Abstract  Based on a new screening Coulomb model, this paper discusses the effect of electron screening on proton capture reaction of $^{23}$Mg. The derived result shows that, in some considerable range of stellar temperatures, the effect of electron screening on resonant reaction is prominent; on the non-resonant reaction the effect is obvious only in the low stellar temperatures. The reaction rates of $^{23}$Mg(p, $\gamma )^{24}$Al would increase 15%--25% due to the fact that the electron screening are considered in typical temperature range of massive mass white dwarfs, and the results undoubtedly affect the nucleosynthesis of some heavier nuclei in massive mass white dwarfs.
