First-principles study of the electronic, optical and transport of few-layer semiconducting MXene

The tunable electric and magnetic properties of 2D MXenes and their potential applications

“…The 2D TMDs show semiconducting behavior. The beauty of MXene is its tunable electric properties that establish MXene sometimes as metal, semiconductor, superconductor, topological insulator, and, most importantly, half metals [58][59][60][61] . The half metallicity in MXene can be tuned by controlling the terminated group, doping, or applying the electric field and strain.…”

Recent Advancement in Rational Design Modulation of MXene: A Voyage from Environmental Remediation to Energy Conversion and Storage

“…MXenes' appearance lies in their configurable electrical characteristics, which allow them to function as metallic materials, semi -conductor, superconductivity, topographic insulators, and, most interestingly, half metal alloys. [391,392] Tuning the semi-metal of MXenes is possible through manipulation of the termination ring, loading, or the application of an electrostatic potential and stress. The semi metallic of MXenes nature signals the significant possibilities in the field of superconductors.…”

2D single- and few-layered MXenes: synthesis, applications and perspectives

“…19 In the past decade, comprehension of the varied properties of MXene has grown rapidly. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] MXene, with a typical layered structure, unlike graphene's single-atomthick sheet of sp 2 -hybridized carbon atoms, but similar to the construction of transition metal dichalcogenides, consists of a "sandwich" structure of a carbon or nitrogen layer between two transition metal layers (e.g., Ti, Mo, W). 29,30 Generally, MXene is derived from hexagonal layered ternary transition metal carbides and nitrides (MAX phase) by etching "A" elements, in which M is an early transition metal, A is an element from group 13 or 14 (such as Al, Zn, Si, etc.…”
