Abstract Flower-like graphene/CuO@Cu-BTC (GR/CuO@Cu-BTC) composite was employed as electrode material for the voltammetric determination of caffeic acid (CA) in the wine. The composite material was prepared via the self-template method. In this synthetic process, budlike CuO not only acts as the template, but also provides Cu2+ ions for in situ growth of the Cu-BTC shell. The utilization of GR as petal greatly boosts the stability and electronic conductivity of CuO@Cu-BTC. The GR/ CuO@Cu-BTC composite possesses unique structural features with high specific surface area and good conductivity, exhibiting excellent electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of CA. Under optimized conditions, the sensor shows a good linear response to CA concentration over the range 0.020–10.0 μM, together with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 7.0 nM. Selectivity, reproducibility, and stability were investigated, and the method has been applied for the determination of CA in wine samples. Keywords Metal-organic framework . Graphene .

human health including anti-allergic, antibacterial, and inflammatory effects [2]. Thus, the quantitative detection of CA is more concerned for healthcare. Electrochemical methods are considered to be the most preferred methods on account of their low cost, rapid response, and high sensitivity [3, 4]. Based on the electroactivity of CA, many studies have reported the use of nanocomposite-modified sensors for CA detection, such as graphene [5], copper sulfide nanodots/graphene oxide [6]. However, there is still a need to construct unique modified electrodes with higher sensitivity and selectivity. Metal-orga
