Abstract: Polyaniline nanofiber(Nano-PANI) modified graphite foil(GF)(Nano-PANI/GF) was prepared by electrochemical polymerization of aniline on GF electrode. The polymer on the modified electrode Nano-PANI/GF was characterized by FTIR. The morphologies of the modified electrode were investigated by SEM. The Nano-PANI/GF electrode made through cyclic voltammetric scans in a solution of 0.1 mol/L aniline and 1.0 mol/L HCl showed good electroactivites in 0.1 mol/L phosphate buffer solution(pH=6.9). The electrocatalytic properties of the modified electrode toward ascorbic acid oxidation were studied through cyclic voltammetry and potentiometry. The current for ascorbic acid oxidation on the modified electrode at 0.2 V showed linear response to the concentration of ascorbic acid in the range of 1.7-2.0×103 μmol/L. The detection limit of ascorbic acid on the modified electrode is 1.7 μmol/L(S/N=3).
