Abstract
Environmental pollution has intensified and accelerated due to a steady increase in the number of industries, and exploring methods to remove hazardous contaminants, which can be typically divided into inorganic and organic compounds, have become inevitable. Therefore, the development of efficacious technology for the separation processes is of paramount importance to ensure the environmental remediation. Membrane and adsorption technologies garnered attention, especially with the use of novel and high performing nanomaterials, which provide a target-specific solution. Specifically, widespread use of MXene nanomaterials in membrane and adsorption technologies has emerged due to their intriguing characteristics, combined with outstanding separation performance. In this review, we demonstrated the intrinsic properties of the MXene family for several separation applications, namely, gas separation, solvent dehydration, dye removal, separation of oil-in-water emulsions, heavy metal ion removal, removal of radionuclides, desalination, and other prominent separation applications. We highlighted the recent advancements used to tune separation potential of the MXene family such as the manipulation of surface chemistry, delamination or intercalation methods, and fabrication of composite or nanocomposite materials. Moreover, we focused on the aspects of stability, fouling, regenerability, and swelling, which deserve special attention when the MXene family is implemented in membrane and adsorption-based separation applications.

Abstract
MXenes have emerged as wonderful materials that earned enormous attention in the last decade for applications in various fields. The potential of MXenes in the development of novel membranes has been explored recently by many researchers. This review critically assessed the recent advances in applications of MXene-based materials for the development of novel membranes. The synthesis routes of the MXene-based membranes are discussed, and the applications of developed membranes in water treatment and desalination are elaborated in detail. MXene-based membranes have demonstrated excellent potential in water treatment and desalination for the removal of dyes, metal ions, and salts from water. These membranes have unveiled exceptional antifouling potential and were proven to be a good choice to be employed in oil/water (O/W) separation. Besides impressive progress, numerous barriers restrict the practical applications of these membranes. The challenges related to synthesis routes of MXenes and MXene-based membranes, their stability and reusability potential, and the development of membranes on large scale are highlighted. Finally, recommendations for future work are suggested to overcome these limitations in future.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials (e.g., graphene) have shown to have a high potential in future biomedical applications due to their unique physicochemical properties such as unusual electrical conductivity, high biocompatibility, large surface area, and extraordinary thermal and mechanical properties. Although the potential of graphene as the most common 2D nanomaterials in biomedical applications has been extensively investigated, the practical use of other nanoengineered 2D materials beyond graphene such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), topological insulators (TIs), phosphorene, antimonene, bismuthene, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and MXenes for biomedical applications have not been appreciated so far. This review highlights not only the unique opportunities of 2D nanomaterials beyond graphene in various biomedical research areas such as bioelectronics, imaging, drug delivery, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine but also addresses the risk factors and challenges ahead from the medical perspective and clinical translation of nanoengineered 2D materials. In conclusion, the perspectives and future roadmap of nanoengineered 2D materials beyond graphene are outlined for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Fast water transport channels are crucial for water-related membrane separation processes. However, overcoming the trade-off between flux and selectivity is still a major challenge. To address this, we constructed spherical polyelectrolyte brush (SPB) structures with a highly hydrophilic polyelectrolyte brush layer, and introduced them into GO laminates, which increased both the flux and the separation factor. At 70 °C, the flux reached 5.23 kg m-2 h-1 , and the separation factor of butanol/water increased to ≈8000, which places it among the most selective separation membranes reported to date. Interestingly, further studies demonstrated that the enhancement of water transport was not only dependent on the hydrophilicity of the polyelectrolyte chains, but also influenced by their flexibility in the solvent. Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation and molecular dynamics simulations revealed the structure-performance correlations between water molecule migration and the flexibility of the ordered polymer chains in the 2D confined space.
