MXenes are atomic layers of transition metal carbides or nitrides, with a chemical formula of
M

,(
n
=1 to 3),
Where M is usually early transition matels, X is C or/and N,
T

is functional groups,MXenes were firstly reported in 2011,
produced via chemical etching of MAX phases in HF acid. Owing to the high electrical
conductivity and tunable functional groups, MXenes have a wide applications in the fields
of batteries, supercapaictors, Electromagnetic Interference Shielding and composites.
Benefiting to the plentiful components and unique crystalline structures, MXenes are the
biggest family in 2D materials.
