Abstract

The novel modified electrode was fabricated by electropolymerizing alizarin red onto the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes on glassy carbon electrode surface, which exhibited good electrocatalytic activity for folic acid. The experimental results showed that the reduction peak current of folic acid at -0.63 V was linear to its concentration over the range of 1.25×10^-6 ~ 4.00×10^-5 mol·L^-1 in the optimized experimental conditions (R = 0.9985). Test for recovery was carried out by standard addition method, and the recovery ratios were in the range of 92.0% ~ 102.0%. The modified electrode was prepared simply with excellent stability, which provides a new feasible method for determination of folic acid.
