Abstract

The initial report of layered two-dimensional (2D) nitrides and carbides (2D-MXenes) includes multi-layers of molecules in a uniformly arranged or solid assembly manner. Various 2D-MXenes have exposed valuable and adjustable mechanical, optical, electrochemical, and electronic properties, taking the lead to utilizations ranging from electromagnetic interference shielding, medicine, sensing, optoelectronics, energy storage, and catalysis. In this paper, we describe the MXenes synthesis and properties and their potential applications in different fields. In addition, we have highlighted the difficulties, challenges, and prospects of MXenes as well.
