In this work, spherical Ni-based metal-organic frameworks (Ni-MOFs) were used as precursors for preparing nanorod-like nickel phosphate (r-NiPO) with enhanced electro-catalytic properties in detection of glucose. It was found that the addition of nickel ion has a profound effect on construction of nickel phosphate with flower-like, rod-like, and ribbon-like structure in presence of HPO. The r-NiPO consisted of multiple phases of nickel phosphate showed porous, interconnected structure and abundant active Ni(II)/Ni(III) pairs, which was beneficial to facilitate glucose oxidation.
