The central nervous system relies heavily on neurotransmitters (NTMs), and NTM imbalances have been linked to a wide range of neurological conditions. Thus, the development of reliable detection techniques is essential for advancing brain studies. This review offers a comprehensive analysis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), transition metal oxides (TMOs), and MOFs-derived TMOs (MOFs/TMOs) as materials for electrochemical (EC) sensors targeting the detection of key NTMs, specifically dopamine (DA), epinephrine (EP), and serotonin (SR). The unique properties and diverse families of MOFs and TMOs, along with their nanostructured hybrids, are discussed in the context of EC sensing. The review also addresses the challenges in detecting NTMs and proposes a systematic approach to tackle these obstacles. Despite the vast amount of research on MOFs and TMOs-based EC sensors for DA detection, the review highlights the gaps in the literature for MOFs/TMOs-based EC sensors specifically for EP and SR detection, as well as the limited research on microneedles (MNs)-based EC sensors modified with MOFs, TMOs, and MOFs/TMOs for NTMs detection. This review serves as a foundation to encourage researchers to further explore the potential applications of MOFs, TMOs, and MOFs/TMOs-based EC sensors in the context of neurological disorders and other health conditions related to NTMs imbalances.

Carbon fiber, with its strong mechanical properties and electrical conductivity, is ideal as a fiber electrode in wearable or structural energy storage devices. However, its energy storage capacity is limited, and coatings like transition metal oxides (TMOs) enhance its electrochemical performance. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are commonly used to grow TMOs on carbon fibers, increasing the surface area for better energy storage.

Transition metal oxides (TMOs) have received significant consideration. Because of their enormous theoretical capacity, cheap, and less toxicity. Notably, cobalt-based materials hold promises as negative electrode materials for batteries, but they suffer from less electrical conductivity and significant volume changes during operation.

Transition metal oxide/metal-organic framework heterojunctions (TMO@MOF) that combine the large specific surface area of MOFs with TMOs' high catalytic activity and multifunctionality, show excellent performances in various catalytic reactions. Nevertheless, the present preparation approaches of TMO@MOF heterojunctions are too complex to control, stimulating interests in developing simple and highly controllable methods for preparing such heterojunction. In this study, we propose an in situ electrochemical reduction approach to fabricating CuO nanoparticle (NP)@CuHHTP heterojunction nanoarrays with a graphene-like conductive MOF CuHHTP (HHTP is 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene).

The capacity attenuation of transition metal oxides (TMOs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is the obstacle for practical application in lithium ion batteries, due to the extensive volume variation upon charge/discharge cycles. Herein, a hierarchical composite material with copper oxide (CuO) multi-yolks and copper-1, 3, 5-benzenetricarboxylate (Cu-BTC) shell is synthesized by a facile method to study the effect of the hierarchical structure on the electrochemical performance. The porosity and pore volume of CuO@Cu-BTC composites are optimized to buffer the volume change and facilitate the infiltration of electrolytes by altering reaction conditions.
