Surface of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) supported gold (Au) nanoparticles was prepared by spontaneous reduction of HAuCl 4 aqueous solution, and as-prepared Au-CNTs/C electrodes show high electrocatalytic performance for CAT. The electrochemical behaviors of Au-CNTs/C elecrodes were investigatated by cyclic votammetry. It was obtained a well-shaped redox reactin at Au-CNTs/C elecrodes, and oxidation peak of catechol was obviously observed at 0.25V. Additional, linear relationship was obtained between I pa and concentration of catechol in the range o...
