“…Among the family of 2D nanomaterials, MXenes are the latest and largest reported class of materials possessing high metallic conductivity, hydrophilicity, and high biocompatibility, which makes them interesting candidates for the design of electrochemical biosensors [ 22 ]. MXenes ( Figure 3 ) are formed by the selective etching of ‘A’ layers from their corresponding MAX phases (i.e., M n+1 AX n=1;2;3. , where M represents an early transition metal (Sc, Ti, Zr, V, Cr, Mn, Nb, Hf, Ta, Mo), A is usually an element from group 12 to 16 of the periodic table (Cd, Al, Si, P, S, Ga, Ge, As, In, Sn, Tl, Pb), and X is either carbon (C), nitrogen ( N ), or both) [ 36 ]. MAX phases are different from graphite and other layered materials where the layers are held together by weak van der Waals forces, while a typical MAX phase is composed of a strong M-X bond that possesses a mixed metallic–covalent character and a relatively weaker M-A bond.…”
