Global hunger and nutritional deficiency demand the advancement of existing and conventional approaches to food production. The application of nanoenabled strategies in agriculture has opened up new avenues for enhancing crop yield and productivity. Recently, two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials (NMs) have manifested new possibilities for increasing food production and nutrition. Graphene nanosheets, the 2D form of graphene has been exemplary in enhancing the loading capacity of agro-active ingredients, their target-specific delivery, bioavailability, and controlled release with slow degradation, resulting in the increased shelf-life/active time of the agro-active components. Also, the development of novel formulations/composites of MXenes and Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs) can foster plant growth, metabolism, crop production, protection and improvement of soil quality. Additionally, the 2D NM-based biosensors can monitor the nutrient levels and other parameters affecting agronomical traits in plants. This review provides an insight into the details of 2D NM synthesis and functionalization methods. Notably, the review highlights the broad-range of 2D NM applications and their suitability in the development of nanotechnology-based agriformulations. The 2D NM-based derivatives have shown immense potential in enhancing the pedologic parameters, crop productivity, pest-protection and nutritional value. Thus, assisting in achieving food and environmental sustainability goals.
全球饥饿和营养缺乏问题需要推进现有的和传统的食品生产方法。纳米技术在农业中的应用为提高作物产量和生产力开辟了新途径。最近，二维（2D）纳米材料（NMs）为增加粮食生产和营养提供了新的可能。石墨烯纳米片是石墨烯的 2D 形式，在提高农用活性成分的负载能力、靶向特异性传递、生物利用度和控制释放方面表现出了非凡的效果，同时缓慢降解，延长了农用活性成分的货架寿命/有效时间。此外，MXenes 和过渡金属二卤化物（TMDs）的新型配方/复合材料的开发可以促进植物生长、新陈代谢、作物生产、保护和改善土壤质量。此外，基于 2D NM 的生物传感器可以监测影响植物农艺性状的营养水平和其他参数。本文综述了 2D NM 的合成和功能化方法的细节。值得注意的是，该综述强调了 2D NM 应用的广泛范围及其在基于纳米技术的农业制剂开发中的适用性。基于 2D NM 的衍生物在提高土壤参数、作物生产力、病虫害防治和营养价值方面显示出巨大的潜力。因此，有助于实现粮食和环境的可持续性目标。
