Abstract
4-Chlorophenol (4CP) is a well-known environmental contaminant often detected in wastewater, generally arising from industrial processes such as chemical manufacture, pharmaceutical production, and pesticide formulation. 4CP is a matter of great concern since it is persistent and has the potential to have harmful impacts on both aquatic ecosystems and human health, owing to its hazardous and mutagenic properties. Hence, degradation of 4CP is of utmost significance. This research investigates the photocatalytic degradation of 4CP using a novel Z-scheme heterojunction nanocomposite composed of MXene and ZIF-9. The nanocomposite is synthesized through a two-step hydrothermal method and thoroughly characterized by using XRD, SEM, UV-visible spectroscopy, zeta potential, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy studies, confirming successful fabrication with improved surface properties. The comparative photocatalytic degradation studies between pristine materials and the nanocomposite were performed, and significant enhancement in performance was observed. The effect of pH on the degradation efficiency is also explored and correlated with the surface charge. The Z-scheme photocatalysis mechanism is proposed, which is supported by time-resolved photoluminescence studies and scavenger experiments. The reusability of the nanocomposite is also evaluated. The study contributes to the development of efficient and sustainable photocatalysts for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Since the discovery of graphene, two-dimensional (2D) materials have gained widespread attention, owing to their appealing properties for various technological applications. Etched from their parent MAX phases, MXene is a newly emerged 2D material that was first reported in 2011. Since then, a lot of theoretical and experimental work has been done on more than 30 MXene structures for various applications. Given this, in the present review, we have tried to cover the multidisciplinary aspects of MXene including its structures, synthesis methods, and electronic, mechanical, optoelectronic, and magnetic properties. From an application point of view, we explore MXene-based supercapacitors, gas sensors, strain sensors, biosensors, electromagnetic interference shielding, microwave absorption, memristors, and artificial synaptic devices. Also, the impact of MXene-based materials on the characteristics of respective applications is systematically explored. This review provides the current status of MXene nanomaterials for various applications and possible future developments in this field.

Abstract
The outstanding chemical and physical properties of 2D materials, together with their atomically thin nature, make them ideal candidates for metaphotonic device integration and construction, which requires deep subwavelength light-matter interaction to achieve optical functionalities beyond conventional optical phenomena observed in naturally available materials. In addition to their intrinsic properties, the possibility to further manipulate the properties of 2D materials via chemical or physical engineering dramatically enhances their capability, evoking new science on light-matter interaction, leading to leaped performance of existing functional devices and giving birth to new metaphotonic devices that were unattainable previously. Comprehensive understanding of the intrinsic properties of 2D materials, approaches and capabilities for chemical and physical engineering methods, the resulting property modifications and novel functionalities, and applications of metaphotonic devices are provided in this review. Through reviewing the detailed progress in each aspect and the state-of-the-art achievement, insightful analyses of the outstanding challenges and future directions are elucidated in this cross-disciplinary comprehensive review with the aim to provide an overall development picture in the field of 2D material metaphotonics and promote rapid progress in this fast emerging and prosperous field.

Abstract
Delayed diagnosis of cancer using conventional diagnostic modalities needs to be addressed to reduce the mortality rate of cancer. Recently, 2D nanomaterial-enabled advanced biosensors have shown potential towards the early diagnosis of cancer. The high surface area, surface functional groups availability, and excellent electrical conductivity of MXene make it the 2D material of choice for the fabrication of advanced electrochemical biosensors for disease diagnostics. MXene-enabled electrochemical aptasensors have shown great promise for the detection of cancer biomarkers with a femtomolar limit of detection. Additionally, the stability, ease of synthesis, good reproducibility, and high specificity offered by MXene-enabled aptasensors hold promise to be the mainstream diagnostic approach. In this review, the design and fabrication of MXene-based electrochemical aptasensors for the detection of cancer biomarkers have been discussed. Besides, various synthetic processes and useful properties of MXenes which can be tuned and optimized easily and efficiently to fabricate sensitive biosensors have been elucidated. Further, futuristic sensing applications along with challenges will be deliberated herein.

Abstract
The electronic and magnetic properties of the two-dimensional Ti3C2MXenes have attracted a lot of interests due to its potential applications. In this paper, Ti3C2TxMXenes and Mn-doped Ti3C2TxMXenes are synthesized and investigated. The experimental data shows that Mn2+ions are homogeneously and randomly intercalated between Ti3C2sheets as function terminals, which increase the interlayer distance between Ti3C2sheets and offer a mass of uncoupled magnetic moment. The temperature dependence of the electric resistivity of both samples show similar complex behavior although the resistivity increases dramatically as Mn doping. The inter-flake variable range hopping (VRH) dominates the low temperature electric transport behavior, while the inter-flake thermally activated hopping as well as the metallic intra-flake transport competing with the inter-flake VRH play important roles at high temperature. The increasing resistivity of the Mn-doped sample could be attributed to the increase of the interlayer distance and the enhancement of the localization of the transport electrons after Mn2+ions intercalation.
