MXene chemistry, electrochemistry and energy storage applications

Recent advances and perspectives in aqueous potassium-ion batteries

“…MXenes have attracted increasing research interest as a new class of two-dimensional transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides. [77][78][79][80][81][82] Similar to other layered materials, MXenes show large and tunable interlayer spacing. Furthermore, MXenes exhibit several unique properties: (1) high electrical conductivity, (2) abundant surface chemistries (e.g., -OH, -O, and -F), and (3) excellent hydrophilicity.…”

Advances and emerging challenges in MXenes and their nanocomposites for biosensing applications

“…MXenes, a family of 2D materials with layered structures of early transition metal carbides and/or nitrides have attracted huge attention since their rst report in 2011. 11 MXenes possess exceptional properties and have been widely used in many applications such as energy storage, [12][13][14] electromagnetic interference shielding, 15 biomedical engineering, 16 electrocatalysis, 17 gas detection, 18 photocatalysis and water splitting, 12,19 magnetism, [20][21][22] superconductivity, [23][24][25] magnetotransport, 26,27 and many more. 28 MXenes hold an excellent photothermal conversion capability and have been employed in various applications such as solar photothermal electrodes, solar water desalination, and numerous biomedical applications including drug delivery, photothermal therapy, and photoacoustic imaging.…”

Recent Research Progress in the Structure, Fabrication, and Application of MXene-Based Heterostructures

“…At present, numerous synthesis routes of MXene-based heterostructures have been proposed, and the synthesized heterostructures have been widely applied in the fields of supercapacitors, sensors, batteries, and photocatalysts [ 46 , 47 , 48 ]. Currently, some effort has been spent in summarizing the research progress of MXene materials, and a few articles have been written to review the research progress of MXene-based heterostructures in a certain application scenario, which can be complementary to this work [ 49 , 50 , 51 ]. In addition, the preparation and applications of MXene and MXene-based heterostructure materials are developing rapidly, and as a result, it is meaningful to write a timely review to summarize the current research status around this topic.…”
