Abstract

In this study, we explore the pathways of nicotine degradation (NICs) using a glassy carbon (GC) electrode modified through cyclic voltammetry (CV). The surface of the GC electrode was enhanced with electrospinning and hybrid nanofibers techniques. These hybrid nanofibers were composed of carboxylated carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-COOH) dispersed within a polymer matrix and chitosan (CS), resulting in a unique morphology and a large surface area. The electrochemical behavior of NIC was examined with the GC-CS/MWCNT-COOH electrode. When utilizing the CS/MWCNT-COOH electrode, the NIC process, which is governed by 2 protons and 2 electrons, demonstrated an irreversible reduction in the presence of oxygen and nitrogen gases.
