Multipod　ZnO-multi-walled　carbon　nanotube　(MWCNT)-reduced　graphene　(RGO)　ternary　nanocomposites　were　synthesised　via　a　simple　one-pot　hydrothermal　process　using　graphene　oxide　(GO)-dispersed　MWCNT　and　zinc　nitrate　hexahydrate　as　raw　materials.　The　synthesised　nanocomposites　were　characterised　by　SEM,　XRD　and　Raman　spectroscopy.　The　prepared　nanocomposite　was　used　for　glassy　carbon　electrode　surface　modification　and　performed　for　electrochemical　removal　of　MTBE　in　a　lab-scale　bath　electrolyser.　Study　showed　electrochemical　removal　of　methyl　tertiary　butyl　ether　(MTBE)　can　be　conducted　either　through　direct　oxidation,　water　electrolysis　competition　or　indirect　oxidation.　The　surface　modification　highly　enhanced　the　degradation　process.
