Abstract

According to the good conductivity and electrocatalytic activity of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and the hydrogel properties of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), MWCNTs and PVA double-network porous hydrogels were designed. MWCNTs/ PVA conductive hydrogels were prepared by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) and freeze-thaw cyclic crosslinking process. The electrochemical performance and microstructure of MWCNTs/PVA electrode film showed that MWCNTs/PVA hydrogel electrode film has a highly hydrophilic porous conducting hydrogel network structure. Although MWCNTs/PVA hydrogel electrode film has no obvious catalytic activity on glucose in PBS solution. However, it has obvious catalytic activity on dopamine and ascorbic acid.
