Simple and accurate monitoring of urinary dopamine (DA) concentration is significant, which is helpful for the assessment or exclusion of catecholamine-producing tumors, such as pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma. Herein, a fluorescence/colorimetry/smartphone triple-mode sensing platform for DA determination was constructed using copper ion (Cu<sup>2+</sup>)-modified hydrazone-linked covalent organic frameworks (Cu-BTA-COF). Cu-BTA-COF with 21.67 wt % copper content exhibited peroxidase-mimic activity. After adding H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> and 1,3-dihydroxynaphthalene, the Cu-BTA-COF platform can sensitively and selectively detect DA in three modes with consistent results. In fluorescence/colorimetry/smartphone modes, the linear ranges of DA were 1-10, 0.2-40, and 1-10 μM, with related detection limits of 7.2, 8.6, and 23 nM, respectively. Moreover, the Cu-BTA-COF platform can be explored for DA determination in human urine samples with satisfactory recoveries (97.6-100.4%) in all the three modes, suggesting the potential practical application of the Cu-BTA-COF platform for DA detection in urine.
