Recent advances in MXene-based force sensors: a mini-review

Abstract

As an emerging two-dimensional (2D) material, MXene has excellent conductivity and abundant surface functional groups.

Rational Design of Dynamic Bimetallic NiCoSe2/2D Ti3C2Tx MXene Hybrids for a High-Performance Flexible Supercapacitor and Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

“…On the flip side, a clan of 2D transition metal carbides/carbonitrides, otherwise named MXenes (M n +1 X n T x , M for early transition metals from specific groups IIIB to VIB, X for carbon/nitrogen, T for surface terminal groups), designed by selective etching of the “A” layer from the MAX phased precursors (A for the element from group IIIA or IVA) have grabbed wide attention recently. − Here, elimination of A layers exposes the transition metal on the basal plane to be functionalized with abundant surface functional groups such as −OH, −F, −Cl, and −O. , Captivating properties such as a large surface area, surface hydrophilicity, rich surface terminals, good capability for intercalant hosting, excellent conductivity, high reactivity, biocompatibility, and high packing make these remarkably fascinating for multifunctional electrocatalytic and supercapacitor applications. Regardless of the electroactive sites, another major bottleneck is the vulnerability of the transition metal through oxidation/reduction/degradation (formation of comparatively poorly active TiO 2 ) in the presence of atmospheric exposure, rendering the pristine MXene system unstable.…”

Recent progress in energy, environment, and electronic applications of MXene nanomaterials

“…145 The change in the resistance is due to the stress produced by external forces, which determines the quality of the strain sensors. 163 Yang et al studied the sensing mechanisms of the MXene nanoparticle–nanosheet hybrid network. 164 In this case, the Ti 3 C 2 T x was subjected to different strains (0–50%).…”

Light Emission Enhancement of a ZnO/TAZ Heterostructure Piezo‐OLED by Means of a Piezo‐Phototronic Effect

“…[1][2][3][4] In comparison to vision, smell, taste, and hearing, haptics is more complex to replicate since it requires highspatial-resolution, high-sensitivity, rapid reaction, and large scale array of pressure sensors. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Several groups have demonstrated arrays of pressure sensors composed of assembled nanowires, organic transistors, or microstructured rubber layers based on capacitive or resistive variations. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] These have been implemented to distribute strain in the form of a matrix with millimeter-level resolution.…”

“…For a long time, electronics as the human senses have always been big problems facing artificial intelligence, but it′s crucial for exploitation of natural and approachable human‐machine interfaces [1–4] . In comparison to vision, smell, taste, and hearing, haptics is more complex to replicate since it requires high‐spatial‐resolution, high‐sensitivity, rapid reaction, and large scale array of pressure sensors [5–12] . Several groups have demonstrated arrays of pressure sensors composed of assembled nanowires, organic transistors, or microstructured rubber layers based on capacitive or resistive variations [13–20] .…”
