A Review on MXene Synthesis, Stability, and Photocatalytic Applications

G. Murali et al.

Summary: Photocatalytic water splitting, CO2 reduction, and pollutant degradation are promising strategies for addressing environmental and energy crises. The use of expensive noble-metal cocatalysts is necessary to enhance photocatalytic performance, but the development of efficient, inexpensive, and noble-metal-free cocatalysts is desirable. MXenes have shown great potential as alternatives to noble-metal cocatalysts, with their 2D morphology, metallic electrical conductivity, hydrophilic surface, and high specific surface area. This review focuses on the synthesis, stability, and application of MXenes-based photocatalysts for H2 evolution, CO2 reduction, and pollutant degradation, and discusses the challenges and future directions for enhancing their photocatalytic performance.
