Improved Sensing to Endocrine Disrupting Pollutants in Water nanosensor MXene Endocrine
By Hussain AhmedSep 21 2022Reviewed by Megan Craig, M.Sc. Endocrine disruptors have recently drawn significant research attention due to their severe toxicity and harmful environmental impacts. Additionally, it is quite challenging to analyze endocrine disruptors since they can only be monitored in aquatic habitats at trace levels.
Endocrine disruptors are harmful pollutants that interfere with the synthesis, emission, transportation, and removal of the body's natural hormones. The endocrine disruptors can enter the food chain and progressively build up in the adipose tissues of animals, eventually reaching humans. Electrochemical Analysis for Detection of Endocrine Disruptors Related StoriesElectrochemical detection techniques have proven to be quite effective for detecting endocrine disruptors in ecological and biological materials. These approaches are widely used because of their many benefits, including easy miniaturization, in situ measurement, quick reaction, high responsiveness, convenience, and cheap cost.
MXene layers, like graphene, have vast interlayer gaps that allow analytes to diffuse from the solution to the surface of the electrode, while the 2D planes of MXene act as a network of nanoscale circuits for rapid electron transmission. Moreover, extensive active spots on the surface of MXene flakes are uncovered, allowing for hybridization with other active substances to provide an improved signal-to-noise ratio for electrochemical devices.
