Voltammetric studies have been carried out using a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (IL). Studies on the electrochemical properties of GCEs modified with MWCNTs and IL within different polymeric

Nanostructured lanthanum was electrochemically prepared on a platinum (Pt) substrate in the room temperature ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide (BMI-DCA) containing anhydrous LaCl3 at 333 K. The electrochemical reduction behavior of La(iii) was investigated using cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry techniques. Cyclic
