    Selectivity is significant to the practical applications of electrochemical biosensors in clinical and diagnostic field. In this paper, porous CeO2x/C nanorods (NRs) derived from Ce-based metal organic framework (MOF) were synthesized and employed as substrate to construct uric acid biosensors with high sensitivity and selectivity at low working potential. The morphology, microstructures and elemental states of as-prepared samples were investigated by SEM, XRD, TEM and XPS systematically. It was found that a great amount of oxygen vacancies was introduced into the interstitial of CeO2 and nonstoichiometric CeO2/C (CeO2x/C) nanorods based on Ce-MOF were formed under calcination in Ar atmosphere. The increased oxygen vacancies enabled the negatively shifting of the working potential towards H2O2 detection for CeO2x/C nanorods, favoring the construction of biosensors based on the detection of H2O2. Uric biosensors based on CeO2x/C NRs exhibited a high sensitivity of 220.0μAcm2mM1 and a linear range from 50μM to 1000μM at working potential of 0.4V versus SCE. It also exhibited superior selectivity toward interferents coexisting with uric acid in urine due to the low working potential.
