Metal organic frameworks as promising sensing tools for electrochemical detection of persistent heavy metal ions from water matrices: A concise review

Syed Salman Shafqat et al.

Summary: Water bodies are being rapidly polluted by toxic chemicals, especially heavy metal ions (HMIs), which are non-biodegradable, toxic, and can accumulate in ecological systems, posing a significant threat to human health. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) based electrochemical sensors have shown great potential in sensing HMIs due to their robust, sensitive, selective, and reliable properties. In this review article, the types, synthesis, and working mechanism of MOF based sensors are explained, with a focus on their application in sensing various metal ions. The challenges and future prospects of MOFs in electrochemical sensing devices for HMIs are discussed to promote their development.
