Abstract A paste electrochemical sensor, based on a carbon paste electrode modified with different oxides, has been developed for investigation of 2,4‐dimethylphenol (2,4 DMP) oxidation in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) with pH of 7. In this study, Fe 2 O 3 , Al 2 O 3 , ZrO 2 and SiO 2 have been tested. Among these oxides, Al 2 O 3 showed the best electrocatalysis on oxidation of 2,4 DMP at ratio of graphite powder/Al 2 O 3 /paraffin oil = 71/4/25. The high sensibility of Al 2 O 3 for 2,4 DMP detection can be explained by the interaction between benzene rings of phenol and acid sites of Al 2 O 3 . From this result it opens a high potential application of sensors based on the electro acidic catalysts.
