Abstract

Portable Sensors In article number e10942, Evgeny Smirnov and co-workers explore the performance of MXene-based ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) for portable environmental and healthcare monitoring. It compares carbon fibre-based ISEs (CF ISEs) with MXene-modified versions, highlighting MXene potential for enhancing sensitivity, printability, and cost-effectiveness in ion detection. The findings show that MXene based electrodes offer promising advantages for flexible and miniaturized sensing systems.
