The quantification of ascorbic acid (AA), dopamine (DA), and uric acid (UA) has been an important area of research, as these molecules’ determination directly corresponds to the diagnosis and control of diseases of nerve and brain physiology. In our research, graphene oxide (GO) with nano pores deposited with gold nanoparticles were self-assembled to form three-dimensional (3D) Au/holey-graphene oxide (Au/HGO) composite structures. The as-prepared 3DAu/HGO composite structures were characterized for their structures by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectrum, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy coupled with cyclic voltammograms. Finally, the proposed 3DAu/HGO displayed high sensitivity, excellent electron transport properties, and selectivity for the simultaneous electrochemical determination of AA, DA and UA with linear response ranges of 1.0–500 μM, 0.01–50 μM and 0.05–50 μM respectively. This finding paves the way for graphene applications as a biosensor for detecting three analytes in human serum.
