionally, it increased the anodic peak current of NADH. The latter correlated with the formation of defects on the surface of acid-microwaved CNT as indicated by their Raman spectra. The increase in current was discussed considering a role of surface mediators on the buckled graphene sheets of acid-microwaved CNT. The other carbon allotropes including the edge plane pyrolytic graphite, graphite powder, and glassy carbon did not display a comparable activation toward the oxidation of NADH.
