Fits like a glove : Separationless and selective electrochemical oxidation of the α‐naphthol (α‐NAP) isomer yields naphthoquinone species on the surface of multiwalled carbon nanotubes, which can further catalyze the electro‐oxidation of NADH and hydrazine at different potentials. The β‐NAP isomer failed to show any such electro‐oxidation.
