ABSTRACT
Hydrogen peroxide is one of the major reactive oxygen species, generated as a by-product of physiological processes. Oxidative stress caused by the change in concentration of H2O2 causes oxidative stress that can lead to many diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and renal failure. As a typical analyte it is used in foodstuffs, and in clinical, medicinal, and environmental applications. The development of simple, fast, cost-effective, sensitive, stable, and on-time detection methods has become significant. Generally, it is sensed by enzyme-based and non-enzyme-based metal-organic framework sensors through various sensing techniques. A variety of MOF-based composites enhance the catalytic property of sensors. MOFs are formed by a coordination bond between metal and organic linkers offering more porosity, larger surface area, crystallinity, and conductivity. Organic and inorganic MOFs have been synthesized and executed for the sensing of H2O2. This chapter will cover the typical properties of MOFs and their composites, for the execution of H2O2 sensing.
