About this Environmental Science article
Recent advancements in MXene-based nanocomposites as photocatalysts for hazardous pollutant degradation - A review by Chandraleka Chinnasamy; Nagapandiselvi Perumal; Akanksha Choubey; Saravanan Rajendran is a Environmental Science article available to read on EtoBox.
The recent expeditious industrialization and urbanization showcase the increasing need for renewable and non-renewable energy and the severe environmental crisis. In this regard, numerous 2-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have been developed as a facile approach to meet the futuristic energy essentials and to resolve the crisis. In contrast, the newly explored 2D MXene nanomaterial (transition metal carbide/nitrides/carbonitride) has developed as an intriguing material for various environmental applications. This development is accredited to their unique properties, which include a vast surface area, strong electrical conductivity, fascinating photophysical properties, high mechanical properties, stability in an aqueous medium, high hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, ease of functionalization, and excellent thermal properties. MXenes act as a potential candidate in water desalination, wastewater treatment, energy storage devices such as electrodes of Li-ion batteries and pseudo capacitors, hydrogen production, sensors, and wastewater treatment. This review article deliberates the synthesis of MXene and nanocomposites of MXene and their photo-catalytic actions against various toxic po
