Electron transfer kinetics at single-walled carbon nanotube paper: The role of band structure

► The role of band structure of individual single-walled carbon nanotube in electrochemical activity of nanotube ensemble was examined. ► Chiral vectors of individual nanotubes in the ensemble were assigned on the base of Raman breathing mode positions. ► Electron transfer rates of individual tubules from the ensemble show similar kinetics. ► It was shown that electronic states away from the Fermi level contribute to the electron transfer process.
