We describe a simple, rapid and selective voltammetry for simultaneous determination of electroactive isomers using nanometer composite electrode. The electrode was constructed by electropolymerization of 4-aminopyridine at single-wall carbon nanotubes modified glassy carbon electrode (SWNTs/POAPE). The configuration and electrochemical properties of SWNTs/POAPE were characterized by scanning electronic micrographs (SEM) and voltammetry. The SWNTs/POAPE showed an excellent electrocatalytic activity to the oxidation of aminophenol isomers and capability of determining three aminophenol isomers simultaneously. The oxidation peak potential difference between m-aminophenol and o-aminophenol was 416 mV. o-aminophenol and p-aminophenol 119 mV, indicating that the o-, m- and p-aminophenol could be identified entirely at the SWNTs/POAPE. The proposed electrode has been applied to the simultaneous voltammetric determination of aminophenol isomers in mixture without previous chemical or physical separations. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
