Oxalic acid (OA) is often the main and final intermediate for the catalytic and electrochemical oxidation of many organic compounds. It can combine easily with Ca2+ and Mg2+ to form less soluble salts known as oxalates. High levels of oxalates in the diet can lead to the irritation of the digestive system and contribute to the formation of kidney stone. Thus, the detection of OA has a great significance in practice. In this study, Pd-decorated CNTs are used for the determination of OA. Pd–decorated CNTs have been prepared by diimide-activated amidation. The obtained samples are characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Furthermore, the samples show excellent electrocatalytic activity for oxalic and oxamic acid electro-oxidation than a reference catalyst. |
