“…MXene is an emerging class of 2D ceramics that have a general composition of M n +1 X n T ( n = 1, 2, or 3), where M stands for early transition metals (such as Ti, Mo, Nb, and V), X refers to carbon and/or nitrogen, and T is the functional terminations at the surfaces (such as O, OH, and F) . Since 2011, the fast growth of MXene family sheds light on the development of batteries, supercapacitors, membranes, photothermal conversion and thermoelectric devices .…”

2D materials are important building blocks for the upcoming generation of nanostructured electronics and multifunctional devices due to their distinct chemical and physical characteristics. To this end, large‐scale production of 2D materials with high purity or with specific functionalities represents a key to advancing fundamental studies as well as industrial applications. Among the state‐of‐the‐art synthetic protocols, electrochemical exfoliation of layered materials is a very promising approach that offers high yield, great efficiency, low cost, simple instrumentation, and excellent up‐scalability. Remarkably, playing with electrochemical parameters not only enables tunable material properties but also increases the material diversities from graphene to a wide spectrum of 2D semiconductors. Here, a succinct and critical survey of the recent progress in this research direction is presented, comprising the strategic design, exfoliation principles, underlying mechanisms, processing techniques, and potential applications of 2D materials. At the end of the discussion, the emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities in real practice are also highlighted.

“…Most experimental investigations have mainly focused on the excellent electrochemical behavior of MXenes for energy storage as ion batteries, gas storage, and various catalysis applications because of their large exposed surface area, hydrophilic nature, adsorption ability, and surface activities. The latest applications and developments of MXenes have been summarized in the recent review article [11,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26].…”

The family of MAX phases and their derivative MXenes are continuously growing in terms of both crystalline and composition varieties. In the last couple of years, several breakthroughs have been achieved that boosted the synthesis of novel MAX phases with ordered double transition metals and, consequently, the synthesis of novel MXenes with a higher chemical diversity and structural complexity, rarely seen in other families of two-dimensional (2D) materials. Considering the various elemental composition possibilities, surface functional tunability, various magnetic orders, and large spin−orbit coupling, MXenes can truly be considered as multifunctional materials that can be used to realize highly correlated phenomena. In addition, owing to their large surface area, hydrophilicity, adsorption ability, and high surface reactivity, MXenes have attracted attention for many applications, e.g., catalysts, ion batteries, gas storage media, and sensors. Given the fast progress of MXene-based science and technology, it is timely to update our current knowledge on various properties and possible applications. Since many theoretical predictions remain to be experimentally proven, here we mainly emphasize the physics and chemistry that can be observed in MXenes and discuss how these properties can be tuned or used for different applications.

“…However, the field of energy storage research is moving exceptionally quickly, and because of this there has developed a degree of confusion within the scientific community about the criteria which determine whether a device is either a battery or a supercapacitor . Most reviews of MXenes in energy storage have sidestepped this blurred distinction by reviewing both technologies, but while these reviews are useful to those wishing to gain a broader perspective, they provide insufficient detail for readers who wish to understand the current state of research into either batteries or supercapacitors specifically. Therefore, the present review shall focus on works which self‐identify as battery research, and discuss progress with the assumption that these MXene‐based electrodes could take the place of graphite in a set‐up not dissimilar from a conventional Li‐ion battery (Figure ).…”

2D transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes) are electrochemically active materials capable of exhibiting pseudocapacitance. Multilayer MXenes are similar to graphite, but with larger interlayer spacing and surface functionalities which allow them to readily disperse in water and undergo a range of reactions without compromising their electrical conductivity. The large interlayer spacing enables MXenes to readily intercalate large ions, and form composites with materials such as graphene, metal oxides, transition metal dichalcogenides and silicon, with which they make electrodes able to deliver exceptional capacities at high power rates over thousands of cycles. Research into MXenes for energy storage has grown exponentially since 2011, and it is now necessary, especially for readers new to the field, to review progress made in more specific areas. This critical review will therefore analyse the progress made in developing MXene‐based batteries, focusing solely on anodes developed for metal‐ion batteries such as Li‐ion, Na‐ion and K‐ion.
