MXene-based nanomaterials with enzyme-like properties for biomedical applications

Nanoscale Horiz. 2023 Sep 26;8(10):1333-1344. doi: 10.1039/d3nh00213f.

Abstract

Recently, great progress has been made in nanozyme research due to the rapid development of nanomaterials and nanotechnology. MXene-based nanomaterials have gained considerable attention owing to their unique physicochemical properties. They have been found to have high enzyme-like properties, such as peroxidase, oxidase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase. In this mini-review, we present an overview of the recent progress in MXene-based nanozymes, with emphasis on their synthetic methods, hybridization, bio-catalytic properties, and biomedical applications. The future challenges and prospects of MXene-based nanozymes are also proposed.
