Abstract
Since the multilayered transition metal carbides (Ti3C2) were exfoliated from the 3D MAX phase (Ti3AlC2) in 2011, a group of 2D layered materials known as MXene has received much attention. MXene, which includes transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides, provides a diverse range of elemental compositions and surface terminations with intriguing properties such as hydrophilicity, exceptional conductivity, robust surface chemistry, thermal stability, tunable bandgap, large surface area, and biocompatibility. Nonetheless, restacking, aggregation, and oxidation significantly impair the performance of MXene nanosheets (NSs). To successfully tackle these challenges, MXenes are combined with other materials, such as polymers, metal compounds, and carbon-based materials, to form MXene-based nanocomposites (NCs). These MXene NCs possess distinct chemical and physical characteristics, which make them ideal for a wide range of applications with exceptional structural, electronic, optical, mechanical, and thermal properties. This study thoroughly examines the recent advances in MXene NCs, including the discussions on fabrication techniques from MAX phase to nanocomposites and their significant applications in energy, environmental, biomedical, and electromagnetic fields.
