Abstract

Under an aid of ultrasonic, tetraoxalyl ethylenediamine melamine resin-coated multiwalled carbon nanotubes were prepared for Ni(II) sensing in aqueous solution. The processes involved the fabrication of tetraoxalyl ethylenediamine melamine resin by one pot way, the coating of tetraoxalyl ethylenediamine melamine resin at multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), and the determination of Ni(II). The present materials were carefully examined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscope, and electrochemistry techniques. A great deal of amorphous microsphere could be observed for tetraoxalyl ethylenediamine melamine resin with an average diameter of 1.2 μm, and MTE could evenly adhere at the surface of MWCNTs by the ultrasonic. Tetraoxalyl ethylenediamine melamine resin-coated multiwalled carbon nanotube-modified paraffin-impregnated graphite electrode was successfully used for the determination of Ni(II) by differential pulse adsorptive anodic stripping voltammetry. The current responses (−0.3 V) were linearly increased depending on the concentration from 1 × 10−11 to 3 × 10−10 M (i (μA) = 11.1 + 7.9 c (1 × 10−12 M); R = 0.9901, 3σ = 7 × 10−12 M).
