With the massive development of industrialization, multiple ecological contaminants in gaseous, liquid, and solid forms are vented into habitats, which is currently at the forefront of worldwide attention. Because of the possible damage to public health and eco-diversity, high-efficiency clearance of these environmental contaminants is a serious concern. Improved nanomaterials (NMs) could perform a significant part in the exclusion of contaminants from the atmosphere. MXenes, a class of two-dimensional (2D) compounds that have got tremendous consideration from researchers for a broad array of applications in a variety of industries and are viewed as a potential route for innovative solutions to identify and prevent a variety of obstreperous hazardous pollutants from environmental compartments due to their exceptional innate physicochemical and mechanical features, including high specific surface area, physiological interoperability, sturdy electrodynamics, and elevated wettability. This paper discusses the recent progress in MXene-based nanomaterials' applications such as environmental remediation, with a focus on their adsorption-reduction characteristics. The removal of heavy metals, dyes, and radionuclides by MXenes and MXene-based nanomaterials is depicted in detail, with the adsorption mechanism and regeneration potential highlighted. Finally, suggestions for future research are provided to ensure that MXenes and MXene-based nanomaterials are synthesized and applied more effectively.
随着工业化的大规模发展，气态、液态和固态的多种生态污染物被排放到栖息地中，这一问题目前处于全球关注的前沿。由于可能对公众健康和生态多样性造成损害，高效清除这些环境污染物是一个严重关切的问题。改进的纳米材料在从大气中去除污染物方面可以发挥重要作用。MXenes是一类二维化合物，因其卓越的固有物理化学和机械特性，包括高比表面积、生理互溶性、强大的电动力学和高润湿性，在各种行业的广泛应用中受到研究人员的极大关注，并被视为识别和防止来自环境介质中各种顽固有害污染物的创新解决方案的潜在途径。本文讨论了基于MXene的纳米材料在环境修复等应用方面的最新进展，重点关注其吸附还原特性。详细描述了MXenes和基于MXene的纳米材料对重金属、染料和放射性核素的去除情况，并突出了吸附机制和再生潜力。最后，为确保更有效地合成和应用MXenes及基于MXene的纳米材料提供了未来研究的建议。
