Emperor 2000 carbon nanoparticles are functionalised by a terminating sulfonate group which bares a negative charge. Work has previously been done using a binder mixture of chitosan with these carbon nanoparticles to create a stable film with good conductivity and more useful terminating amine groups.^1,2

Scheme 1. Functionalisation of the positively charged carbon nanoparticles by a two step synthesis.

This work presents an alternative to the use of binders in which the carbon nanoparticles were directly re-functionalised by a two step synthesis shown in Scheme 1. This has lead to the creation of stable films showing a terminating amine group which can be evaporated onto electrodes and used to strongly bind negatively charged species such as indigo carmine without the need for binding agents.
