Up-and-coming MXene-based nanohybrids for electrochemical non-enzymatic glucose sensing: A brief review

Abstract

A brand-new 2D material, MXene, has gained huge popularity due to its desirable properties for various applications, including biosensing. The high conductivity, hydrophilicity, and specific surface area of MXene are advantageous in promoting electrochemical activities. Over the past five years, MXene has demonstrated promising performance as a supportive material in non-enzymatic electrochemical glucose sensors. Further, the electrode containing MXene-based nanohybrids have shown their feasible applicability in detecting glucose concentration from real human serum and sweat samples. This review discussed the recent progress in glucose detection by non-enzymatic sensors based on MXene nanohybrid and the electrochemical performance of the resulting electrode. Moreover, we highlighted some outlooks for further developing non-enzymatic glucose sensors based on MXene nanohybrids.
