“…MXenes, a class of 2D layered materials made up of transition metal carbides and/or nitrides with an analogous graphene structure, 11,12 represented by the general formula M n+1 X n T x (where M is a transition metal, X is either C or N, n can be 1, 2, or 3, and T x refers to the surface functional groups), 13,14 have shown competitiveness in energy conversion applications due to the fascinating surface functionalization effects and edgeexposed active sites. 15 Specifically, MXene has been widely exploited as a cocatalyst for photocatalytic H 2 evolution due to its exceptional conductivity, adjustable stratified structures, functionalized surface terminal groups, and abundant active vacancy defects.…”
