ClearA Critical Review on 2D Nanomaterials for Microplastic Remediation From Water: Current Progress and Challenges
This review summarizes how two-dimensional nanomaterials such as MXenes, graphene-based materials, and transition metal dichalcogenides can be used to remove microplastics from water. Researchers found these materials show significant promise for microplastic remediation through adsorption, photocatalysis, and membrane filtration due to their unique structural properties and chemical stability. The study outlines remaining challenges for scaling these technologies to industrial applications.
A Review of the Current Research Status of Graphene for the Removal of Microplastics and Antibiotics from Water
This review assesses the potential of graphene-based materials for microplastic removal from water, evaluating adsorption mechanisms, removal efficiency across particle sizes, and scalability challenges for water treatment applications.
Recent developments in microplastic contaminated water treatment: Progress and prospects of carbon-based two-dimensional materials for membranes separation
This review assessed recent advances in microplastic removal from contaminated water, covering physical, chemical, and biological treatment methods and their effectiveness across different plastic sizes, polymer types, and water chemistries. The authors identify membrane filtration and coagulation as among the most promising scalable approaches.
The power of MXene-based materials for emerging contaminant removal from water - A review
This review examines MXenes, a new class of two-dimensional materials being developed for water purification. These materials show strong potential for removing a range of pollutants from water, including microplastics, heavy metals, pharmaceutical residues, and PFAS (forever chemicals). Better water treatment technology like this could reduce human exposure to microplastics and other contaminants in drinking water.
Preparation of a novel reusable 2D-MXene with flower-like LDH composite for ultra-high adsorption of congo red and doxycycline: Stability and environmental application
Scientists created a new recyclable material combining MXene and layered double hydroxides that can remove over 98% of certain pollutants from wastewater. While this study focused on dye and antibiotic removal rather than microplastics directly, the same type of advanced filtration technology could be adapted to help remove micro- and nanoplastic contaminants from water supplies.
Adsorption of antibiotics on microplastics
This study examined the adsorption of antibiotics onto different microplastic types, finding that sorption capacity depended on both the antibiotic's chemical properties and the plastic's surface characteristics, with implications for antibiotic transport in aquatic environments.
Magnetic nanocomposites: innovative adsorbents for antibiotics removal from aqueous environments–a narrative review
This review examines how magnetic nanocomposite materials can be used to remove pharmaceutical pollutants from water. While not directly about microplastics, the technology is relevant because microplastics in water often carry pharmaceutical residues that conventional treatment cannot fully remove. Better water filtration methods like these could help reduce human exposure to the cocktail of pollutants that microplastics transport.
COMPOSITE MEMBRANES BASED ON MXene AND NANOCELLULOSE: PROPERTIES AND WATER PURIFICATION EFFICIENCY
Researchers reviewed composite membranes based on MXene and nanocellulose for water purification, evaluating their ability to remove heavy metals, dyes, pharmaceuticals, and microplastics.

Influence of microplastics on the transport of antibiotics in sand filtration investigated by AFM force spectroscopy
Researchers used atomic force microscopy to measure adhesion forces between antibiotics and microplastics versus sand, finding that hydrophobic and π-π interactions cause microplastics to competitively adsorb antibiotics from quartz sand surfaces and then carry them through sand filtration columns faster than they would move alone.
The impact of chlorination on the tetracycline sorption behavior of microplastics in aqueous solution
Researchers found that chlorination, a common disinfection step in wastewater treatment, alters the surface chemistry of microplastics and changes their capacity to adsorb tetracycline antibiotics, with chlorinated microplastics showing modified sorption behavior that affects their role as antibiotic carriers.
