“…Our MXene can operate for four hours at full speed, the cost per unit of energy is $0.081, and the maximum capacity of the ball milling jar is 250 grams. Therefore, the cost per gram of mass produced by this machine is readily calculable using equation (1).…”

“…Since scientists have realized the potential of MXene, a great deal of research has been published on it recently. Since the first successful discovery of MXene, it has been observed that most studies focus on Ti3C2Tx [1]. The research community has heavily reviewed, discussed, and studied the synthesis procedures, involved synthesis parameters, types of etching processes, and safety protocols related to the synthesis of MXene from its precursors, the so-called MAX phases [2][3][4].…”

MXene, a two-dimensional (2D) carbide, carbonitride, and nitride, was invented in 2011. A certain number of elements in the periodic table have contributed to the synthesis of MXene from the beginning to the present. Most researchers, however, are focused on a particular type of MXene, Ti3C2Tx, although the scientific community seldom considers the synthesis cost of this outstanding and potentially helpful substance. Herein, we explore the cost of MXene by going through each stage of the production process. Instead, the actual cost may vary by a small margin due to differences in the materials and procedures. However, this study provides a clear understanding of the cost, which is governed by the steps directly involved in the synthesis and characterization of MXene. The cost associated with various essential characterization tools like SEM, TEM, UV-Vis, and XRD is necessary to ensure the successful synthesis of MXene. All local expenses are converted into USD, except for the instrumental life cycle analysis (LCA) and infrastructure cost values. The cost of each gram of MXene is predicted to be $12.20. The predicted cost is close to the market price of MXene, proving the accuracy of the cost calculation presented in this research. This work will assist the scientific community in planning and optimizing MXene's synthesis procedures so that the production cost can be potentially reduced if this material is produced on a larger scale.

“…Inorganic nanomaterials may enhance both TC and fire safety. In recent years, different studies affirm that TC may be improved by incorporating MXenes to the ER, often reaching better results than other 2D nanofillers [ 28 , 49 , 50 ]. Most of the works focused on obtaining oriented composites to enhance thermal conductivity, so anisotropic conductivity was observed.…”

“…In consequence, depending on the preparation method of the nanocomposite, the distribution of MXene sheets may be improved and increase the anisotropic conductivity. Lin et al aligned the filler distribution by shear and centrifugal force in stirring by cast-moulding [ 50 ]. Due to the aligned distribution of the filler, the in-plane TC was improved, even for the samples with less MXene reinforcement, 6.45 times better than the same sample of 5% MXene without alignment.…”

Epoxy resins are thermosets with interesting physicochemical properties for numerous engineering applications, and considerable efforts have been made to improve their performance by adding nanofillers to their formulations. MXenes are one of the most promising functional materials to use as nanofillers. They have attracted great interest due to their high electrical and thermal conductivity, hydrophilicity, high specific surface area and aspect ratio, and chemically active surface, compatible with a wide range of polymers. The use of MXenes as nanofillers in epoxy resins is incipient; nevertheless, the literature indicates a growing interest due to their good chemical compatibility and outstanding properties as composites, which widen the potential applications of epoxy resins. In this review, we report an overview of the recent progress in the development of MXene/epoxy nanocomposites and the contribution of nanofillers to the enhancement of properties. Particularly, their application for protective coatings (i.e., anticorrosive and friction and wear), electromagnetic-interference shielding, and composites is discussed. Finally, a discussion of the challenges in this topic is presented.

“…[33] In a work by Chen et al, they reported the improvement in electrical, dielectric, and thermal properties of an epoxy composite containing MXenes platelets. [34] Feng et al added 1.2 wt% of MXenes into the commercial epoxy system and reported good electrical conductivity (4.52 × 10 −6 S cm −1 ) and moderate tensile strength (66.2 MPa). [35] Anti-friction, anti-corrosive, hightoughness, low-creep, improved electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, wettability, and shear strength are some of the advantages reported of MXenes-filled thermosetting composites.…”

and high specific strength are required attributes. [1] CFRP composites have gained popularity, and they are already dominating the aerospace and wind energy industries. [2,3] CFRP incorporation in future transport vehicles, such as urban air mobility (UAM), is also growing. [4] CFRPs can replace their metal counterparts in applications where specific strength is desired but not in applications where other properties such as high electrical conductivity are required. Lightning strikes on aircraft and wind turbine structures are serious concerns, specifically, if the structures are made of CFRP composites. [5,6] During a lightning strike, a massive surge of electric current passes through the structures. If the structure does not possess enough electrical conductivity to dissipate the incident current, these structures can be destroyed due to the extreme amount of heat produced by the resistive heating or Joule's heating. [7] CFRP composites' low electrical conductivity (in through-thickness direction ≈ 0.01 S cm −1 ) makes them highly vulnerable to lightning strikes. [8] A common remedy is to protect the less-conductive CFRP using highly conductive coatings.Current commercial lightning strike protection (LSP) technologies in the aerospace industry are mainly composed of Ti 3 C 2 -a member of the MXenes (2D transition metal carbides and nitrides) family, is investigated as an effective filler to improve the electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties of divinylbenzene (DVB) thermosetting resin. Consequently, its performance as a lightning strike protection (LSP) coating for carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is evaluated. Polyaniline (PANI)dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (DBSA) complex is used to cure the DVB resin. The synergic effect of MXenes (with surface that is negatively charged) with polyaniline (positive charge) shows electrostatic bonding and improved electrical conductivity in the composite. The addition of MXenes at 2 wt% into the PANI-DVB composite shows ≈139%, 10%, and 9% improvement in electrical conductivity, flexural strength, and flexural modulus, respectively, compared to the neat PANI-DVB composite. The composites are investigated using various material characterization techniques including Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and scanning electron microscopy. Furthermore, MXenes-DVB is utilized to create a conductive thermosetting coating on top of a CFRP substrate and tested against a lightning strike of 100 kA. CFRP with MXenes-DVB coating reduced the surface damage from 40.61 cm 2 (reference CFRP panel) to 13.29 cm 2 (CFRP coated with MXenes-DVB).
