“…Freire and coworkers also demonstrated the encapsulation of a redox‐active polyoxometalate into MIL‐101(Cr), and the resulting composite material was applied for electrochemical sensor toward ascorbic acid (AA) . Another Cr‐based MOF, MIL‐53(Cr), was also reported to show a high electrocatalytic activity for non‐enzymatic detection of H 2 O 2 , and the electrochemical and sensing activity of the Cr‐based MOF is attributed to the redox activity of the Cr‐based nodes . It should be noted that such Cr‐based MOFs constructed from carboxylate‐based linkers are well known to show excellent chemical stability in water .…”
Owing to their fascinating characteristics, metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted great attention and been utilized in a range of applications. The use of MOFs in electrochemical sensors has become an emerging subfield since 2013. However, the poor chemical stability in aqueous solutions and low electrical conductivity of most MOFs become two main concerns that hinder the use of pristine MOFs in electroanalytical systems. In this short review, we aim to focus on these issues and provide perspectives regarding the opportunities and possible strategies in future studies to overcome these challenges in order to design the MOF‐based electrochemical sensors.

“…In recent years, hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) has attracted considerable attention due to its important applications in food, industrial engineering, agriculture, medicine and health, clinical control and the environment. [1][2][3] Thus, it would be very valuable to develop a simple, fast, reliable and accurate technique to detect H 2 O 2 . Among the various techniques proposed for H 2 O 2 monitoring, electrochemical methods are the most convenient and effective.…”
“…Lopa et al presented an electrochemical biosensor for the quantification of H 2 O 2 based on MIL-53(Cr) [83]. The MOF was prepared following a microwave-assisted solvothermal synthesis mixing CrCl 3 and terephtalic acid (TPA) in water and further treated with NaOH.…”

This review focuses on the fabrication of biosensors using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as recognition and/or transducer elements. A brief introduction discussing the importance of the development of new biosensor schemes is presented, describing these coordination polymers, their properties, applications, and the main advantages and drawbacks for the final goal. The increasing number of publications regarding the characteristics of these materials and the new micro- and nanofabrication techniques allowing the preparation of more accurate, robust, and sensitive biosensors are also discussed. This work aims to offer a new perspective from the point of view of materials science compared to other reviews focusing on the transduction mechanism or the nature of the analyte. A few examples are discussed depending on the starting materials, the integration of the MOF as a part of the biosensor and, in a deep detail, the fabrication procedure.
