Abstract

MXenes are a class of two-dimensional (2D) materials that are expanding quickly and have attracted much attention from scientists lately because of their exceptional physicochemical qualities. According to this research, MXene's remarkable electronic conductivity, large surface areas, and plentiful active sites make them attractive candidates for supercapacitors, batteries, energy harvesting applications, and environmental remediation applications. Producing MXenes involves selectively etching the A-layer from MAX phases, leaving behind a 2D structure composed of transition metal carbides, nitrides, or carbonitrides. MXenes showed enhanced ion diffusion and charge storage capabilities, made possible by their adaptable surface chemistry and interlayer spacing, improving device performance. MXenes also show promising uses in environmental remediation beyond energy harvesting and storage applications. This comprehensive review provides the recent developments in MXene fabrication approaches, structural alterations, and property improvements for energy storage and environmental remediation applications. It also discusses MXene-based technology's difficulties regarding scalability, stability, and practical use. This review inspires scientists to delve into the exceptional features of MXenes for sustainable energy and environmental solutions. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd
