Traditional heavy metal ion detection methods often require complex and expensive instruments, professional operation, tedious sample preparation, high requirements for laboratory conditions, and operator professionalism, and they cannot be widely used in the field for real-time and rapid detection. Therefore, developing portable, highly sensitive, selective, and economical sensors is necessary for the detection of toxic metal ions in the field. This paper presents portable sensing based on optical and electrochemical methods for the in situ detection of trace heavy metal ions. Progress in research on portable sensor devices based on fluorescence, colorimetric, portable surface Raman enhancement, plasmon resonance, and various electrical parameter analysis principles is highlighted, and the characteristics of the detection limits, linear detection ranges, and stability of the various sensing methods are analyzed. Accordingly, this review provides a reference for the design of portable heavy metal ion sensing.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23084125","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,20]],"date-time":"2023-04-20T04:53:59Z","timestamp":1681966439000},"page":"4125","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":102,"title":["Advances in Portable Heavy Metal Ion Sensors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Tao","family":"Hu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics, School of Physics and Electronics, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qingteng","family":"Lai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics, School of Physics and Electronics, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wen","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics, School of Physics and Electronics, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanke","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics, School of Physics and Electronics, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2897-8663","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhengchun","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics, School of Physics and Electronics, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"65","DOI":"10.1007\/s13206-016-0109-8","article-title":"Sensitive detection of lead ions using sodium thiosulfate and surfactant-capped gold nanoparticles","volume":"10","author":"Nguyen","year":"2016","journal-title":"Biochip J."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"22019","DOI":"10.20964\/2022.01.07","article-title":"Recent advances and future prospects of aptamer-based biosensors in food safety analysis","volume":"17","author":"Wang","year":"2022","journal-title":"Int.
