Towards hospital-on-chip supported by 2D MXenes-based 5 generation intelligent biosensors.

Existing public health emergencies due to fatal/infectious diseases such as coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and monkeypox have raised the paradigm of 5 generation portable intelligent and multifunctional biosensors embedded on a single chip. The state-of-the-art 5 generation biosensors are concerned with integrating advanced functional materials with controllable physicochemical attributes and optimal machine processability. In this direction, 2D metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes), owing to their enhanced effective surface area, tunable physicochemical properties, and rich surface functionalities, have shown promising performances in biosensing flatlands.

Emergence of MXene and MXene-Polymer Hybrid Membranes as Future- Environmental Remediation Strategies.

The continuous deterioration of the environment due to extensive industrialization and urbanization has raised the requirement to devise high-performance environmental remediation technologies. Membrane technologies, primarily based on conventional polymers, are the most commercialized air, water, solid, and radiation-based environmental remediation strategies. Low stability at high temperatures, swelling in organic contaminants, and poor selectivity are the fundamental issues associated with polymeric membranes restricting their scalable viability.

Cobalt-manganese-zinc ternary phosphate for high performance supercapattery devices.

State of the art supercapatteries have received considerable attention for their significant electrochemical performance; however, electrode materials with enhanced charge storage capabilities are desired. Here, we report the synthesis of mixed metal phosphate nanomaterials with different concentrations via a sonochemical approach. Initially, binary metal phosphates based on zinc, cobalt, and manganese were synthesized.
