Recently, two-dimensional (2D) lamellar membranes have attracted worldwide attention of researchers because of mechanical robustness, tunable pore size, high performance, and their easy processing. MXenes 2D materials, also known as carbide/nitride functionalized metal nanoparticles, have applications in a variety of applications such as capacitors and ion batteries for energy storage, catalysts, wastewater treatment membranes and heavy metal ions separation. In the last decade, extensive studies have been conducted to improve the applicability of heavy metal adsorbent membranes with the aid of MXenes and its complexes. Given the challenges that environmental pollutants pose to nature and organisms, it is important to find ways of absorbing and removing pollutants. In this article, after introducing MXenes and its various structures, recent studies on wastewater treatment and nuclear waste treatment with MXenes and its compounds are summarized along with its antibacterial properties
