The iodide ion sensitivity of a solid‐supported bilayer lipid membrane (s‐BLM) containing buckminsterfullerene(C60) as an electron mediator has been investigated using the cyclic voltammetry technique. We have shown that C60 in a lipid bilayer environment produces a unique and simple system for the detection of iodide. The sensitivity of C60‐containing s‐BLM to I − is excellent with a linear response in the range from 10 −8 to 10 −2 M. The use of fullerene C60‐doped s‐BLMs as sensors and devices for detecting other species is proposed.
