Mesoporous SiO 2 of SBA-15 is reported to modify carbon paste electrodes for detecting epinephrine (EP). Carbon paste electrodes modified with synthesized SBA-15 show high sensitivity for voltammetric determination of EP, which is attributed to the strong adsorption ability of SBA-15 to EP and large surface area of the working electrode resulted from SBA-15 modification. The effects of pH value, amount of SBA-15 and scan rate were investigated. Under optimum conditions, the anodic peak current of EP was proportional to its concentration over the range from 1.0 × 10 −6 to 6.0 × 10 −5 mol L −1 and the limit of detection was 6.0 × 10 −7 mol L −1. The results show mesoporous SiO 2-modified carbon paste electrodes, particularly SBA-15-modificd electrodes, create new opportunities for sensitive, simple and suitable method in the electrochemical analysis of EP.
