The hcp-nano Ni/CG electrode had an improve response and specificity on the electrocatalytic oxidation of glycerol over the bare CG. The electrocatalysis was the result of the formation of NiOOH during the oxidation process. The process was influenced by scan rate and concentration of glycerol. A linear relationship of concentration with current was obtained over concentration range of 0.5 – 12.0 mM glycerol with limit of detection (S/N = 3) at 0.033 mM glycerol. The hcp nano Ni modified CG electrode was applied for direct determination of free glycerol in biodiesel samples. As a glycerol sensor the hcp nano Ni modified CG is quite stable.  }, number={3}, journal={International Journal of Nano Dimension (Int. J. Nano Dimens.)}, publisher={OICC Press}, author={Tehrani, R.
