Real-time monitoring of cellular superoxide anion release in THP-1 cells using a catalytically amplified superoxide dismutase-based microbiosensor. Anal Bioanal Chem 2024; 416:4727-4737. [PMID: 39014219 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-024-05437-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2024] [Revised: 07/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/02/2024] [Indexed: 07/18/2024]
Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) including the superoxide anion (O2•-) are typically studied in cell cultures using fluorescent dyes, which provide only discrete single-point measurements. These methods lack the capabilities for assessing O2•- kinetics and release in a quantitative manner over long monitoring times. Herein, we present the fabrication and application of an electrochemical biosensor that enables real-time continuous monitoring of O2•- release in cell cultures for extended periods (> 8 h) using an O2•- specific microelectrode. To achieve the sensitivity and selectivity requirements for cellular sensing, we developed a biohybrid system consisting of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and Ti3C2Tx MXenes, deposited on a gold microwire electrode (AuME) as O2•- specific materials with catalytic amplification through the synergistic action of the enzyme and the biomimetic MXenes-based structure. The biosensor demonstrated a sensitivity of 18.35 nA/μM with a linear range from 147 to 930 nM in a cell culture medium. To demonstrate its robustness and practicality, we applied the biosensor to monitor O2•- levels in human leukemia monocytic THP-1 cells upon stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Using this strategy, we successfully monitored LPS-induced O2•- in THP-1 cells, as well as the quenching effect induced by the ROS scavenger N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC). The biosensor is generally useful for exploring the role of oxidative stress and longitudinally monitoring O2•- release in cell cultures, enabling studies of biochemical processes and associated oxidative stress mechanisms in cellular and other biological environments.

Abstract
Flexible fiber-based microelectrodes allow safe and chronic investigation and modulation of electrically active cells and tissues. Compared to planar electrodes, they enhance targeting precision while minimizing side effects from the device-tissue mechanical mismatch. However, the current manufacturing methods face scalability, reproducibility, and handling challenges, hindering large-scale deployment. Furthermore, only a few designs can record electrical and biochemical signals necessary for understanding and interacting with complex biological systems. In this study, we present a method that utilizes the electrical conductivity and easy processability of MXenes, a diverse family of two-dimensional nanomaterials, to apply a thin layer of MXene coating continuously to commercial nylon filaments (30-300 μm in diameter) at a rapid speed (up to 15 mm/s), achieving a linear resistance below 10 Ω/cm. The MXene-coated filaments are then batch-processed into free-standing fiber microelectrodes with excellent flexibility, durability, and consistent performance even when knotted. We demonstrate the electrochemical properties of these fiber electrodes and their hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) sensing capability and showcase their applications in vivo (rodent) and ex vivo (bladder tissue). This scalable process fabricates high-performance microfiber electrodes that can be easily customized and deployed in diverse bioelectronic monitoring and stimulation studies, contributing to a deeper understanding of health and disease.

Abstract
Lead ions are especially harmful to human health, causing significant developmental and behavioral abnormalities even at small concentrations. In real-life samples, lead ions are present in mixtures with other metal ions, creating a challenge to detect it selectively at low quantities. To address these challenges, we prepared an electrochemical sensor based on delaminated Ti3C2Tx MXene, which can selectively detect low concentrations of Pb2+ in a solution containing other common metal ions. Cyclic voltammetry was applied as an electrochemical detection method. The proposed reaction mechanism involves a reversible transition between Pb2+ ions and PbO at the MXene-based layer. The sensitivity of the sensor towards Pb2+ ions and a limit of detection were determined. The sensor, as prepared, had a linear response range within 0.15-1.0 μM, with a sensitivity of 26.7 μA/μM and LOD value of 48.7 nM, which meets the requirements set by the World Health Organization.

Abstract
MXenes (Mn+1XnTx), a subgroup of 2-dimensional (2D) materials, specifically comprise transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides. They exhibit exceptional electrocatalytic and photocatalytic properties, making them well-suited for the detection and removal of pollutants from aqueous environments. Because of their high surface area and remarkable properties, they are being utilized in various applications, including catalysis, sensing, and adsorption, to combat pollution and mitigate its adverse effects. Different characterization techniques like XRD, SEM, TEM, UV-Visible spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy have been used for the structural elucidation of 2D MXene. Current responses against applied potential were measured during the electrochemical sensing of the hazardous pollutants in an aqueous system using a variety of electroanalytical techniques, including differential pulse voltammetry, amperometry, square wave anodic stripping voltammetry, etc. In this review, a comprehensive discussion on structural patterns, synthesis, properties of MXene and their application for electrochemical detection of lethal pollutants like hydroquionone, phenol, catechol, mercury and lead, etc. are presented. This review will be helpful to critically understand the methods of synthesis and application of MXenes for the removal of environmental pollutants.

Abstract
Electrochemical biosensors have emerged as powerful tools for the ultrasensitive detection of lung cancer biomarkers like carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), and alpha fetoprotein (AFP). This review comprehensively discusses the progress and potential of nanocomposite-based electrochemical biosensors for early lung cancer diagnosis and prognosis. By integrating nanomaterials like graphene, metal nanoparticles, and conducting polymers, these sensors have achieved clinically relevant detection limits in the fg/mL to pg/mL range. We highlight the key role of nanomaterial functionalization in enhancing sensitivity, specificity, and antifouling properties. This review also examines challenges related to reproducibility and clinical translation, emphasizing the need for standardization of fabrication protocols and robust validation studies. With the rapid growth in understanding lung cancer biomarkers and innovations in sensor design, nanocomposite electrochemical biosensors hold immense potential for point-of-care lung cancer screening and personalized therapy guidance. Realizing this goal will require strategic collaboration among material scientists, engineers, and clinicians to address technical and practical hurdles. Overall, this work provides valuable insight for developing next-generation smart diagnostic devices to combat the high mortality of lung cancer.

Abstract
Extending applications of Ti3C2Tx MXene in nanocomposites and across fields of electronics, energy storage, energy conversion, and sensor technologies necessitates simple and efficient analytical methods. Raman spectroscopy is a critical tool for assessing MXene composites; however, high laser powers and temperatures can lead to the materials' deterioration during the analysis. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of MXene photothermal degradation and changes in its oxidation state is required, but no systematic studies have been reported. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the degradation of the MXene lattice through Raman spectroscopic analysis. Distinct spectral markers were related to structural alterations within the Ti3C2Tx material after subjecting it to thermal- and laser-induced degradation. During the degradation processes, spectral markers were revealed for several specific steps: a decrease in the number of interlayer water molecules, a decrease in the number of -OH groups, formation of C-C bonds, oxidation of the lattice, and formation of TiO2 nanoparticles (first anatase, followed by rutile). By tracking of position shifts and intensity changes for Ti3C2Tx, the spectral markers that signify the initiation of each step were found. This spectroscopic approach enhances our understanding of the degradation pathways of MXene, and facilitating enhanced and dependable integration of these materials into devices for diverse applications, from energy storage to sensors.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials that integrate metallic conductivity, catalytic activity and the ability to stabilize biological receptors provide unique capabilities for designing electrochemical biosensors for large-scale detection and diagnostic applications. Herein, we report a multifunctional MXene-based 2D nanostructure decorated with enzyme mimetic cerium oxide nanoparticle (MXCeO2) as a novel platform and catalytic amplifier for electrochemical biosensors, specifically targeting the detection of oxidase enzyme substrates. We demonstrate enhanced catalytic efficiency of the MXCeO2 for the reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and its ability to immobilize oxidase enzymes, such as glucose oxidase, lactate oxidase and xanthine oxidase. The designed biosensors exhibit high selectivity, stability, and sensitivity, achieving detection limits of 0.8 μM H2O2, 0.49 μM glucose, 3.6 μM lactate and 1.7 μM hypoxanthine, when the MXCeO2 and their respective enzymes were used. The MXCeO2 was successfully incorporated into a wearable fabric demonstrating high sensitivity for lactate measurements in sweat. The unique combination of MXenes with CeO2 offers excellent conductivity, catalytic efficiency and enhanced enzyme loading, demonstrating potential of the MXCeO2 as a catalytically active material to boost efficiency of oxidase enzyme reactions. This design can be used as a general platform for increasing the sensitivity of enzyme based biosensors and advance the development of electrochemical biosensors for a variety of applications.

Abstract
It is a challenging and meaningful task to design an enzyme electrochemical biosensor that can maintain high sensitivity while improving stability. In this study, we constructed an enzyme electrochemical biosensor by preparing nanocomposites with multi-stable interface structures. Specifically, the nanocomposite (PGOx@MXene/CS) was prepared by efficient electrostatic assembly of GOx polynanogel (PGOx) onto MXene nanosheets. PGOx could enhance enzyme stability, while the extensive the large specific surface area of MXene could realize the efficient loading of nanocapsules (PGOx) and catalyze the decomposition of toxic intermediate H2O2, thereby reducing its influence on the stability of enzyme. The linear range of the constructed glucose sensor was 0.03-16.5 mM, the sensitivity was 48.98 μA mM-1·cm-2, and the detection limit was 3.1 μM. After 200 cycles, the current still remained at 85.83% of the initial current value. The high sensitivity, excellent selectivity and great reproducibility verified the effectiveness of the system we constructed. The multi-stable enzyme electrochemical biosensor had a wide application prospect in stable and continuous blood glucose detection.

Construction of electrochemical biosensors based on MoSe 2@1T-MoS 2 heterojunction for the sensitive and rapid detection of miRNA-155 biomarker in breast cancer. Bioelectrochemistry 2023; 154:108541. [PMID: 37579553 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2023.108541] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2023] [Revised: 08/03/2023] [Accepted: 08/04/2023] [Indexed: 08/16/2023]
Abstract
MiRNA-155 is a typical biomarker for breast cancer. Since its low concentration in the physiological environment and the limitations of conventional miRNA detection methods like Northern imprinting and RT-qPCR, convenient, real-time, and rapid detection methods are urgently needed. In this work, an electrochemical biosensor was constructed based on the flower-like MoSe2@1T-MoS2 heterojunction electrode material and specific RNA recognition probes, which can realize the rapid determination of miRNA-155 content with a wide detection range from 1 fM to 1 nM and a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.34 fM. Furthermore, the contents of miRNA-155 in blood samples of tumor-bearing mice and normal mice were measured as 724.93 pM and 21.42 pM, respectively by this biosensor, demonstrating its strong identification ability and miRNA-155 can be regarded as an ideal diagnostic marker. On this basis, a portable sensor platform was designed for on-site detection simulation and showed good recovery efficiency from 95.80% to 98.69%. Meanwhile, compared with the standard detection method RT-qPCR, the accuracy and reliability of the biosensor were verified, indicating that the biosensor has the potential to provide point-of-care testing (POCT) for the early diagnosis of breast cancer.

Moreover, nanocomposites, polymer, and MXenes-based electrochemical sensors have also been discussed, in which such materials are being used to further enhance the sensitivity of these sensors. Furthermore, nanocomposite-based photo-electrochemical sensors and the market availability of biosensors including AMX have also been discussed briefly. Finally, the conclusion, challenges, and future perspectives of the above-mentioned sensing techniques for AMX detection are presented.

Abstract
MXenes are a class of 2D nanomaterials with exceptional tailor-made properties such as mechano-ceramic nature, rich chemistry, and hydrophilicity, to name a few. However, one of the most challenging issues in any composite/hybrid system is the interfacial wetting. Having a superior integrity of a given composite system is a direct consequence of the proper wettability. While wetting is a fundamental feature, dictating many physical and chemical attributes, most of the common nanomaterials possesses poor affinity due to hydrophobic nature, making them hard to be easily dispersed in a given composite. Thanks to low contact angle, MXenes can offer themselves as an ideal candidate for manufacturing different nano-hybrid structures. Herein this review, it is aimed to particularly study the wettability of MXenes. In terms of the layout of the present study, MXenes are first briefly introduced, and then, the wettability phenomenon is discussed in detail. Upon reviewing the sporadic research efforts conducted to date, a particular attention is paid on the current challenges and research pitfalls to light up the future perspectives. It is strongly believed that taking the advantage of MXene's rich hydrophilic surface may have a revolutionizing role in the fabrication of advanced materials with exceptional features.

Abstract
The mutations of bacteria due to the excessive use of antibiotics, and generation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria have made the development of new antibacterial compounds a necessity. MXenes have emerged as biocompatible transition metal carbide structures with extensive biomedical applications. This is related to the MXenes' unique combination of properties, including multifarious elemental compositions, 2D-layered structure, large surface area, abundant surface terminations, and excellent photothermal and photoelectronic properties. The focus of this review is the antibacterial application of MXenes, which has attracted the attention of researchers since 2016. A quick overview of the synthesis strategies of MXenes is provided and then summarizes the effect of various factors (including structural properties, optical properties, surface charges, flake size, and dispersibility) on the biocidal activity of MXenes. The main mechanisms for deactivating bacteria by MXenes are discussed in detail including rupturing of the bacterial membrane by sharp edges of MXenes nanoflakes, generating the reactive oxygen species (ROS), and photothermal deactivating of bacteria. Hybridization of MXenes with other organic and inorganic materials can result in materials with improved biocidal activities for different applications such as wound dressings and water purification. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of MXene nanomaterials as biocidal agents are presented.

Abstract
Screen-printing technology is a game changer in many fields including electrochemical biosensing. Two-dimensional nanomaterial MXene Ti3C2Tx was integrated as a nanoplatform to immobilise enzyme sarcosine oxidase (SOx) onto the interface of screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs). A miniaturised, portable, and cost-effective nanobiosensor was constructed using chitosan as a biocompatible glue for the ultrasensitive detection of prostate cancer biomarker sarcosine. The fabricated device was characterised with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Sarcosine was detected indirectly via the amperometric detection of H2O2 formed during enzymatic reaction. The nanobiosensor could detect sarcosine down to 7.0 nM with a maximal peak current output at 4.10 ± 0.35 × 10−5 A using only 100 µL of a sample per measurement. The assay run in 100 μL of an electrolyte showed the first linear calibration curve in a concentration window of up to 5 μM with a slope of 2.86 μA·μM−1, and the second linear calibration curve in the range of 5–50 μM with a slope of 0.32 ± 0.01 μA·μM−1 (R2 = 0.992). The device provided a high recovery index of 92.5% when measuring an analyte spiked into artificial urine, and could be used for detection of sarcosine in urine for at least a period of 5 weeks after the preparation.

Abstract
The endless development in nanotechnology has introduced new vitality in device fabrication including biosensor design for biomedical applications. With outstanding features like suitable biocompatibility, good electrical and thermal conductivity, wide surface area and catalytic activity, nanomaterials have been considered excellent and promising immobilisation candidates for the development of high-impact biosensors after they emerged. Owing to these reasons, the present review deals with the efficient use of nanomaterials as immobilisation candidates for biosensor fabrication. These include the implementation of carbon nanomaterials-graphene and its derivatives, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanoparticles, carbon nanodots-and MXenes, likewise their synergistic impact when merged with metal oxide nanomaterials. Furthermore, we also discuss the origin of the synthesis of some nanomaterials, the challenges associated with the use of those nanomaterials and the chemistry behind their incorporation with other materials for biosensor design. The last section covers the prospects for the development and application of the highlighted nanomaterials.

Abstract
The long-running Covid-19 pandemic has forced researchers across the globe to develop novel sensors and sensor materials for detecting minute quantities of biogenic viruses with high accuracy in a short period. In this context, MXene galleries comprising carbon/nitride two-dimensional nanolayered materials have emerged as excellent host materials in chemical gas sensors owing to their multiple advantages, including high surface area, high electrical conductivity, good thermal/chemical conductivity and chemical stability, composition diversity, and layer-spacing tunability; furthermore, they are popular in clinical, medical, food production, and chemical industries. This review summarizes recent advances in the synthesis, structure, and gas-sensing properties of MXene materials. Current opportunities and future challenges for obtaining MXene-based chemical gas sensors with high sensitivity, selectivity, response/recovery time, and chemical durability are addressed. This review provides a rational and in-depth understanding of the relationship between the gas-sensing properties of MXenes and structure/components, which will promote the further development of two-dimensional MXene-based gas sensors for technical device fabrication and industrial processing applications.

Abstract
MXene emerged as decent 2D material and has been exploited for numerous applications in the last decade. The remunerations of the ideal metallic conductivity, optical absorbance, mechanical stability, higher heterogeneous electron transfer rate, and good redox capability have made MXene a potential candidate for biosensing applications. The hydrophilic nature, biocompatibility, antifouling, and anti-toxicity properties have opened avenues for MXene to perform in vitro and in vivo analysis. In this review, the concept, operating principle, detailed mechanism, and characteristic properties are comprehensively assessed and compiled along with breakthroughs in MXene fabrication and conjugation strategies for the development of unique electrochemical and optical biosensors. Further, the current challenges are summarized and suggested future aspects. This review article is believed to shed some light on the development of MXene for biosensing and will open new opportunities for the future advanced translational application of MXene bioassays.

Abstract
Ethanol is a harmful volatile organic compound (VOC) for human health. Currently, zinc oxide (ZnO) is one of the most popular metal oxide semiconductors for VOCs detection but suffering from a lack of selectivity, poor response, and slow response/recovery speeds. Herein, we successfully synthesized the ZnO/Ti3C2Txnanocomposites via a facile hydrothermal method, in which ZnO nanoparticles were uniformly grown on two-dimensional (2D) Ti3C2Txnanosheets. As a result, the ZnO/Ti3C2Txnanocomposites showed a significant improvement in the ethanol-sensing performance, when it compared to the pure ZnO and Ti3C2Txsamples. In particular, ZnO doped with 5 mg of Ti3C2Txshowed an ultra-high response (79) to 100 ppm ethanol, a short response/recovery time (22 s/34 s to 50 ppm ethanol), a low limit of detection (1 ppm) and a long-term stability. The excellent ethanol sensing properties are mainly attributed to the coupling effect between ZnO and Ti3C2Txof composites. The ZnO nanoparticles are uniformly distributed on the 2D Ti3C2Txplatform, which can provide more gas adsorption sites. Simultaneously, the presence of hybrid heterojunctions further enhances the response in the sensing process.

Abstract
The MXene family of two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides already includes ~50 members with distinct numbers of atomic layers, stoichiometric compositions and solid solutions, in-plane or out-of-plane ordering of atoms, and a variety of surface terminations. MXenes have shown properties that make them attractive for applications ranging from energy storage to electronics and medicine. Although this compositional variability allows fine-tuning of the MXene properties, it also creates challenges during the analysis of MXenes because of the presence of multiple light elements (for example, H, C, N, O, and F) in close proximity. Here, we show depth profiling of single particles of MXenes and their parent MAX phases with atomic resolution using ultralow-energy secondary-ion mass spectrometry. We directly detect oxygen in the carbon sublattice, thereby demonstrating the existence of oxycarbide MXenes. We also determine the composition of adjacent surface termination layers and show their interaction with each other. Analysis of the metal sublattice shows that Mo2TiAlC2 MAX exhibits perfect out-of-plane ordering, whereas Cr2TiAlC2 MAX exhibits some intermixing between Cr and Ti in the inner transition metal layer. Our results showcase the capabilities of the developed secondary-ion mass spectrometry technique to probe the composition of layered and two-dimensional materials with monoatomic-layer precision.

Abstract
In today’s world, the use of biosensors occupies a special place in a variety of fields such as agriculture and industry. New biosensor technologies can identify biological compounds accurately and quickly. One of these technologies is the phenomenon of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in the development of biosensors based on their optical properties, which allow for very sensitive and specific measurements of biomolecules without time delay. Therefore, various nanomaterials have been introduced for the development of SPR biosensors to achieve a high degree of selectivity and sensitivity. The diagnosis of deadly diseases such as cancer depends on the use of nanotechnology. Smart MXene quantum dots (SMQDs), a new class of nanomaterials that are developing at a rapid pace, are perfect for the development of SPR biosensors due to their many advantageous properties. Moreover, SMQDs are two-dimensional (2D) inorganic segments with a limited number of atomic layers that exhibit excellent properties such as high conductivity, plasmonic, and optical properties. Therefore, SMQDs, with their unique properties, are promising contenders for biomedicine, including cancer diagnosis/treatment, biological sensing/imaging, antigen detection, etc. In this review, SPR biosensors based on SMQDs applied in biomedical applications are discussed. To achieve this goal, an introduction to SPR, SPR biosensors, and SMQDs (including their structure, surface functional groups, synthesis, and properties) is given first; then, the fabrication of hybrid nanoparticles (NPs) based on SMQDs and the biomedical applications of SMQDs are discussed. In the next step, SPR biosensors based on SMQDs and advanced 2D SMQDs-based nanobiosensors as ultrasensitive detection tools are presented. This review proposes the use of SMQDs for the improvement of SPR biosensors with high selectivity and sensitivity for biomedical applications.

Abstract
MXene is a rapidly emerging group of two-dimensional (2D) multifunctional nanomaterials, drawing huge attention from researchers of a broad scientific field. Reporting the synthesis of MXene was the following breakthrough in 2D materials following the discovery of graphene. MXene is considered the most recent developments of materials, including transition metal carbonitrides, nitrides, and carbides synthesized by etching or mechanical-based exfoliation of selective MAX phases. MXene has a plethora of prodigious properties such as unique interlayer spacing, high ion and electron transport, large surface area, excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, exceptional volumetric capacitance, thermal shock, and oxidation resistance, easily machinable and inherently hydrophilic, and biocompatibility. Owing to the abundance of tailorable surface function groups, these properties can be further enhanced by surface functionalization with covalent and non-covalent modifications via numerous surface functionalization methods. Therefore, MXene finds their way to a plethora of applications in numerous fields including catalysis, membrane separation, energy storage, sensing, and biomedicine. Here, the focus is on reviewing the structure, synthesis techniques, and functionalization methods of MXene. Furthermore, MXene-based detection platforms in different sensing applications are survived. Great attention is given to reviewing the applications of MXene in the detection of biomolecules, pathogenic bacteria and viruses, cancer biomarkers food contaminants and mycotoxins, and hazardous pollutants. Lastly, the future perspective of MXene-based biosensors as a next-generation diagnostics tool is discussed. Crucial visions are introduced for materials science and sensing communities to better route while investigating the potential of MXene for creating innovative detection mechanisms.

Abstract
Carbon-related materials are now widely investigated in a various industrial field due to their excellent and unique qualities. It must be tailored to the application in such a way that it fits the application. At the same time, it needs to be generated in sufficient quantities for commercial use, and the synthesis method is the major sticking point here. Because most new materials are discovered by chance, the synthesis process described here may not be the most effective way to create them. The research is merely a steppingstone to discovering a different approach, and it will continue until the substance is no longer being used. If you're developing materials for any purpose, synthesis processes are essential. Fullerene, carbon nanotubes (CNT), graphene, and MXene are only a few of the carbon-based compounds discussed in this overview study, which also gives a brief prognosis on the materials future. Furthermore, the environmental application of these carbon materials was discussed and commented.

Abstract
Two-dimensional materials (2DMs) exhibited great potential for applications in materials science, energy storage, environmental science, biomedicine, sensors/biosensors, and others due to their unique physical, chemical, and biological properties. In this review, we present recent advances in the fabrication of 2DM-based electrochemical sensors and biosensors for applications in food safety and biomolecular detection that are related to human health. For this aim, firstly, we introduced the bottom-up and top-down synthesis methods of various 2DMs, such as graphene, transition metal oxides, transition metal dichalcogenides, MXenes, and several other graphene-like materials, and then we demonstrated the structure and surface chemistry of these 2DMs, which play a crucial role in the functionalization of 2DMs and subsequent composition with other nanoscale building blocks such as nanoparticles, biomolecules, and polymers. Then, the 2DM-based electrochemical sensors/biosensors for the detection of nitrite, heavy metal ions, antibiotics, and pesticides in foods and drinks are introduced. Meanwhile, the 2DM-based sensors for the determination and monitoring of key small molecules that are related to diseases and human health are presented and commented on. We believe that this review will be helpful for promoting 2DMs to construct novel electronic sensors and nanodevices for food safety and health monitoring.

Since the discovery of MXenes at Drexel University in the United States in 2011, there has been extensive research regarding various applications of MXenes including environmental remediation. MXenes with a general formula of Mn+1XnTx are a class of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides with unique chemical and physical characteristics as nanomaterials. MXenes feature characteristics such as high conductivity, hydrophobicity, and large specific surface areas that are attracting attention from researchers in many fields including environmental water engineering such as desalination and wastewater treatment as well as designing and building efficient sensors to detect hazardous pollutants in water. In this study, we review recent developments in MXene-based nanocomposites for electrochemical (bio) sensing with a particular focus on the detection of hazardous pollutants, such as organic components, pesticides, nitrite, and heavy metals. Integration of these 2D materials in electrochemical enzyme-based and affinity-based biosensors for environmental pollutants is also discussed. In addition, a summary of the key challenges and future remarks are presented. Although this field is relatively new, future research on biosensors of MXene-based nanocomposites need to exploit the remarkable properties of these 2D materials.

Abstract
2D MXene-Ti3C2Tχ has demonstrated promising application prospects in various fields; however, it fails to function properly in biosensor setups due to restacking and anodic oxidation problems. To expand beyond these existing limitations, an effective strategy to for modifying the MXene by covalently grafting first-generation poly(amidoamine) dendrimers onto an MXene in situ (MXene@PAMAM) was reported herein. When used as a conjugated template, the MXene not only preserved the high conductivity but also conferred a specific 2D architecture and large specific surface areas for anchoring PAMAM. The PAMAM, an efficient spacer and stabilizer, simultaneously suppressed the substantial restacking and oxidation of the MXene, which endowed this hybrid with improved electrochemical performance compared to that of the bare MXene in terms of favorable conductivity and stability under anodic potential. Moreover, the massive amino terminals of PAMAM offer abundant active sites for adsorbing Au nanoparticles (AuNPs). The resulting 3D hierarchical nanoarchitecture, AuNPs/MXene@PAMAM, had advanced structural merits that led to its superior electrochemical performance in biosensing. As a proof of concept, this MXene@PAMAM-based nanobiosensing platform was applied to develop an immunosensor for detecting human cardiac troponin T (cTnT). A fast, sensitive, and highly selective response toward the target in the presence of a [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- redox marker was realized, ensuring a wide detection of 0.1-1000 ng/mL with an LOD of 0.069 ng/mL. The sensor's signal only decreased by 4.38% after 3 weeks, demonstrating that it exhibited satisfactory stability and better results than previously reported MXene-based biosensors. This work has potential applicability in the bioanalysis of cTnT and other biomarkers and paves a new path for fabricating high-performance MXenes for biomedical applications and electrochemical engineering.

CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 286:131478.

Abstract
Due to the widespread usage of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in various consumer and industrial products (Examples: fuel cells and antibacterial agents), it became important to accurately detect H2O2 concentration in environmental, medical and food samples. Herein, titanium carbide Ti3C2Tx (MXene) was synthesized by using Ti, Al and C powders at high-temperature. Then, nanocrystalline iron oxide (α-Fe2O3) was obtained from a single solid-phase method. Using Ti3C2Tx and Fe2O3 powders, Ti3C2Tx-Fe2O3 nanocomposite was prepared by ultrasonication. As-synthesized, Ti3C2Tx-Fe2O3 composite had been characterized by UV-Visible (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. The Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) were decorated on the surface of Ti3C2Tx as observed by high resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). The Ti3C2Tx nanosheets were formed with the average size of 400-500 nm. HR-SEM images of α-Fe2O3 showed that the coral-like particles with the average length ~5 μm were obtained. The electrochemical properties of the individual (Ti3C2Tx and α-Fe2O3) and composite materials (Ti3C2Tx-Fe2O3) were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV). Ti3C2Tx-Fe2O3 nanocomposite modified electrode had exhibited potent electro-catalytic activity for H2O2 reduction by reducing the overpotential about 320 mV and a linear response was recorded from 10 nM to 1 μM H2O2. The optimization of various parameters such as material composition ratio, amount of catalyst, effects of pH, scan rate and interference effects with other biomolecules were carried out. In addition, the kinetic parameters such as rate constant, diffusion coefficient and the active surface area of the electrodes were calculated. Moreover, the Ti3C2Tx-Fe2O3 composite modified electrode was used successfully to detect H2O2 in food and urine samples. We believe that Ti3C2Tx-Fe2O3 composite based materials could be used for the fabrication of non-enzymatic H2O2 sensors for medical diagnosis, food safety and environmental monitoring applications.

Abstract
Molten-salt etching of Ti3AlC2 MAX phase offers a promising route to produce 2D Ti3C2Tz (MXene) nanosheets without hazardous HF. However, molten-salt etching results in MXene clays that are not water dispersible, thus preventing further processing. This occurs because molten-salt etching results in a lack of -OH terminal groups rendering the MXene clay hydrophobic. Here, we demonstrate a method that produces water-dispersible Ti3C2Tz nanosheets using molten salt (SnF2) to etch. In molten salt etching, SnF2 diffuses between the layers to form AlF3 and Sn as byproducts, separating the layers. The stable, aqueous Ti3C2Tz dispersion yields a ζ potential of -31.7 mV, because of -OH terminal groups introduced by KOH washing. X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy confirm the formation of Ti3C2Tz etched clay with substantial d-spacing as compared with clay etched with HF. This work is the first to use molten salt etching to successfully prepare colloidally stable aqueous dispersions of Ti3C2Tz nanosheets.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides (MXene) have emerged as a rising family of atomic layered nanomaterials which undergoes intensive investigations in interdisciplinary applications. The large surface-to-volume ratio, excellent mechanical strength, desirable biocompatibility, along with tunable electronic and optical properties, render 2D MXenes exceptional attractive as versatile nanoplatforms for biosensing. Herein, advanced progress and novel paradigms of MXene-based biosensors are reviewed, focusing on the combination of MXenes with various detection techniques that promotes target recognition and signal transducing. Regarding the nature of transducing signals, MXene-based biosensors are categorized into two groups where MXenes serve as electrical platforms or optical platforms, respectively. The merits of MXenes are critically compared with other 2D materials to illustrate the distinctive advantages of MXenes in biosensing, while challenges such as environmental vulnerability was discussed to guide the sensor design. Facing with the rapid development of wearable electronics and internet of medical things, as well as escalating demanding in precision medicine, perspectives are provided to elucidate the potential of MXenes in propelling advances in these trending biomedical applications.

Abstract
Various fields of study consider MXene a revolutionary 2D material. Particularly in the field of sensors, the metal-like high electrical conductivity and large surface area of MXenes are desirable characteristics as an alternative sensor material that can transcend the boundaries of existing sensor technology. This critical review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in MXene-based sensor technology and a roadmap for commercializing MXene-based sensors. The existing sensors are systematically categorized as chemical, biological, and physical sensors. Each category is then classified into various subcategories depending on the electrical, electrochemical, structural, or optical sensing mechanism, which are the four fundamental working mechanisms of sensors. Representative structural and electrical approaches for boosting the performance of each category are presented. Finally, factors that hinder commercializing MXene-based sensors are discussed, and several breakthroughs in realizing commercially available MXene-based sensors are suggested. This review provides broad insights pertaining to previous and existing MXene-based sensor technology and perspectives on the future generation of low-cost, high-performance, and multimodal sensors for soft-electronics applications.
