Biocompatible 2D Materials via Liquid Phase Exfoliation.

Two-dimensional materials (2DMs), such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and black phosphorus (BP), have been proposed for different types of bioapplications, owing to their unique physicochemical, electrical, optical and mechanical properties. Liquid phase exfoliation (LPE), as a one of the most effective up-scalable and size-controllable methods, is becoming the standard process to produce high quantity of various 2DM types as it can benefit of the use of green and biocompatible conditions. The resulting exfoliated layered materials have garnered significant attention because of their biocompatibility and their potential use in biomedicine as new multimodal therapeutics, antimicrobials and biosensors. In this review, we focused our attention on the production of LPE-assisted 2DMs in aqueous solutions with or without the aid of surfactants, bioactive or non-natural molecules. We further concluded with our insights into the possibilities of applications of such materials in the biological and biomedical fields. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
