MXenes: A Promising Material with Multifunctional Applications

MXenes possess a wide range of physical and chemical properties, resulting in their recent recognition as useful materials with potential essential properties. Since its first documented use as an energy material in 2011, MXene’s family has rapidly expanded its application field. MXene is an emerging ever needed material because of its versatility in fields as disparate as electrochemical energy storage, catalytic reactions, sensors, biological applications, environmental remediations, flexible and wearable electronics, and so on. Their adsorption properties, chemical properties, hydrophilicity, and electrochemistry property make them a competitive option in the field of environment-remediation technologies. Focusing on how MXenes enhance surface-characteristics, this article intends to render a wide-ranging review of the various uses of MXenes and hybrid composites in the aforementioned domains. As MXenes’s performance in these technologies is always getting better. Rather than focusing merely on demonstrating MXene’s practical applications, the authors began by providing a quick summary of the several synthesis approaches and characteristics of MXenes. In particular, the article lists some of the constraints that need to be approached with much more focus in order to use MXenes in a way that is safe for both people and the environment.
