Abstract
Recently, the developments of high-ordered mesoporous monoliths (HOM) open different methodological avenues for changes especially beneficial in the field of sensor applications. Growing public awareness on the potential risk to humans of toxic chemicals in the environment has generated demand for new and improved methods for toxicity assessment and removal, rational means for health risk estimation. Mesoporous materials are highly desirable materials that have a large surface area, high porosity with a highly ordered pore structure with uniform mesopores, hydrophilic character and relatively good chemical and mechanical stability was fabricated and during this study as toxic metal sensor. The result indicated high sensitivity and selectivity, also the sensor is able to serve for multiple recycle/uses.
