  • Surface modification with phosphomolybdic acid.
  • Hot stretching procedure to control CNT alignment within the fiber.

    • Main Results:

    • CNTFMs exhibit distinct electrochemical behavior compared to other CNT-based electrodes.
    • The active CNT surface of CNTFMs is readily regenerated.
    • Surface modification with phosphomolybdic acid showed improved adsorption, particularly with controlled CNT orientation.
    • Hot stretching significantly enhanced CNT alignment within the fiber.

    Conclusions:

    • CNTFMs represent a promising class of microelectrodes due to their pure CNT composition and regenerable surface.
    • Controlled CNT alignment, achievable through hot stretching, is crucial for enhancing catalytic molecule adsorption.
    • These findings suggest potential for advanced electrochemical sensing and catalysis using tailored CNTFMs.
