The effect of various deposition techniques, electrode materials and posttreatment with tetrabutylammonium and tetrabutylphosphonium salts on the electrochemical behavior and stability of various Prussian blue (PB) modified electrodes, namely PB modified glassy carbon electrodes, silicate‐film supported PB modified glassy carbon electrodes, PB‐doped silicate glassy carbon electrodes, PB modified carbon ceramic electrodes using electrochemical deposition and PB modified carbon ceramic electrodes using chemical deposition is reported. Cyclic voltammetry and amperometric measurements of hydrogen peroxide were performed in a flow injection system while the carrier phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) with a flow rate of 0.8 mL min −1 was propelled into the electrochemical flow through cell housing the PB modified working electrode as well as an Ag|AgCl|0.1 M KCl reference and a Pt auxiliary electrode. The results showed that the deposition procedure, electrode material and posttreatment with additional chemicals can significantly alter the stability and electrochemical behavior of the PB film. Among the studied PB modified electrodes, those based on carbon ceramic electrodes modified with a film of electropolymerized PB showed the best electrochemical stability.
