Description
Summary:Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes) with fascinating physicochemical properties, ultrathin lamellar structure, high specific surface area, and excellent biocompatibility have been extensively explored in biomedical applications over the past decade. Photonic MXene nanomedicine and materdicine, as one of the most burgeoning emerging treatment modalities, are of great research interest owing to their photon utilization ability and high therapeutic efficiency. This review aims to summarize and discuss the very-recent advances in engineering 2D MXenes for photonic theranostic applications. We initially concentrate on the synthesis methods, surface modification, and functionalization with respect to MXenes. Furthermore, the photonic biological applications including photonic antibacteria, photonic bioimaging, photonic therapy, and photonic theranostics are highlighted in detail with the selected paradigms. Finally, the current challenges and future directions for 2D MXene biomaterials in regard to their photonic biomedicines are discussed in depth, aiming to drive the speed of their practical applications in clinic.
