Abstract

Abstract: In this study, we have thoroughly studied the potentiality of 2D nanomaterials against different viruses. The extremely high surface-volume ratio is beneficial for surface-related reactions like catalysis, this provides flexibility and other intrinsic properties. The antimicrobial activity of nanomaterials is well established. Here we go through different 2D nanomaterials, showing a variety of antiviral actions through the generation of ROS and oxidative stress. The antiviral action of nanosheets has been attributed to their negative surface charge and the presence of a layered nanoscale morphology with sharp edges and corners. Due to their strong electrostatic activity with envelope and non-envelop viruses the sharp edge causes physical damage, and protein disruption causes virus damage. 2D nanomaterials have a wide opening in the field of research and development.
