Recent Advances in MXene-Based Screen-Printed Electrochemical Sensors for Point-of-Care Biomarker Detections

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Contemporary biomedical diagnostics increasingly demand high sensitivity for pathogen detection and real-time health monitoring. In response to these requirements, screen-printed electrochemical sensors (SPEs) have emerged as a practical analytical platform owing to their low cost, portability, and compatibility with point-of-care and wearable systems. In the recent past, nanomaterials in two-dimensional format, especially MXenes, have gained much interest due to their high electrical conductivity, controllable surface chemistry, and biocompatibility, which can improve the performance and applicability of SPEs. The current review concentrates on the latest developments between 2020 and 2025, providing a critical assessment of research employing MXene-based nanomaterials for the modification and development of screen-printed electrode platforms. We provide an overview of fabrication techniques, printing methods, and surface modification methods, and proceed with an analysis of the electrochemical performance of MXenes and MXene-based heterostructures. Lastly, contemporary issues are considered, and opinions are suggested to facilitate the translation of MXene-functionalized SPEs to real biomedical diagnosis solutions.
