Recent Advanced in MXene Research toward Biosensor Development

MXene nanomaterials in biomedicine: A bibliometric perspective

“…The biological applications of MXene have been discussed in numerous review publications, however, these mainly focus on the current status of overall biological applications ( Huang et al, 2018 ; Koyappayil et al, 2022 ; Parajuli et al, 2022 ) or only address a specific biomedical application such as their use as antibacterial agents, biosensors or for cancer imaging and treatment ( Ali et al, 2022 ; Hao et al, 2022 ; Ranjbari et al, 2022 ). Bibliometric analysis is a research method that statistically evaluates and visually presents the current state-of-the-art, most influential studies and upcoming trends of a given field of research ( Yang et al, 2022 ).…”

Versatile MXenes as electrochemical sensors for heavy metal ions and phenolic moiety-containing industrial chemicals: recent development and prospects

“…66 There are several reports on MXene for biosensing, and many discuss the role of MXene in biomedical applications. [67][68][69][70][71][72] While not all MXene-based sensing reviews have prioritized EC technology, they heed a range of technologies including magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography photoacoustics, biosensors, optical biosensors, adsorption strategies, etc. [73][74][75][76] The other reports are dated to have been published a few years ago.…”

Advancing biological investigations using portable sensors for detection of sensitive samples

“…As biosensor research advanced, the field spawned a variety of biosensor technologies, such as enzymatic, antibody-based, polypeptide-based, aptamer-based, and nucleic acid-based sensors. These biosensors had unique strengths in detecting specific forensically important analytes [ [44] , [45] , [46] , [47] ]. Aptamers and molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are two examples of novel recognition elements incorporated into biosensors to increase their sensitivity and selectivity, allowing them to detect a wider variety of chemicals.…”

“…Aptamers and molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are two examples of novel recognition elements incorporated into biosensors to increase their sensitivity and selectivity, allowing them to detect a wider variety of chemicals. Improvements in microfabrication, nanotechnology, and sensing technologies allowed biosensors to be made smaller and more portable [ [47] , [48] , [49] ]. These advancements made it possible to conduct forensic analysis directly at the scene of an incident, drastically cutting down on investigation turnaround times.…”
