A novel voltammetry with a modified gold electrode for the direct determination of copper in environmental samples, without any pretreatment, is proposed in this paper. A porous disorganized monolayer was formed on the surface of the gold electrode by the self-assembly of mercaptoacetic acid (MAA), which could selectively permeate small molecules. Subtractive square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SASV) was applied to determine copper, in which the underpotential deposition (UPD) of copper was used as the deposition step. The linear range was from 8 × 10-7 to 1 × 10-5 mol l-1 by the modified electrode in the presence of human serum albumin, and the determination was not interfered with common metal ions. Copper in a real environmental sample was successfully detected.
