A simple, sensitive and time-saving differential-pulse adsorptive stripping voltammetric (DPAdSV) procedure using a screen-printed carbon electrode modified with carboxyl functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (SPCE/MWCNTs-COOH) for the determination of diclofenac (DF) is presented. The sensor was characterized using optical profilometry, SEM, and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The use of carboxyl functionalized MWCNTs as a SPCE modifier improved the electron transfer process and the active surface area of sensor. Under optimum conditions, very sensitive results were obtained with a linear range of 0.1–10.0 nmol L−1 and a limit of detection value of 0.028 nmol L−1. The SPCE/MWCNTs-COOH also exhibited satisfactory repeatability, reproducibility, and selectivity towards potential interferences. Moreover, for the first time, the electrochemical sensor allows determining the real concentrations of DF in environmental water samples without sample pretreatment steps.
