Research progress on antibacterial textiles of MXene and its composite materials

MXene materials are two-dimensional transition metal carbides, nitrides or carbonitride nanomaterials with two-dimensional layered structures. Due to their excellent physical and chemical properties, MXene materials have been widely used in biosensing, cancer photothermal therapy, antibacterial and other aspects. Based on the research status of antibacterial properties of MXene, the antibacterial mechanism of MXene and its composite materials was explored, the antibacterial properties of MXene and its composite materials and the research progress of antibacterial finishing fabrics, antibacterial fibers and antibacterial dressings were described, and the future research direction of antibacterial textiles based on MXene and its composite materials was proposed.
