MXene as Versatile 2D Materials: A Review of the Recent Progress in Synthesis and Applications

MXene,; 2D materials, Layered structure, Photocatalysts, Biomaterials, Nanomaterials

Nowadays, MXene is considered the newest family of layered 2D materials, thus attracting great attention of researchers all over the world. As its greatest advantages, the outstanding mechanical strength, extraordinary hydrophilicity, distinct surface chemistry as well as possibility to delamination on monolayer nanoplatelets with a high aspect ratio can be mentioned. Due to the growing numbers of research reports on MXene-based materials, this review has been designed to systematize the knowledge of the synthesis methods and the wide application possibilities of these 2D materials. Therefore, the focus will be put on the synthesis and characterization of MXene containing single and multi-transition metals. Moreover, the attention will be extended to study of the applications of MXene that can be employed as supercapacitors, catalysts and photocatalysts, biomaterials and many others. The approach of this review presents the current state-of-the-art which is required to explore new research directions.
