This article is published with open access at Abstract Large-scale bunch-like bismuth Bi nanostructures were the first time to be synthesized via two-step electrochemical deposition. The growth mechanism of the nanostructures was discussed. Such a designed bunch-like Bi electrode has high sensitivity to detect the heavy metal ions due to its unique three-dimensional structures and strong ability of adsorbing the heavy metal ions. The bunch-like Bi electrode s detection of heavy metals was statically performed using anodic stripping voltammetry ASV . The detection in the Pb II concentration range of j-ig l was also performed. Based on the experimental results this bunch-like Bi electrode can be considered as an interesting alternative to common mercury electrodes and bismuth film electrodes for possible use in electrochemical studies and electroanalytical applications. Keywords Bismuth Nanostructure Electrochemical deposition Introduction Mercury electrode has gained wide acceptance for the electrochemical stripping analysis of heavy metal. However the toxicity of mercury and its difficulties in handling storage and disposal may severely restrict its use as an electrode material 1-5 . Recently a bismuth electrode as a favorable replacement for a mercury electrode has been introduced because of behavior similar to the mercury Z. Zhang K. Yu H D. Bai Z.
