This work employed a polystyrene sphere as a template to synthesize a hollow nanocomposite with gold‐embedded zeolitic imidazolate framework‐67 (H‐Au@ZIF‐67). The morphological and structural characteristics of the prepared composite were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction and energy‐disperse spectroscopy, indicating that H‐Au@ZIF‐67 with a sunflower‐shaped cross section was successfully prepared. The synthesized H‐Au@ZIF‐67 was used to construct a dopamine electrochemical sensor, which showed good linearity scope of 0.25–438.75 μM with a high sensitivity of 332.1 μA mM −1 cm −2 and low detection limit of 0.04 μM. These results showed that the H‐Au@ZIF‐67 can be a good electrode modification material for dopamine sensing.
