Small molecules as cross-linkers: fabrication of carbon nanotubes/thionine self-assembled multilayers on amino functionalized surfaces.

Electroactive and photoactive thionine molecules have been selected as cross-linkers to construct self-assembled multilayers containing carbon nanotubes (CNTs)via the alternate layer deposition technique. The resulting multilayer system can electrocatalyze the oxidation of NADH and offer potential applications in other fields such as biosenors and photovoltaic devices.
