A Comprehensive Review on Two-Dimensional Materials for Water Treatment Applications
Abstract
Industries are responsible for polluting water sources worldwide with heavy metal complexes, synthetic colors, and other dangerous chemicals. Individuals are not responsible for the pollution issue. It is crucial to maintain a proactive monitoring strategy to prevent pollution of natural water sources. Nanotechnology and two-dimensional nanoparticles can eliminate contaminants from wastewater. Two-dimensional nanoparticles with exceptionally high surface-to-volume ratios may optimize resource use, streamline processes, and improve water purification and monitoring capabilities. This article offers a detailed analysis of two-dimensional materials that can be modified, along with prospective uses for these nanomaterials in water treatment, with an explanation of synthesis methods and key attributes that contribute to their significance in water management and extensive information on the many uses of two-dimensional nanoparticles in water treatment. Researchers are now studying the potential of two-dimensional nanoparticles for use in electrochemical sensors, calorimetric sensors, field-effect transistors, and other water-quality detecting devices. In the coming decades, prioritizing access to potable water for people should be a primary focus. The water treatment sector will persist in advancing and improving water purification technologies because of its significance. This would enhance the accessibility and safety of water for a greater number of people in various regions worldwide.
