    Abstract:
    A carbon-paste electrode modified with multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was used for the sensitive and selective voltammetric determination of ascorbic acid (AA) in the presence of 3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid (3,4-DHCA) as mediator. The mediated oxidation of AA at the modified electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperommetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Also, the values of catalytic rate constant (k), and diffusion coefficient (D) for AA were calculated. Using square wave voltammetry (SWV), a highly selective and simultaneous determination of AA, acetaminophen (AC) and tryptophan (Trp) has been explored at the modified electrode. The modified electrode displayed strong function for resolving the overlapping voltammetric responses of AA, AC and Trp into three well-defined voltammetric peaks. In the mixture containing AA, AC and Trp, the three compounds can well separate from each other with potential differences of 200, 330 and 530 mV between AA and AC, AC and Trp and AA and Trp, respectively, which was large enough to determine AA, AC and Trp individually and simultaneously.
