Since titanium carbide TiC nanosheets were first produced in 2011, an increasing number of members of this new family of two-dimensional transition metal carbides/nitride (MXene) materials have been successfully synthesized. Due to their large specific surface area, hydrophilic nature and abundant highly active surface sites, MXenes have been demonstrated to adsorb a variety of environmental pollutants, including heavy metal ions, organic dyes, radionuclides, and gas molecules, and thus can be used for the removal of pollutants and even sensing. In this review, we summarize the recent research progress on MXene materials in the adsorptive remediation of environmental pollutants and highlight the main challenges in the future to understand the full potential of MXene materials in environmental systems.
自2011年首次制备出碳化钛TiC纳米片以来，越来越多的二维过渡金属碳化物/氮化物（MXene）材料新家族成员已被成功合成。由于其大比表面积、亲水性以及丰富的高活性表面位点，MXene已被证明能够吸附多种环境污染物，包括重金属离子、有机染料、放射性核素和气体分子，因此可用于去除污染物甚至传感。在本综述中，我们总结了MXene材料在环境污染物吸附修复方面的最新研究进展，并突出了未来的主要挑战，以全面了解MXene材料在环境系统中的潜力。
