A good route for the fabrication of CeO 2 nanoparticles (nano‐CeO 2 )/multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) modified glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) was proposed. MWCNTs are used to immobilize nano‐CeO 2 . What′s more, with the addition of the MWCNTs, the agglomeration level of CeO 2 nanoparticles can be reduced, the extremely large surface area can be obtained and the electron transfer rate can be increased. The morphological characterization of nano‐CeO 2 /MWCNTs was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The performances of the nano‐CeO 2 /MWCNTs/GCE were characterized with cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and typical amperometric response ( i ‐ t ). The potential utility of the constructed electrodes was demonstrated by applying them to the analytical determination of puerarin concentration. The catalytic oxidation of puerarin has a better result on nano‐CeO 2 /MWCNTs/GCE because of the synergistic effect of nano‐CeO 2 and MWCNTs. An optimized limit of detection of 8.0×10 −9 mol/L was obtained at a signal‐to‐noise ratio of 3 and with a fast response time (within 3 s). Additionally, the nano‐CeO 2 /MWCNTs/GCE exhibited a wide linear range from 0.04 to 6.0 μmol/L and high sensitivity.
