Abstract :The purpose of this study is the fabrication of a cost effective palladium coated steel electrode insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(pd-S); for the direct analysis of the sodium borohydride insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BH 4 - );. The electrode was prepared by the cyclic voltammetry. The electrode was observed to have a high catalytic effect on the oxidation of BH 4 - . The Pd-S surface was characterized with profilometri, scanning electron microscope, ferrocene test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic technique. The effects of  borohydride concentration, scan rate and pH upon the electrode reaction were examined. The concentrations of BH 4 - were found with an error of 0.35-0.53%. The interference of  the cations and anions have been investigated.
