Relating to the field of analytical chemistry detection, the invention provides a carbon paste electrode for detection of hydroquinone, and a preparation and detection method thereof. The carbon paste electrode for detection of hydroquinone comprises a carbon paste, an electrode tube, an electrode lead wire, and a graphene oxide coating. The electrode tube has a first end and a second end opposite in positions, the carbon paste is pressed into the electrode tube from the first end of the electrode tube, the electrode lead wire contacts the carbon paste, and is led out from the second end of the electrode tube, and the graphene oxide layer is formed on the surface of the first end. The carbon paste electrode modifies graphene oxide to a carbon paste electrode substrate, and graphene oxide is an excellent modifier and has good electrocatalytic response to hydroquinone. Also the carbon paste electrode has the advantages of simple making, long service cycle, good stability, high sensitivity, low cost, easy preparation and excellent reproducibility, etc., and can be used for determination of hydroquinone in water samples. In addition, the invention also relates to a preparation method of the carbon paste electrode and a detection method of hydroquinone.
