Since the infrastructure for the management of water quality and sanitation could not support the rising numbers due to the growing population and urbanization, especially in emerging countries, the problem associated with higher metal levels becomes an important issue in water quality in most cities that are growing very quickly. An effective way for the detection of Pb²⁺ and Hg²⁺ in water, which are hazardous to the environment and human health, becomes very important. Co-Zr-CAU-28@Ppy is a conductive nanocomposite with the structure consisting of the linker molecule ‘2,5-furan dicarboxylic acid.’ Zirconium tetrachloride and cobalt nitrate hexahydrate are the metal ions. This study employs an innovative method for the preparation of the compound through the use of microwave. The purity and quality of the compounds are checked through respective FT-IR and XRD analyses. After this, the electrochemical analysis CV test was carried out to verify the good conductivity of the composite. Chemicals are compounds that have a specific chemical structure. The number of chemicals is vast; hence chemicals can be classified based on their nature, application, and interaction with the organisms in the environment
