The design of 3D monoliths provides a promising opportunity to scale the unique properties of singular carbon nanotubes to a macroscopic level. However, the synthesis of carbon nanotube monoliths is often characterized by complex procedures and additives impairing the later macroscopic properties. Here, we present a simple and efficient synthesis protocol leading to the formation of free-standing, stable, and highly conductive 3D carbon nanotube monoliths for later application in potential-controlled adsorption in aqueous systems. We synthesized monoliths displaying high tensile strength, excellent conductivity (up to 140 S m−1), and a large specific surface area (up to 177 m2 g−1). The resulting monoliths were studied as novel electrode materials for the reversible electrosorption of maleic acid. The process principle was investigated using chronoamperometry and cyclic voltammetry in a two-electrode setup. A stable electrochemical behavior was observed, and the synthesized monoliths displayed capacitive and faradaic current responses. At moderate applied overpotentials (± 500 mV vs. open circuit potential), the monolithic electrodes showed a high loading capacity (~20 µmol g−1) and reversible potential-triggered release of the analyte. Our results demonstrate that carbon nanotube monoliths can be used as novel electrode material to control the adsorption of small organic molecules onto charged surfaces.

In this work, the effect of carbon on the electrochemical properties of multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) functionalized lithium iron manganese phosphate was studied. In an attempt to provide insight into the structural and electronic properties of optimized electrode materials, a systematic study based on a combination of structural and spectroscopic techniques was conducted. The phosphor-olivine LiFe0.5Mn0.5PO4 was synthesized via a simple microwave synthesis using LiFePO4 and LiMnPO4 as precursors. Cyclic voltammetry was used to evaluate the electrochemical parameters (electron transfer and ionic diffusivity) of the LiFe0.5Mn0.5PO4 redox couples. The redox potentials show two separate distinct redox peaks that correspond to Mn2+/Mn3+ (4.1 V vs Li/Li+) and Fe2+/Fe3+ (3.5 V vs Li/Li+) due to interaction arrangement of Fe-O-Mn in the olivine lattice. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results showed LiFe0.5Mn0.5PO4-MWCNTs have high conductivity with reduced charge resistance. This result demonstrates that MWCNTs stimulate faster electron transfer and stability for the LiFe0.5Mn0.5PO4 framework, which demonstrates to be favorable as a host material for Li+ ions.
