Abstract
Transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes) have been regarded as a promising material for the separation and removal of toxic pollutants from the environment due to its excellent optical, electrical, chemical, and mechanical properties. This review discusses the various MXene synthesis methods and their optical, electrical, and mechanical properties. In addition, the photocatalytic properties of these materials are studied with respect to antibiotic medication degradation. This review also discusses the utilization of MXenes as a membrane and adsorbent for removing synthetic dyes and heavy metal ions from wastewater. Finally, the technical challenges and prospects for this wonder 2D nanomaterials are discussed. We hope that this study will motivate scientists working on MXene-based nanocomposites.
期刊介绍:
Materials Chemistry Frontiers focuses on the synthesis and chemistry of exciting new materials, and the development of improved fabrication techniques. Characterisation and fundamental studies that are of broad appeal are also welcome.
This is the ideal home for studies of a significant nature that further the development of organic, inorganic, composite and nano-materials.
