Summary: We developed a system using two-dimensional MXene material (FL-Ti3C2Tx) to simultaneously degrade tetracycline in food matrices. By catalyzing the reaction between hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and 3, 3', 5, 5’-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), FL-Ti3C2Tx can turn the H2O2/TMB system bluish-green. However, the bluish-green color does not appear in the presence of tetracycline. We developed a colorimetric assay to detect tetracycline with a limit of detection of 615.38 nM and proposed two degradation pathways, enabling a highly sensitive colorimetric bioassay.
