In this paper, a novel composite of Fe/Fe 3 O 4 @C is synthesized by taking a Fe-metal-organic framework (Fe-MOF) as precursor template. Different treating temperature (450, 550, 650 and 750 °C) were carried out to investigate the composite of calcined products. The Fe/Fe 3 O 4 @C -650 modified glassy carbon electrode (Fe/Fe 3 O 4 @C -650 GCE) shows good electrocatalytic activity towards dopamine (DA) oxidation. Three electrochemical measuring methods of cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and amperometry i-t are adopted to investigate the sensing behaviors of Fe/Fe 3 O 4 @C -650 /GCE. The results show that: the sensors based on CV and DPV technology exhibit excellent advantages in the aspect of sensitivity and linear range thanthose of the sensor based on amperometry i-t technology. Meanwhile, the sensor based on CV method shows good selectivity for dopamine, and can resist the influence of various sugars, uric acid, ascorbic acid, as well as Na + and K + . The sensor also shows good stability and repeatability in the sensing process. In addition, the Fe/Fe 3 O 4 @C -650 /GCE could be successfully applied in the DA detection in the human serum.
