Background
Contemporary global food safety faces increasingly severe challenges from food contaminants such as heavy metal ions, aflatoxins, pesticide residues, and antibiotics. Contaminant detection in food serves as a foundational technology for the sustainable development of the food industry. Recent breakthroughs in the applications of micro/mesoporous nanomaterials (MMNs) have significantly contributed to the development of electrochemical sensing techniques. The development of highly effective sensing platforms facilitates the on-site detection of harmful substances, thereby enhancing food safety and safeguarding human health.
Scope and approach
MMNs possess tunable pore architectures, favorable processing characteristics, and high specific surface areas. Meanwhile, the nanoconfinement effect inherent to the MMNs significantly enhances the reaction kinetics. In this review, we systematically summarized recent progress in the synthesis strategies, advantageous properties, and applications of MMNs in multimodal sensing platforms for food contaminants. Furthermore, we briefly elucidated the sensing mechanisms of different MMN-based sensors and their specific applications for detecting key food contaminants.
Key findings and conclusions
This review summarized the advantages and competitive capabilities of MMNs in electrochemical sensing applications. Substantial evidence indicated that integrating MMNs into electrochemical sensor development holds great prospect for advancing food contaminant detection. Consequently, MMNs leveraging with tunnable pore strucutres and nanoconfinement effects, represent essential components for constructing robust sensing platforms with high stability and specificity through interfacial engineering. Furthermore, this paper provided a critical examination of the current challenges and future development prospects of MMN-based sensors. Future research should explore MMN-based sensing integration with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
