This work describes the development of electrochemical sensors based on graphite–polyurethane composite (GPU) modified with aluminophosphate zeolite type 5 (AlPO-5) and nickel (II) incorporated aluminophosphate type 5 (NiAlPO-5), in order to evaluate their performance for determination of Cu2+ in ethanol biofuel. These electrodes were initially characterized by cyclic voltammetry. The obtained results revealed that the NiAlPO-5 with Ni/Al ratio 0.5 presented the best response in terms of sensitivity, and peak width at half height of Cu2+ voltamogramm, which indicate that on these conditions the NiAlPO-5 electrode is viable for determination of this ion in biofuel samples by square wave stripping voltammetry. The obtained results revealed that the presence of Ni in the zeolite structure (NiAlPO-5) improves the electrical properties, and increases the peak current for Cu2+ in comparison with the electrode based in AlPO-5. The proposed method presented a linear response for Cu2+ with good results for limit of detection (9.4×10−9 mol L−1), accuracy (recovery of 115 %) and precision (RSD of 5.9 %). Voltammograms of graphite-polyurethane electrodes modified with microporous aluminophosphates AlPO-5 and NiAlPO-5, showing the influence of the presence of Ni in the voltammetric response for Cu2.
