Abstract：MXenes quantum dots (QDs) have excellent metal conductivity， hydrophilicity， biocompatibility and fluorescence properties. Nowadays， MXenes QDs with good quality and excellent performance， can be prepared through a variety of different synthesis techniques， such as V2C QDs and TiCN QDs. This review comprehensively summarized the advance of MXenes QDs from a unique perspective. First， it introduces the hydrothermal/solvothermal method， ultrasonic method， ball milling method， micro explosion method， molten salt synthesis method， and pyrolysis method. Then， the applications of immune regulation， oncology therapy， biosensing and biological imaging are summarized， and finally the current challenges of MXenes QDs in terms of synthesis methods and potential toxicity are put forward. This review will provide strong scientific guidance for the subsequent large-scale and efficient applications of MXenes QDs in various emerging fields.
