Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) or coordination polymers have gained enormous interest in recent years due to their extraordinary properties, including their high surface area, tunable pore size, and ability to form nanocomposites with various functional materials. MOF materials possess redox-active properties that are beneficial for electrochemical sensing applications. Furthermore, the tunable pore size and high surface area improve the adsorption or immobilization of enzymes, which can enhance the sensitivity and selectivity for specific analytes. Additionally, MOF-derived metal sulfides, phosphides, and nitrides demonstrate superior electrical conductivity and structural stability, ideal for electrochemical sensing. Moreover, the functionalization of MOFs further increases sensitivity by enhancing electrode–analyte interactions. The inclusion of carbon materials within MOFs enhances their electrical conductivity and reduces background current through optimized loading, preventing agglomeration and ensuring uniform distribution. Noble metals immobilized on MOFs offer improved stability and catalytic performance, providing larger surface areas and uniform nanoparticle dispersion. This review focuses on recent developments in MOF-based biosensors specifically for glucose, dopamine, H2O2, ascorbic acid, and uric acid sensing.
