An integrated system for photo-accumulation (photoreduction) and sensing, based on a Zr/ZrO2 electrode, has been developed for the detection of trace heavy metals. The nanostructuring of the Zr/ZrO2 electrode was achieved by anodizing, which produced a nanotubular structure. Solutions containing Cd(II), Pb(II), Cu(II) and Hg(II) were used for analysis. Linear calibration plots were obtained in the concentration ranges from 8 x 10(-8) to 10(-5) M for Pb(II), 5 x 10(-8) to 2 x 10(-6) M for Cu(II) and 4 x 10(-8) to 10(-5) M for Hg(II).
