Rice starch (RS-)based nano/mesoporous carbon (RSNMC) was prepared via a hard-templating route using cheap rice starch as a carbon source. XRD and TEM characterization indicated the formation of organized nanoporous RSNMC. Nitrogen absorption-desorption studies revealed a high surface area of up to 488 m²∙g-1, uniform pore size of 3.92 nm, and pore volume of 1.14 cm³∙g-1. A RSNMC-modified glass...

the electrochemistry of banana tissues on a carbon paste electrode modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) is presented. cyclic voltammetry is applied to investigate the direct electrochemistry of banana tissues i.e. a source of polyphenol oxidase (ppo). a redox couple with an anodic and counterpart cathodic peak is obtained. the influence of various parameters such as ph, scan rat...
