Abstract Fe-MOFs catalyst was prepared by simple solvothermal synthesis. The Fe-MOF was characterized by XRD, TEM, SEM and FT-IR which confirmed metal organic framework nanoparticles with Nano size reached nearly 29.4-129.9 nm. The adsorption capacities / percentages of Fe-MOF adsorbent for heavy metals as toxic pollutants from aqueous solutions were high, which indicate that Fe-MOFs nanoparticles can be used as a good adsorbent.

A nano-form composite of MXenes (Ti3C2Tx, Tx = -O, -OH, -F) was synthesized through depositing bismuth-nanoparticle (BiNPs) onto Ti3C2Tx sheets. Because of the preventive effect of the two-dimensional layered structure of Ti3C2Tx, the nanoparticles of Bi were uniform and well attached on the Ti3C2Tx. The obtained BiNPs/Ti3C2Tx nano-composite was applied for sensors construction of electrochemical detecting of Pb2+ and Cd2+ heavy metal ions. The produced BiNPs@Ti3C2Tx-based sensor showed high effective surface area and excellent conductivity. Also, the BiNPs were efficient for anodic-stripping voltammetric to detect heavy metal ions. After conditions optimization, the BiNPs@Ti3C2Tx nano-sensor could detect Pb2+ and Cd2+ simultaneously and the detection limits were 10.8 nM for Pb2+ and 12.4 nM for Cd2+. The BiNPs@Ti3C2Tx was promising for detecting heavy metal ions due to their high surface area, fast electron-transfer ability, environmental friendliness, and facial preparation.

Over the past few decades, nanoparticles of iron oxide Fe3O4 (magnetite) gained significant attention in both basic studies and many practical applications. Their unique properties such as superparamagnetism, low toxicity, synthesis simplicity, high surface area to volume ratio, simple separation methodology by an external magnetic field, and renewability are the reasons for their successful utilisation in environmental remediation, biomedical, and agricultural applications. Moreover, the magnetite surface modification enables the successful binding of various analytes. In this work, we discuss the usage of core–shell nanoparticles and nanocomposites based on Fe3O4 for the modification of the GC electrode surface. Furthermore, this review focuses on the heavy metal ions electrochemical detection using Fe3O4-based nanoparticles-modified electrodes. Moreover, the most frequently used electrochemical methods, such as differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry and measurement conditions, including deposition potential, deposition time, and electrolyte selection, are discussed.
