We have developed a method for in-situ construction of a porous network-like silver film on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). It is based on a galvanic replacement reaction where a layer of copper nanoparticles is first electrodeposited as a sacrificial template. The silver film formed possesses a porous network-like structure and consists of an assembly of numerous nanoparticles with an average size of 200 nm. The electrode displays excellent electrocatalytic activity, good stability, and fast response (within 2 s) toward the reduction of nitrate at a working potential of -0.9 V. The catalytic currents linearly increase with the nitrate concentrations in the range of 0.08-6.52 mM, with a detection limit of 3.5 mu M (S/N = 3) and a repeatability of 3.4 % (n = 5).
