IMPORTANCE OF MXENE NANOCOMPOSITES IN THE DETECTION OF HEAVY METALS

One of the strongest and most common chemical pollution is its environmental pollution with heavy metals. Heavy metals are actively involved in biological processes, which are part of many enzymes. The toxicity of heavy metal ions causes a number of harm to environmental components and human health. That is why the detection of heavy metals is so important. The creation of a reliable and effective system for detecting heavy metals is crucial. And traditional detection methods are often not enough to meet the current needs. Therefore, the use of electrochemical sensors in the detection of heavy metals is currently taking an important place. Electrochemical sensors have become a promising area of research due to their unique capabilities. Improving the detection efficiency of electrochemical sensors is the main area of research. The leading strategy for significantly improving detection performance involves adding nanomaterials to electrochemical sensors. This review compares MXene nanocompasites with the achievements of nanomaterials in the field of electrochemical sensors in recent years. This makes it possible to obtain new ideas for the manufacture of electrochemical sensors with high sensitivity and low detection threshold. We believe that knowing and combining the benefits of different nanomaterials to produce innovative electrode modification materials can eliminate the risk of heavy metal ions in many food, environmental and other industries.
