An electrochemical method based on a Linde Type-A zeolite-modified glass carbon electrode (LTA/GCE) was introduced for the determination of retinoic acid (RA). LTA zeolite could be synthesized through a hydrothermal method and served as a commercial electrochemical sensor with high stability and sensitivity in electrochemical progress. The as-synthesized product was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Under optimal conditions, a detection limit of 0.8 μM was obtained for RA with a linear range of 0.8-20.1 μM. This electrochemical method for determining RA was simpler and cheaper than previously reported methods. Furthermore, the modified electrode could be applied to the detection of RA in tap water, achieving a linear range of 1.4-15.0 μM with a detection limit of 1.4 μM and good recovery. The modified electrode designed by this method provided good selectivity, stability, and reproducibility for RA determination and reliable application for the analysis of RA in environmental water.
