A Review on Synthesis of 2-Dimensional Mn+1X (MXene) materials

The sequence of 2D transition metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides has gained a lot of interest since the discovery of Ti3C2. About thirty new MXene compounds have been identified, with eight different MXene synthesis methods. The presence of surface terminations such as hydroxyl, oxygen, fluorine, or chlorine in the materials described thus far indicates strong hydrophilicity as well as metallic conductivity MXenes are becoming increasingly popular due to their diverse chemistry, which has sparked a surge in academic interest. We will study and examine the many methods of fabricating MXenes in this review, which will cover everything from MAX phase etching to exfoliation, as well as the best approach to synthesise them and their most current applications
