Abstract

In recent years, the use of MXenes, a class of two-dimensional materials composed of transition metal carbides, nitrides, or carbonitrides, has shown significant promise in the field of skin wound healing. This review explores the multifunctional properties of MXenes, focusing on their electrical conductivity, photothermal effects, and biocompatibility in this field. MXenes have been utilized to develop advanced wound healing devices such as hydrogels, patches, and smart bandages for healing examination. These devices offer enhanced antibacterial activity, promote tissue regeneration, and provide real-time monitoring of parameters. The review highlights the synthesis methods, chemical features, and biological effects of MXenes, emphasizing their role in innovative skin repair strategies. Additionally, it discusses the potential of MXene-based sensors for humidity, pH, and temperature monitoring, which are crucial for preventing infections and complications in wound healing. The integration of MXenes into wearable devices represents a significant advancement in wound management, promising improved clinical outcomes and enhanced quality of life for patients.
