Abstract

An increase in the pollutants such as hazardous refractory contaminations, organic dyes, pharmaceutical and pesticide contaminants which are widely disposed to water resources due to population and global industrialization is becoming one of the most significant health issues in the world. Due to the unique properties, easy production, low-cost preparation, and excellent degradation of water and wastewater pollutants, magnetic-MXene nanocomposites are promising candidates with many attractive characteristics. These composites offer new fascinating perspectives in various applications such as biosensors, cancer theragnostic, imaging strategies, and especially in water treatment. This paper reviews magnetic-MXene nanocomposites for removing contaminants from aqueous environments. The concept of using magnetic nanomaterials for water treatment, MXene applications and implications for the degradation of water and wastewater pollutants, and magnetic-MXene nanocomposites for water treatment will be discussed. Future trends on MXene and Magnetic-MXene nanomaterials for water treatment and environmental applications will also be explained.
