HIGHLIGHTS
• Good MXENE stability and possibility of its regeneration for long-term applications.
• Importance of scavenging tests and proper identification of radical species in the process.
• Degradation studies must be evaluated, including the final mineralization rate of the pollutant.
• Optimization of pollutant concentration must include the aspect of photocatalyst capacity.
• Controversial, not confirmed, conclusions about CO2 formation during treatment.
