A thin film of manganese hexacyanoferrate (MnHCF) was electrochemically formed on a glassy carbon (GC) electrode to prepare a chemically modified electrode (CME). The mechanism of film formation of MnHCF and its growth process were investigated in detail by cyclic voltammetry. The results show that the stoichiometric composition of MnHCF is Mn III Fe III (CN) 6 , an analogue of prussian yellow. There exist three clear-cut stages in the whole modification process and the last stage is indispensable to the fabrication of homogenized, stable MnHCF film and must last for an appropriate time. The surface morphology of MnHCF/GC electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which further verified the effective deposition of MnHCF film on GC. The kinetic constants of MnHCF/GC electrode process were also evaluated. The resulting MnHCF film modified electrode presented good stability and high electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of H 2 O 2 , indicating that MnHCF film possesses function of catalase and can be expected for analytical purposes.
