The high-quality CTAB-stabilized gold nanorods (Au NRs) were prepared by the way of seed-mediated protocol. The microstructure and composition of the Au NRs were identified by transmission electron microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and UV-visible spectroscopy. Further, a novel non-enzymatic electrochemical sensor of nitrite based on Au NRs-Nafion-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was successfully developed. Under the optimum experimental conditions, the electrochemical behaviors of nitrite on the Au NRs-Nafion-modified GCE were systematically studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The electrochemical investigations indicated that the Au NRs-Nafion-modified GCE had a wide linear range of 3.0 x 10(-6)-6.0 x 10(-3) mol L-1, an acceptable sensitivity of 130.9 +/- 0.05 mu A mM(-1) cm(-2), a fast response time of 3 s and a low detection limit of 0.64 +/- 0.02 mu mol L-1 at the signal-to-noise ratio of 3 (S/N = 3). Additionally, the electrochemical sensor also showed good stability and favorable anti-interference capability for the detection of nitrite.
