An ascorbic acid (AA) electrochemical sensor was fabricated by ferrocene methanol (FcÀ OH) modified multi-walled carbon nanotube yarn (CNTY). The prepared sensor (FcÀ OH/CNTY) exhibited outstanding flexibility, highly stretchability, excellent bendability and obviously electrocatalytic activity for oxidation of ascorbic acid. The morphology of FcÀ OH/CNTY was evaluated by scanning electron microscope. The electrochemical behaviour of FcÀ OH/CNTY sensor was studied by cyclic voltammetry and amperometry measurements. Moreover, the influence of FcÀ OH concentration, applied potential and electrolyte solution pH were also investigated to obtain the best sensor performance. The prepared sensor exhibited a wide linear range from 3 μM to 3.0 mM toward AA, and a detection limit of 1.32 μM (S/N = 3). It also possessed a good lifetime and a fast response speed (2.83 s). In addition, the FcÀ OH/CNTY sensor remained 90 % and 60 % of its initial activity after 100 and 500 times bending, respectively, which indicated a potential application on flexible, implantable and/or wearable electrochemical sensors.
