MXene has indeed gained significant attention in recent years as a promising photocatalyst for various applications, including photocatalytic degradation of pollutants. MXene possesses several unique physical and chemical properties that make it suitable for such applications, including its uniform planar structure, strong metal conductivity, effective functional groups, and numerous derivatives. These properties contribute to the excellent photodegradation performance and long‐term stability exhibited by MXene‐based photocatalysts compared to other photocatalysts. MXene‐based composites, which are formed by incorporating MXene with other materials, demonstrate even better photodegradation activity due to their abundant active sites and porous structure. One crucial factor influencing the photodegradation performance of MXene‐based photocatalysts is the presence of active functional groups on the surface of MXene. These functional groups play a significant role in the photocatalytic process and contribute to the overall efficiency of the catalyst. To provide a broader understanding of MXene‐based photocatalysts, the physicochemical properties of MXene are briefly described in this review. This includes its structural characteristics, electrical conductivity, and the presence of functional groups. This review also investigates the physical and chemical synthesis routes for preparing MXene, both in its natural state and as composites with other materials. These synthesis methods are essential for tailoring the properties of MXene‐based photocatalysts to meet specific requirements. Finally, the review discusses future work and challenges in MXene‐based photocatalysis. This field holds great promise for addressing environmental concerns and improving the degradation of organic compounds. However, further research is needed to optimize the synthesis methods, enhance the photocatalytic efficiency, and explore the practical applications of MXene‐based photocatalysts.

Green energy storage systems play a vital role in enabling a sustainable future by facilitating the efficient integration and utilization of renewable energy sources. The main problems related to two‐dimensional (2D) materials are their difficult synthesis process, high cost, and bulk production, which hamper their performance. In recent years, MXenes have emerged as highly promising materials for enhancing the performance of energy storage devices due to their unique properties, including their high surface area, excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, and exceptional chemical stability. This paper presents a comprehensive scientific approach that explores the potential of MXenes for empowering green energy storage systems. Which indicates the novelty of the article. The paper reviews the latest advances in MXene synthesis techniques. Furthermore, investigates the application of MXenes in various energy storage technologies, such as lithium‐ion batteries, supercapacitors, and emerging energy storage devices. The utilization of MXenes as electrodes in flexible and transparent energy storage devices is also discussed. Moreover, the paper highlights the potential of MXenes in addressing key challenges in energy storage, including enhancing energy storage capacity, improving cycling stability, and promoting fast charging and discharging rates. Additionally, industrial application and cost estimation of MXenes are explored. As the output of the work, we analyzed that HF and modified acid (LiF and HCl) are the established methods for synthesis. Due to high electrical conductivity, MXene materials are showing extraordinary results in energy storage and related applications. Making a composite hydrothermal method is one of the established methods. This scientific paper underscores the significant contributions of MXenes in advancing green energy storage systems, paving the way for a sustainable future driven by renewable energy sources. To facilitate the research, this article includes technical challenges and future recommendations for further research gaps in the topic.
