Electrochemically active composite film that contains multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), Nafion (NF), and poly(malachite green) (PMG) has been synthesized on glassy carbon electrode (GCE), gold, and indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes by potentiodynamic method. The presence of MWCNTs in the composite film (MWCNT–NF–PMG) enhances the surface coverage concentration ( Γ) of PMG by fivefold. Similarly, an electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance study revealed enhancement in the deposition of PMG at MWCNT–NF film when compared with bare and only NF modified electrodes. The surface morphology of the composite film was studied using atomic force microscopy, which revealed that the PMG incorporated on MWCNT–NF film. The composite film exhibited enhanced electrocatalytic activity toward the mixture of biochemical compounds catechol and quinol. The electrocatalytic responses of analytes at MWCNT–NF–PMG composite film were measured using both cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). From electrocatalysis studies, well-separated voltammetric peaks were obtained at the composite film for catechol and quinol with a peak separation of 147 mV. The sensitivity values of the composite film toward catechol and quinol by the DPV technique were 0.4 and 3.2 mA mM 611 cm 612, respectively, which are higher than the values obtained by the CV technique. Similarly, the above-mentioned values are better than the previously reported electroanalytical values for the same analytes.
