The present study serves to focus attention on the modification of multiwalled carbon nanotube with 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol (5-Br-PADAP) and its application for the development of a new, simple, and selective modified electrode in order to determine Pb(II) in standard alloys and water samples. The electrochemical method was based on open circuit accumulation of lead ions onto a 5-Br-PADAP-modified multiwalled carbon nanotube electrode and then their anodic stripping voltammetric determination. The linear range for Pb(II) ions was from 0.9 to 114.6 mu g L-1. The detection limit and relative standard deviation were found to be 0.1 mu g L-1 and 1.6%, respectively. This method demonstrates the powerful application of carbon nanotubes in the field of mercury-free electrodes in voltammetric stripping analysis.
