Abstract

A rapidly develo** two-dimensional materials belonging to the family of transition metal carbides and nitrides are referred to as “MXenes” or “maxenes.“ MXenes are primarily made from their MAX or Mn + 1AXn predecessors in which M is a member of the first transition metal family, A is a member of the A-group, and together they form a huge class of multilayer hexagonal compounds (typically from groups 13 and 14), X is C or N, and n is 1 to 3. This process involves selective etching and exfoliation over the course of two steps. Classifications of MXenes that are frequently investigated include elementally doped MXenes (EDMs) and MXene-based composites (MBCs). A number of applications, including batteries, supercapacitors, catalysts, cocatalysts, contaminant removal, and sensors, have stimulated interest in MXene and its doped components and composites. In this chapter, the varieties of MXenes and their structural and synthetic characteristics, as well as any prospective uses for them in electrochemistry and energy storage, will be briefly discussed.
