As the most studied two-dimensional (2D) material from the MXene family, Ti3C2T x has constantly gained interest from academia and industry. Ti3C2T x MXene has the highest electrical conductivity (up to 24,000 S cm–1) and one of the highest stiffness values with a Young’s modulus of ∼ 334 GPa among water-dispersible conductive 2D materials. The negative surface charge of MXene helps to disperse it well in aqueous and other polar solvents. This solubility across a wide range of solvents, excellent interface interaction, tunable surface functionality, and stability with other organic/polymeric materials combined with the layered structure of Ti3C2T x MXene make it a promising material for anticorrosion coatings. While there are many reviews on Ti3C2T x MXene polymer composites for catalysis, flexible electronics, and energy storage, to our knowledge, no review has been published yet on MXenes’ anticorrosion applications. In this brief report, we summarize the current progress and the development of Ti3C2T x polymer composites for anticorrosion. We also provide an outlook and discussion on possible ways to improve the exploitation of Ti3C2T x polymer composites as anticorrosive materials. Finally, we provide a perspective beyond Ti3C2T x MXene composition for the development of future anticorrosion coatings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
