Abstract
Air pollution causes extreme toxicological repercussions for human health and ecology. The management of airborne bacteria and viruses has become an essential goal of air quality control. Existing pathogens in the air, including bacteria, archaea, viruses, and fungi, can have severe effects on human health. The photocatalysis process is one of the favorable approaches for eliminating them. The oxidative nature of semiconductor-based photocatalysts can be used to fight viral activation as a green, sustainable, and promising approach with significant promise for environmental clean-up. The photocatalysts show wonderful performance under moderate conditions while generating negligible by-products. Airborne viruses can be inactivated by various photocatalytic processes, such as chemical oxidation, toxicity due to the metal ions released from photocatalysts composed of metals, and morphological damage to viruses. This review paper provides a thorough and evaluative analysis of current information on using photocatalytic oxidation to deactivate viruses.

Abstract
Formic acid (FA) holds significant potential as a liquid hydrogen storage medium. However, it is important to improve the reaction rates and extend the practical applications of FA dehydrogenation and Cr(VI) reduction through the development of efficient heterogeneous catalysts. This study reports the synthesis of a uniformly dispersed PdAuIr nanoparticles (NPs) catalyst loaded with amine groups covalent organic frameworks (COFs). The alloyed NPs demonstrated exceptional effectiveness in FA dehydrogenation rate and Cr(VI) reduction. The initial turnover of frequency (TOF) value for FA dehydrogenation without additives was 9970 h-1 at 298 K, the apparent activation energy (Ea) was 30.3 kJ/mol and the rate constant (k) for Cr(VI) reduction was 0.742 min-1. Additionally, it showcased the ability to undergo recycling up to six times with minimal degradation in performance. The results indicate that its remarkable catalytic performance can be attributed primarily to the favorable mass transfer attributes of the aminated COFs supports, the strong metal-support interaction (SMSI), and the synergistic effects among the metals. This study offers a novel perspective on the advancement of efficient and durable heterogeneous catalysts with diverse capabilities, thereby making significant contributions to the fields of energy and environmental preservation.

Abstract
Transition metal phosphides are highly efficient catalysts that do not rely on noble metals, which have shown great potential in replacing noble metal catalysts and contributing to the advancement of the electrocatalytic hydrogen production industry. To further enhance the catalytic performance of transition metal phosphides, researchers have discovered that cationic vacancy defects can be utilized to regulate their electronic structure, thereby improving their catalytic properties. In this research, we present the successful synthesis of a bifunctional Ni2P electrocatalyst (VFe-Ni2P) with cationic vacancy defects through electrodeposition and acid etching techniques. The introduction of cationic vacancies after acid etching is confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The VFe-Ni2P electrocatalyst demonstrates excellent catalytic performance in alkaline environments, achieving a current density of 10 mA∙cm-2 at an overpotential of 52 mV for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and the same current density with an overpotential of 154 mV for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Additionally, the VFe-Ni2P/NF electrode exhibits remarkable stability over 1000 cyclic voltammetric cycles for both HER and OER. This study presents a novel approach for the synthesis and performance control of highly-efficient transition metal phosphide electrocatalysts, which holds significant importance in the development and design of new energy materials.

Abstract
The electrochemical reduction of CO2 to diverse value-added chemicals is a unique, environmentally friendly approach for curbing greenhouse gas emissions while addressing sluggish catalytic activity and low Faradaic efficiency (FE) of electrocatalysts. Here, zeolite-imidazolate-frameworks-8 (ZIF-8) containing various transition metal ions-Ni, Fe, and Cu-at varying concentrations upon doping are fabricated for the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) to carbon monoxide (CO) without further processing. Atom coordination environments and theoretical electrocatalytic performance are scrutinized via X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Upon optimized Cu doping on ZIF-8, Cu0.5 Zn0.5 /ZIF-8 achieves a high partial current density of 11.57 mA cm-2 and maximum FE for CO of 88.5% at -1.0 V (versus RHE) with a stable catalytic activity over 6 h. Furthermore, the electron-rich sp2 C atom facilitates COOH* promotion after Cu doping of ZIF-8, leading to a local effect between the zinc-nitrogen (Zn-N4 ) and copper-nitrogen (Cu-N4 ) moieties. Additionally, the advanced CO2 RR pathway is illustrated from various perspectives, including the pre-H-covered state under the CO2 RR. The findings expand the pool of efficient metal-organic framework (MOF)-based CO2 RR catalysts, deeming them viable alternatives to conventional catalysts.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) phosphorus-rich phosphides generally preserve the excellent electronic properties of phosphorene, making them promising photocatalysts for water splitting. Despite tremendous efforts in the search for potential photocatalysts in 2D phosphides, few known 2D phosphides fully meet the requirements for photocatalytic water splitting. Herein, we systemically investigate a set of penta-MP5 (M = B, Al, Ga, and In) monolayers by first-principles calculations and identify them as potential photocatalysts for water splitting. These penta-MP5 monolayers are found to feature favorable bandgaps of about 2.70 eV with appropriate band edge positions, a high carrier mobility of 1 × 104 cm-2 V-1 s-1, an excellent optical absorption coefficient (OAC) of 1 × 105 cm-1, and a good solar-to-hydrogen (STH) efficiency of 8%. Meanwhile, free energy calculations indicate that these penta-MP5 monolayers present both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) photocatalytic activities under light conditions. All these excellent properties demonstrate that penta-MP5 monolayers are suitable candidates as photocatalysts for promising applications in overall water splitting.

Abstract
The separation and recycling of rare earth elements (REEs) are very important owing to the high demand, limited resource, specific usages, and environmental issues. In this work, two-dimensional Ti3C2Tx MXene was introduced to remove REEs (Nd(III) and La(III)) from water, and its physicochemical properties were conducted by HRTEM, SEM-EDS, XRD, FTIR, and XPS. Various parameters, such as initial pH, REEs initial concentration, contact time, and temperature, were investigated by batch experiment, respectively. Furthermore, the adsorption kinetic and isotherm were examined to analyze the adsorption behavior and adsorption mechanism. Nd(III) and La(III) have a good affinity with Ti3C2Tx MXene surface functional groups (-F, -OH, and containing oxygen groups). The maximum adsorption capacities of Ti3C2Tx MXene for Nd(III) and La(III) were 229.85 mg/g and 175.83 mg/g at T = 333 K, respectively. The adsorption data of Nd(III) on Ti3C2Tx MXene fitted well with the Freundlich isotherms model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. However, the best fitting for La(III) adsorption on Ti3C2Tx MXene was described by both pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order model. Thermodynamic study of Nd(III) and La(III) adsorption on Ti3C2Tx MXene showed that the reaction was a spontaneous and endothermic process. These results indicated Ti3C2Tx MXene had a great potential in extracting REEs from an aqueous solution.

Abstract
The urgent issues related to the catalytic processes and energy applications have accelerated the development of hybrid and smart materials. MXenes are a new family of atomic layered nanostructured materials that require considerable research. Tailorable morphologies, strong electrical conductivity, great chemical stability, large surface-to-volume ratios, tunable structures, among others are some significant characteristics that make MXenes appropriate for various electrochemical reactions, including dry reforming of methane, hydrogen evolution reaction, methanol oxidation reaction, sulfur reduction reaction, Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction, water-gas shift reaction, and so forth. MXenes, on the other hand, have a fundamental drawback of agglomeration, as well as poor long-term recyclability and stability. One possibility for overcoming the restrictions is the fusion of nanosheets or nanoparticles with MXenes. Herein, the relevant literature on the synthesis, catalytic stability and reusability, and applications of several MXene-based nanocatalysts are deliberated including the merits and cons of the newer MXene-based catalysts.

Abstract
Motivated by the successful synthesis of Janus monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (i.e., MoSSe), we computationally investigated the structural, electronic, optical, and transport properties of functionalized Janus MXenes, namely MM'CT2 (M, M' = Zr, Ti, Hf, M ≠ M', T = -O, -F, -OH). The results of the calculations demonstrate that five stable O-terminated Janus MXenes (ZrTiCO2-I, ZrHfCO2-I, ZrHfCO2-III, HfTiCO2-I, and HfTiCO2-III), exhibit modest bandgaps of 1.37-1.94 eV, visible-light absorption (except for ZrHfCO2-I), high carrier mobility, and promising oxidization capability of photoinduced holes. Additionally, their indirect-gap, spatially separated electron-hole pairs, and the dramatic difference between the mobilities of electrons and holes could significantly limit the recombination of photoinduced electron-hole pairs. Our results indicate that the functionalized Janus MXene monolayers are ideal and promising materials for application in visible light-driven photocatalysis.

Abstract
MXenes, a new family of two-dimensional transition metal carbides or nitrides, have attracted tremendous attention for various applications due to their unique properties such as good electrical conductivity, hydrophilicity, and ion intercalability. In this work, Ti3C2 MXene, or MX, is converted to MX-TiO2 composites using a simple and rapid microwave hydrothermal treatment in HCl/NaCl mixture solution that induces formation of fine TiO2 particles on the MX parent structure and imparts photocatalytic activity to the resulting MX-TiO2 composites. The composites were used for enrofloxacin (ENR), a frequently found contaminating antibiotic, removal from water. The relative amount of the MX and TiO2 can be controlled by controlling the hydrothermal temperature resulting in composites with tunable adsorption/photocatalytic properties. NaCl addition was found to play important role as composites synthesized without NaCl could not adsorb enrofloxacin well. Adding NaCl into the hydrothermal treatment causes sodium ions to be simultaneously intercalated into the composite structure, improving ENR adsorption greatly from 1 to 6 mg ENR/g composite. It also slows down the MX to TiO2 conversion leading to a smaller and more uniform distribution of TiO2 particles on the structure. MX-TiO2/NaCl composites, which have sodium intercalated in their structures, showed both higher ENR adsorption and photocatalytic activity than composites without NaCl despite the latter having higher TiO2 content. Adsorbed ENR on the composites can be efficiently degraded by free radicals generated from the photoexcited TiO2 particles, leading to high photocatalytic degradation efficiency. This demonstrates the synergetic effect between adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of the synthesized compounds.

Abstract
The continuous rise in the amount of industrial and pharmaceutical waste in water sources is an alarming concern. Effective strategies should be developed for the treatment of pharmaceutical industrial waste. Hence the alternative renewable source of energy, such as solar energy, should be utilized for a sustainable future. Herein, a series of Au plasmonic nanoparticle decorated ternary photocatalysts comprising graphitic carbon nitride and Ti3C2 MXene has been designed to degrade colourless pharmaceutical pollutants, cefixime under visible light irradiation. These photocatalysts were synthesized by varying the amount of Ti3C2 MXene, and their catalytic potential was explored. The optimized photocatalyst having 3 wt% Ti3C2 MXene achieved 64.69% removal of the pharmaceutical pollutant, cefixime within 105 min of exposure to visible light. The presence of the Au nanoparticles and MXene in the nanocomposite facilitates the excellent charge carrier separation and increased the number of active sites due to the formation of interfacial contact with graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets. Besides, the plasmonic effect of the Au nanoparticles improves the absorption of light causing enhanced photocatalytic performance of the nanocomposite. Based on the obtained results, a plausible mechanism has been formulated to understand the contribution of different components in photocatalytic activity. In addition, the optimized photocatalyst shows excellent activity and can be reused for up to three cycles without any significant loss in its photocatalytic performance. Overall, the current work provides deeper physical insight into the future development of MXene graphitic carbon nitride-based plasmonic ternary photocatalysts.

Abstract
Photocatalytic water splitting, CO2 reduction, and pollutant degradation have emerged as promising strategies to remedy the existing environmental and energy crises. However, grafting of expensive and less abundant noble-metal cocatalysts on photocatalyst materials is a mandatory practice to achieve enhanced photocatalytic performance owing to the ability of the cocatalysts to extract electrons efficiently from the photocatalyst and enable rapid/enhanced catalytic reaction. Hence, developing highly efficient, inexpensive, and noble-metal-free cocatalysts composed of earth-abundant elements is considered as a noteworthy step toward considering photocatalysis as a more economical strategy. Recently, MXenes (two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides) have shown huge potential as alternatives for noble-metal cocatalysts. MXenes have several excellent properties, including atomically thin 2D morphology, metallic electrical conductivity, hydrophilic surface, and high specific surface area. In addition, they exhibit Gibbs free energy of intermediate H atom adsorption as close to zero and less than that of a commercial Pt-based cocatalyst, a Fermi level position above the H2 generation potential, and an excellent ability to capture and activate CO2 molecules. Therefore, there is a growing interest in MXene-based photocatalyst materials for various photocatalytic events. In this review, we focus on the recent advances in the synthesis of MXenes with 2D and 0D morphologies, the stability of MXenes, and MXene-based photocatalysts for H2 evolution, CO2 reduction, and pollutant degradation. The existing challenges and the possible future directions to enhance the photocatalytic performance of MXene-based photocatalysts are also discussed.

Abstract
Adenine (A) and guanine (G) are mainly found in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) and play a crucial role in genetic information transfer and protein synthesis. In this study, NH2-MIL-53(Fe)/CS/MXene nanocomposites were prepared for detecting guanine and adenine. With high specific surface area, excellent water dispersion, and numerous active sites, MXene (transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides) provides a good platform for loading primitive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). At the same time, the problem of poor conductivity and dispersion of MOFs is solved. The electrochemical catalytic oxidation of adenine and guanine of NH2-MIL-53 (Fe)/CS/MXene nanocomposites was carried out by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Operating voltage of DPV: 0.7-0.9 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) for G, 1.0-1.2 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) for A, 0.8 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), and 1.1 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) for G and A. The concentration ranges for detecting A and G were 3-118 μM and 2-120 μM with detection limits of 0.57 μM and 0.17 μM (S/N = 3), respectively. The nanocomposite was used for detecting G and A in herring sperm DNA, and the content of G and A was found to be about 9 and 11 μM; the RSD values were 3.4 and 1.3%, respectively.

Abstract
Polymeric nanocomposites have been outstanding functional materials and have garnered immense attention as sustainable materials to address multi-disciplinary problems. MXenes have emerged as a newer class of 2D materials that produce metallic conductivity upon interaction with hydrophilic species, and their delamination affords monolayer nanoplatelets of a thickness of about one nm and a side size in the micrometer range. Delaminated MXene has a high aspect ratio, making it an alluring nanofiller for multifunctional polymer nanocomposites. Herein, we have classified and discussed the structure, properties and application of major polysaccharide-based electroactive hydrogels (hyaluronic acid (HA), alginate sodium (SA), chitosan (CS) and cellulose) in biomedical applications, starting with the brief historical account of MXene's development followed by successive discussions on the synthesis methods, structures and properties of nanocomposites encompassing polysaccharides and MXenes, including their biomedical applications, cytotoxicity and biocompatibility aspects. Finally, the MXenes and their utility in the biomedical arena is deliberated with an eye on potential opportunities and challenges anticipated for them in the future, thus promoting their multifaceted applications.

Abstract
Motivated by the recent successful synthesis of Janus monolayer of transition metal (TM) dichalcogenides, MXenes with Janus structures are worthy of further study, concerning its electronic structure and magnetic properties. Here, we study the effect of different transition metal atoms on the structure stability and magnetic and electronic properties of M’MCO2 (M’ and M = V, Cr and Mn). The result shows the output magnetic moment is contributed mainly by the d orbitals of the V, Cr, and Mn atoms. The total magnetic moments of ferromagnetic (FM) configuration and antiferromagnetic (AFM) configuration are affected by coupling types. FM has a large magnetic moment output, while the total magnetic moments of AFM2’s (intralayer AFM/interlayer FM) configuration and AFM3’s (interlayer AFM/intralayer AFM) configuration are close to 0. The band gap widths of VCrCO2, VMnCO2, CrMnCO2, V2CO2, and Cr2CO2 are no more than 0.02 eV, showing metallic properties, while Mn2CO2 is a semiconductor with a 0.7071 eV band gap width. Janus MXenes can regulate the size of band gap, magnetic ground state, and output net magnetic moment. This work achieves the control of the magnetic properties of the available 2D materials, and provides theoretical guidance for the extensive design of novel Janus MXene materials.

Abstract
The COVID-19 infections have posed an unprecedented global health emergency, with nearly three million deaths to date, and have caused substantial economic loss globally. Hence, an urgent exploration of effective and safe diagnostic/therapeutic approaches for minimizing the threat of this highly pathogenic coronavirus infection is needed. As an alternative to conventional diagnosis and antiviral agents, nanomaterials have a great potential to cope with the current or even future health emergency situation with a wide range of applications. Fundamentally, nanomaterials are physically and chemically tunable and can be employed for the next generation nanomaterial-based detection of viral antigens and host antibodies in body fluids as antiviral agents, nanovaccine, suppressant of cytokine storm, nanocarrier for efficient delivery of antiviral drugs at infection site or inside the host cells, and can also be a significant tool for better understanding of the gut microbiome and SARS-CoV-2 interaction. The applicability of nanomaterial-based therapeutic options to cope with the current and possible future pandemic is discussed here.

Abstract
In the present work, facile preparation of MXenes based nanocomposite (MXene-CNTs) through catalytic chemical vapor deposition (cCVD) was demonstrated. The novel design of two and one-dimensional (2D/1D) MXene-CNTs composites for an extraordinary photocatalytic process for removal of Rhodamine B (RhB) using efficient photocatalytic dye degradations was compared to the performance of pure MXene. The surface morphological behavior of MAX, MXene and MXene-CNTs rational design of surface microstructure CNTs anchored on 2D materials MXene nanosheets product was characterized employing scanning electron microscopy (SEM). As-prepared direct growth CNTs by employing CVD method were in the size ranges of 40-90 nm as revealed from SEM images. The crystallographic structures of etching and delaminations of MAX and MXene-CNTs were observed for CNTs diffracted peaks at 2θ = 25.11° in support of (002) plan. The major C-O and (CC) stretching were confirmed. Prepared MXene and MXene-CNTs samples photocatalytic performance was investigated through photocatalytic Rhodamine B (RhB) dye degradation. MXene-based CNTs hybrid nanocomposites photocatalysts activity were estimated. The as-prepared pure MXene-RhB and MXene-CNTs-RhB materials calculated efficiency were 60 % and 75 %, respectively. The CVD preparations of new MXene-CNTs synthesis yield high and explored good successive cycles for hazardous pollutants.

Abstract
The thin-film organic solar cells (OSCs) are currently one of the most promising photovoltaic technologies to effectively harvest the solar energy due to their attractive features of mechanical flexibility, light weight, low-cost manufacturing, and solution-processed large-scale fabrication, etc. However, the relative insufficient light absorption, short exciton diffusion distance, and low carrier mobility of the OSCs determine the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the devices are relatively lower than their inorganic photovoltaic counterparts. To conquer the challenges, the two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, which have excellent photoelectric properties, tunable energy band structure, and solvent compatibility etc., exhibit the great potential to enhance the performance of the OSCs. In this review, we summarize the most recent successful applications of the 2D materials, including graphene, black phosphorus, transition metal dichalcogenides, and g-C3N4, etc., adapted in the charge transporting layer, the active layer, and the electrode of the OSCs, respectively, for boosting the PCE and stability of the devices. The strengths and weaknesses of the 2D materials in the application of OSCs are also reviewed in details. Additionally, the challenges, commercialization potentials, and prospects for the further development of 2D materials-based OSCs are outlined in the end.

Abstract
ZnSe nanodisks:Ti3C2 MXene complex was prepared for the first time. Based on its remarkable photoelectrochemical performance, combined with the enzyme-free toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction, a photoelectrochemical biosensor for the detection of the non-small-cell cancer biomarker ctDNA KRAS G12D was developed. ZnSe nanodisks were in situ grown on Ti3C2 MXene surface by two-step hydrothermal method. The high conductivity and adjustable band gap of MXene significantly enhanced the photoelectric response of ZnSe. Subsequently, the photoelectrochemical biosensor was prepared by combining with the signal amplification function of p-aminophenol and the enzyme-free toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction on the modified ITO electrode surface. Under the optimized conditions, the linear detection range is 0.5 ~ 100.0 fM, and the detection limit is 0.2 fM, which realizes the sensitive detection of KRAS G12D. The photoelectrochemical biosensor constructed opens up a new pathway for the preparation of new Mxene-based composite materials and the research of photoelectrochemical biosensor.

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.

Abstract
In 2019, a novel type of coronavirus emerged in China called SARS-COV-2, known COVID-19, threatens global health and possesses negative impact on people's quality of life, leading to an urgent need for its diagnosis and remedy. On the other hand, the presence of hazardous infectious waste led to the increase of the risk of transmitting the virus by individuals and by hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hence, in this review, we survey previous researches on nanomaterials that can be effective for guiding strategies to deal with the current COVID-19 pandemic and also decrease the hazardous infectious waste in the environment. We highlight the contribution of nanomaterials that possess potential to therapy, prevention, detect targeted virus proteins and also can be useful for large population screening, for the development of environmental sensors and filters. Besides, we investigate the possibilities of employing the nanomaterials in antiviral research and treatment development, examining the role of nanomaterials in antiviral- drug design, including the importance of nanomaterials in drug delivery and vaccination, and for the production of medical equipment. Nanomaterials-based technologies not only contribute to the ongoing SARS- CoV-2 research efforts but can also provide platforms and tools for the understanding, protection, detection and treatment of future viral diseases.

Abstract
Although extensive research is being done to combat SARS-CoV-2, we are yet far away from a robust conclusion or strategy. With an increased amount of vaccine research, nanotechnology has found its way into vaccine technology. Researchers have explored the use of various nanostructures for delivering the vaccines for enhanced efficacy. Apart from acting as delivery platforms, multiple studies have shown the application of inorganic nanoparticles in suppressing the growth as well as transmission of the virus. The present review gives a detailed description of various inorganic nanomaterials which are being explored for combating SARS-CoV-2 along with their role in suppressing the transmission of the virus either through air or by contact with inanimate surfaces. The review further discusses the use of nanoparticles for development of an antiviral coating that may decrease adhesion of SARS-CoV-2. A separate section has been included describing the role of nanostructures in biosensing and diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2. The role of nanotechnology in providing an alternative therapeutic platform along with the role of radionuclides in SARS-CoV-2 has been described briefly. Based on ongoing research and commercialization of this nanoplatform for a viral disease, the nanomaterials show the potential in therapy, biosensing, and diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
Novel two-dimensional ZnO/Ti3C2Tx hybrid photocatalysts with modified surface areas were prepared using a simple calcination technique. The microstructures, crystalline features, and bonding states of the ZnO structure-covered Ti3C2Tx MXenes were closely characterized using various tools. The photoluminescence intensity of the hybrid photocatalyst was greatly reduced compared to the pristine ZnO, while its Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area increased by more than 100 times. Under solar light illumination, the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of the hybrid photocatalyst for organic pollutants (MO, RhB) appeared to be three-fold larger as compared to pristine ZnO. The superb photocatalytic performance of the photocatalyst was attributed to several factors, such as ideal band alignment, Schottky barrier formation, and large surface area. Moreover, the ZnO/Ti3C2Tx hybrid photocatalyst showed excellent cycling stability. These results suggest that the novel hybrid structure may be a potential candidate for removing organic pollutants in wastewater.

As compared to the downhill-type photodegradation reactions, artificial photosynthesis often involves thermodynamic uphill reactions with a large positive change in Gibbs free energy. Recent years have witnessed the effectiveness of MXene in enhancing the photoactivity of MXene-based composites for solar fuel synthesis. In this review, we mainly focus on the applications of MXene-based composites for photocatalytic solar fuel production. We will start from summarizing the general synthesis of MXene-based composite photocatalysts. Then the recent progress on MXene-based composite photocatalysts for solar fuel synthesis, including water splitting for H2 production, CO2 reduction to solar fuels, and N2 fixation for NH3 synthesis is elucidated. The roles of MXene playing in improving the photoactivity of MXene-based composites in these applications have also been discussed. In the last section, perspectives on the future research directions of MXene-based composites towards the applications of artificial photosynthesis are presented.

Abstract
The COVID-19 outbreak has fueled a global demand for effective diagnosis and treatment as well as mitigation of the spread of infection, all through large-scale approaches such as specific alternative antiviral methods and classical disinfection protocols. Based on an abundance of engineered materials identifiable by their useful physicochemical properties through versatile chemical functionalization, nanotechnology offers a number of approaches to cope with this emergency. Here, through a multidisciplinary Perspective encompassing diverse fields such as virology, biology, medicine, engineering, chemistry, materials science, and computational science, we outline how nanotechnology-based strategies can support the fight against COVID-19, as well as infectious diseases in general, including future pandemics. Considering what we know so far about the life cycle of the virus, we envision key steps where nanotechnology could counter the disease. First, nanoparticles (NPs) can offer alternative methods to classical disinfection protocols used in healthcare settings, thanks to their intrinsic antipathogenic properties and/or their ability to inactivate viruses, bacteria, fungi, or yeasts either photothermally or via photocatalysis-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Nanotechnology tools to inactivate SARS-CoV-2 in patients could also be explored. In this case, nanomaterials could be used to deliver drugs to the pulmonary system to inhibit interaction between angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors and viral S protein. Moreover, the concept of "nanoimmunity by design" can help us to design materials for immune modulation, either stimulating or suppressing the immune response, which would find applications in the context of vaccine development for SARS-CoV-2 or in counteracting the cytokine storm, respectively. In addition to disease prevention and therapeutic potential, nanotechnology has important roles in diagnostics, with potential to support the development of simple, fast, and cost-effective nanotechnology-based assays to monitor the presence of SARS-CoV-2 and related biomarkers. In summary, nanotechnology is critical in counteracting COVID-19 and will be vital when preparing for future pandemics.

Atomic Sulfur Passivation Improves the Photoelectrochemical Performance of ZnSe Nanorods. NANOMATERIALS 2020; 10:nano10061081. [PMID: 32486475 PMCID: PMC7353383 DOI: 10.3390/nano10061081] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2020] [Revised: 05/20/2020] [Accepted: 05/21/2020] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
We introduced atomic sulfur passivation to tune the surface sites of heavy metal-free ZnSe nanorods, with a Zn2+-rich termination surface, which are initially capped with organic ligands and under-coordinated with Se. The S2− ions from a sodium sulfide solution were used to partially substitute a 3-mercaptopropionic acid ligand, and to combine with under-coordinated Zn termination atoms to form a ZnS monolayer on the ZnSe surface. This treatment removed the surface traps from the ZnSe nanorods, and passivated defects formed during the previous ligand exchange process, without sacrificing the efficient hole transfer. As a result, without using any co-catalysts, the atomic sulfur passivation increased the photocurrent density of TiO2/ZnSe photoanodes from 273 to 325 μA/cm2. Notably, without using any sacrificial agents, the photocurrent density for sulfur-passivated TiO2/ZnSe nanorod-based photoanodes remained at almost 100% of its initial value after 300 s of continuous operation, while for the post-deposited ZnS passivation layer, or those based on ZnSe/ZnS core–shell nanorods, it declined by 28% and 25%, respectively. This work highlights the advantages of the proper passivation of II-VI semiconductor nanocrystals as an efficient approach to tackle the efficient charge transfer and stability of photoelectrochemical cells based thereon.
