Abstract
The detection of heavy metals serves as a defence measure to safeguard the well-being of the human body and the ecological environment. Electrochemical sensors (ECS) offer significant benefits such as exceptional sensitivity, excellent selectivity, affordability, and portability. This review begins by elucidating the ECS principles and delves into recent advancements in the field of heavy metal detection, including the use of metal nanoparticles, carbon-based nanomaterials, and organic framework materials. Advanced materials enhance the sensitivity and selectivity of ECS, allowing it to efficiently and rapidly identify metallic contaminants in food and the environment. Finally, the future development of ECS and challenges encountered in the development process are discussed, and testing materials for the detection of heavy-metal ions for human health and environmental safety are comprehensively considered. This study is likely to attract the interest of environmentalists and those who prioritise human health.
