MXenes for Point of Care Devices (POC)

Point-of-care diagnostics have been revolutionized by biosensors, and the materials have also changed and drawn attention to MXenes since their discovery in 2011. Due to their enhanced electrical and surface characteristics, MXenes make excellent material choices for biosensing applications. Implementing MXenes in biosensing platforms may be impossible with their high electrical conductivity, tunable surface functionalities, good chemical stability, excellent hydrophilicity, high surface areas, ease of synthesizing large quantities in water, and environment-friendly natures. Noncovalent and physical adsorption are employed in manufacturing MXene-based materials, despite these frameworks being unstable. MXene-based materials did not start to be utilized in biosensor applications until 2015. In light of MXene materials’ poor adsorption, it is essential to include the drug delivery system with them. The best solution to these problems is surface functionalization. In the literature survey, There are particular publications on the cytocompatibility of MXene materials in vitro or in vivo . Green-MXenes, the most recent advancement in MXene technology, can potentially be the next generation of inexpensive, biocompatible, and functionalized 2D nanosystems that can be employed in biosensors and point-of-care devices. © 2024 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
