Their presence in air, water, soil, and food can lead to a multitude of adverse effects, from acute poisoning to chronic health problems. The rapid expansion of industrialization and technology has increased HMs contamination from industrial emissions, mining, agriculture, urbanization, and e-waste, posing serious risks to ecosystems and public health. To tackle this increasing challenge, it is essential to develop highly robust, sensitive, and selective electrochemical detection methods for the rapid identification of heavy metal ions (HMIs) contaminants. This review investigates a variety of electrochemical sensors and biosensors utilizing voltammetric techniques for HMIs detection. It covers voltammetric methods such as cyclic voltammetry (CV), square wave voltammetry (SWV), differential-pulse voltammetry (DPV), normal pulse voltammetry (NPV), staircase voltammetry (SV), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), hydrodynamic voltammetry (HV), anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV), cathodic stripping voltammetry (CSV), and adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV). The review also emphasizes recent advancements in the electrochemical detection of HMIs through various sensor and biosensor platforms, including different nanomaterials and DNA aptamers. These innovations have potential applications in environmental monitoring, food and water safety, industrial waste management, and public health protection, making them vital tools for safeguarding human health and the environment from HMIs contamination.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":391,"journal":{"name":"Microchemical Journal","volume":"207 ","pages":"Article 112086"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142658861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2007, nanozyme research exploded with the discovery of enzyme-mimicking magnetic nanoparticles (NPs). Over the last decade, nanozymes have revealed their catalytic secrets and expanded their applications. Biocatalytic tumor treatment uses nanozymes as a tiny enzyme mimics, to treat various cancers. This method combines nanotechnology and enzyme-driven biocatalysis. In addition, novel nanocatalysts usually employ multivalent ions as catalyst centres and are widely reported to outperform enzymes in catalysis. They also have better stability in living organisms, functional versatility, and lower production costs. A recent study suggests that nanozymes for biocatalytic tumor treatment could be promising because malignant tumors can change or alter numerous enzymes. Furthermore, the current research in this domain focuses more on iron-based nanostructures because they are simple to make, biocompatible, have promising physical properties, and can catalyze biological processes efficiently; and largely increase tumor hypoxia and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated damage <em>via</em> ferroptosis. Apart from the above-mentioned properties, nanozymes can increase chromogenic or fluorogenic chemical oxidation with certain analytes. This colour change or fluorescence signal can identify and quantify the target biomarker.
