Multiple Roles of MXene based materials in Sustainable Pesticide

Abstract

The past decades have witnessed the growing environmental consciousness caused by traditional pesticide use methods. As a result, a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach characterized by high efficacy and less risk in environmental pollution and human health. MXenes, a growing two-dimensional (2D) layer nanomaterial, have offered a new avenue in the area of endowing pesticides with sustainability by acting as either carriers to develop novel drug delivery systems, or sensors for determination of residual pesticides in environment or crops, or catalysts/adsorbents to remove pesticides from environment. Consequently, the exploration of MXene-based platforms for sustainable pesticides have received worldwide attention. The current study offers an in-depth assessment of MXene based pesticide delivery systems, electrochemical sensors for detecting pesticides, and adsorptive/catalytic elimination of residual pesticides in environment/crops. This study shows that MXene based materials can achieve the effectual and sustainable consumption of pesticides, thereby reducing environmental and human harm.
