Article Abstract
Recently, the emerging two-dimensional material MXene enjoys a high reputation due to its fascinating characteristics and shines in various research fields. Among them, MXene has received increasing attention and favor from the photocatalysis community due to its regular planar structure, outstanding metal conductivity, surface adjustable chemical properties, abundant derivatives, and excellent optical and thermal properties. There is no doubt that the introduction of MXene has endowed the photocatalytic system with extraordinary performance and has made an important impact in the field of advanced catalysis and chemical technology. Herein, on the one hand, we summarize the synthetic route of MXenes and MXene-derived 0D quantum dots (MQDs), and propose the corresponding improved synthetic strategies for the defects of MXenes obtained by the current synthetic methods. On the other hand, recent progress in MXene-based photocatalysts has been reviewed to provide a comprehensive dissection of their designs and applications. It is highly anticipated that these will present researchers with a one-stop point for the state-of-the-art development of MXene-based photocatalysts. Finally, the future opportunities and challenges of MXenes in the flourishing field of photocatalysis are also discussed.

This review provides an overview of the fabrication methods for TiCT MXene-based hybrid photocatalysts and evaluates their role in degrading organic dye pollutants. TiCT MXene has emerged as a promising material for hybrid photocatalysts due to its high metallic conductivity, excellent hydrophilicity, strong molecular adsorption, and efficient charge transfer. These properties facilitate faster charge separation and minimize electron-hole recombination, leading to exceptional photodegradation performance, long-term stability, and significant attention in dye degradation applications.

MXene-based (nano)materials have recently emerged as promising solutions for antibiotic photodegradation from aquatic environments, yet they are limited by scalability, stability, and selectivity challenges in practical settings. We formulated FeO-SiO/MXene ternary nano-photocomposites via coupled wet impregnation and sonochemistry approach for optimised tetracycline (TC) removal (the second most used antibiotic worldwide) from water using response surface methodology-central composite design (RSM-CCD). The photocatalysts containing various loading of FeO/SiO (5-45 wt%) on the MXene with a range of calcination temperatures (300-600 °C) via RSM optimisation were synthesised, characterised regarding crystallinity properties, surface morphology, binding energy, and light absorption capability, and analysed for TC degradation efficiency.

The growing concern of water pollution is a critical issue stemming from industrialization and urbanization. One of the specific concerns within this broader problem is the toxicity associated with chromium (Cr), especially in its Cr (VI) form. Transition metal carbides/nitrides (MXenes) are attractive materials for the treatment of water due to their unique properties such as layered structure, high surface area, conductivity, flexibility, scalable manufacture, and surface functions.
