“…Shockingly, 8% of the world’s population (the United States, Germany, and Russia) consume about 75% of the world’s most widely used metals. To date, adsorption ( Kyzas et al., 2019 ), chemical precipitation ( Zhang et al., 2020a , and Zhang et al, 2020b ), ion exchange ( Bashir et al., 2019 ), and membrane-based processes ( Kavaiya and Raval, 2021 ; Lam et al., 2018 ; Yang et al., 2021 ) have been employed for the removal of these metals. Among all, membrane technology has maximum heavy metal removal efficiency; however, selective permeability, low water flux, hydrophobicity, and biofouling have limited their application in wastewater treatment.…”

Over 80% of wastewater worldwide is released into the environment without proper treatment. Whilst environmental pollution continues to intensify due to the increase in the number of polluting industries, conventional techniques employed to clean the environment are poorly effective and are expensive. MXenes are a new class of 2D materials that have received a lot of attention for an extensive range of applications due to their tuneable interlayer spacing and tailorable surface chemistry. Several MXene‐based nanomaterials with remarkable properties have been proposed, synthesized, and used in environmental remediation applications. In this work, a comprehensive review of the state‐of‐the‐art research progress on the promising potential of surface functionalized MXenes as photocatalysts, adsorbents, and membranes for wastewater treatment is presented. The sources, composition, and effects of wastewater on human health and the environment are displayed. Furthermore, the synthesis, surface functionalization, and characterization techniques of merit used in the study of MXenes are discussed, detailing the effects of a range of factors (e.g., PH, temperature, precursor, etc.) on the synthesis, surface functionalization, and performance of the resulting MXenes. Finally, the limits of MXenes and MXene‐based materials as well as their potential future research directions, especially for wastewater treatment applications are highlighted.

“…For instance, longterm stability of Fe 3 O 4 /MXene composite membranes was evaluated for Cu 2+ removal. [180] The permeate flux decreased due to the blockage of pathways by the rejected Cu ions. Liu et al [181] fabricated MXene/PAN composite membranes and explored the long term stability of the membranes during 100 h operation.…”

On the other hand, membrane separation has attracted attention, as an environmentally safe, simple, sustainable, and energy-efficient alternative separation technology. [4][5][6][7][8][9] Furthermore, compared to conventional separation processes, membrane separation has been found to be promising in water and wastewater treatment, [10,11] gas separation, [12][13][14] oil refinement, [15,16] food processing, [17] biology, [18][19][20] solid-phase extractions, [21,22] ion separation, [23] and pharmaceutical industries. [24] Ion-separation membranes have been widely used in various fields, such as electroplating, treatment of electronic waste, precious metal recovery, and metallurgical and battery industries. [25][26][27][28] The fabrication of highly-selective ion-separation membranes is still challenging in spite of many advances in the past few decades. [29,30] These membranes separate a targeted ion by isolating it from other ions. When ions that are present are of the same type and valence, [31,32] the separation is very difficult due to the similar permeabilities of the ions. Ion-separation membrane processes have been classified into nanofiltration (NF), [33] reverse osmosis (RO), [34,35] forward osmosis (FO), [36,37] electrodialysis, [38] and ion exchange membranes. [39] Among these, NF has exhibited good potential for selective separation of ions based on their charge and size, [40] allowing for the separation of ions with a specific diameter (larger than membrane nanochannels). [41] However, its solution flux decreases, as the size of its membrane nanochannels decreases. This relationship does not allow for achieving simultaneously high permeation and selectivity because of the inherent rejection/permeance tradeoff of the membranes. [42] Hence, the fabrication of ion-separation membranes with simultaneously high ion rejection and high permeation is of great interest. [40,43,44] To achieve simultaneously high ion rejection and high permeation, in recent years several materials have been investigated, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), [45][46][47] carbon nanotubes, [48] metal coated polymer, [49] metal nanotubes, [50] and porous carbon. [51] In particular, 2D materials have received attention [52] due to their quantum confinement effect and unique micro-structures [53] that contribute to their high separation performance. So far, phosphorene, layered double hydroxides, [54][55][56] transition metal dichalcogenides, [57][58][59][60][61][62] Water pollution is a major global challenge, as conventional polymeric membranes are not adequate for water treatment anymore. Among emerging materials for water treatment, composite membranes are promising, as they have simultaneously improved water permeation and ions rejection. Recently, a new family of 2D materials called MXenes has attracted considerable attention due to their appealing properties and wide applications. MXenes can be incorporated into many polymeric materials due to their high compatibility. MXenes/polymer composite membranes have been found...
