The sensor surface morphology was characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The electrochemical performance of the imprinted sensor was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The sensor displayed excellent selectivity towards the target Ga（III） ion. Meanwhile, the introduced MWCNTs displayed noticeable catalytic activity, and fl：CD demonstrated significant enrichment capacity. A linear calibration curve was obtained covering the concentration range from 5.0 × 10 8 to 1.0 × 10-4 moloL-1, with a detection limit of 7.6× 10 9 mol·L-1.
