Cover Story: Heavy metal ions (HMIs) pose an imminent threat to both human well-being and the delicate balance of ecosystems due to their acute toxic effects. Detecting these hazardous elements with precision is paramount for safeguarding health and the environment. In recent years, a surge in research has harnessed the potential of various nanocomposite materials, including metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), organic conducting polymers (OCP), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), graphitic carbon nitride (gC3N4), metal oxides, chitosan, MXenes, and metal nanoparticle-based nanocomposites. This comprehensive review encapsulates the cutting-edge progress in electrochemical sensors crafted from diverse nanocomposite materials for HMI detection in real-world scenarios, such as environmental monitoring, food safety, and clinical diagnosis. View this paper
