Popis: The preparation of a glassy carbon electrode modified by CeO2 nanoparticles was described, which was characterized by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. In pH 6.0 buffer, the CeO2 nanoparticle modified electrode (CeO2 NP/GC) gave an excellent electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of uric acid (UA). The catalytic current of UA versus its concentration had a good linear relation in the range of 2.0×10−7−5.0×10−4 mol/L, with the correlation coefficient of 0.9986 and detection limit of 1.0×10−7 mol/L. The modified electrode can be used for the determination of UA in urine, which can tolerate the interference of ascorbic acid up to 1000-fold. The method was simple, quick and sensitive.
