“…In 2013, Chen and coworkers ( Zhu et al, 2013 ) first reported two dimensional (2D) MOF ([Cu(H 2 DTOA)] n ) which was utilized as a sensing platform for effective detection of thrombin and HIV-1 DNA sequences with high selectivity and sensitivity. Currently, MOF-based sensing technology has been gradually used for detecting various viruses, involving HIV ss-DNA ( Pan et al, 2018 ; Zhu et al, 2013 ), HIV ds-DNA ( Chen et al, 2013 ), respiratory syncytial virus ( Guo et al, 2015 ), Ebola virus ( Qin et al, 2016 ), Sudan virus ( Yang et al, 2015 ), Zika virus ( Xie et al, 2018 ), Dengue virus ( Xie et al, 2018 ), H 5 N 1 virus ( Wei, 2013 ), hepatitis A virus (HAV) ( Luo et al, 2020b ), etc. And extensive MOFs or MOF-derived porous carbon materials including UiO-66-NH 2 ( Zhang et al, 2014a ), ZIF-8 ( Pan et al, 2018 ), MIL-88B ( Tian et al, 2015 ), MIL-101 ( Yang et al, 2020 ), H 2 dtoaCu ( Ye et al, 2014 ), NiCo 2 O 4 embedded with carbon nanotubes (NiCo-MOF) ( Jia et al, 2019 ), etc., have been applied for virus detection.…”
