Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides and nitrides, known as MXenes, are a large family of 2D materials. Although the first MXene was discovered in 2011 without any prior prediction of their existence, the family has grown significantly, both from the chemistry and application perspectives. There are about thirty stoichiometric MXene compositions reported and many more are waiting to be discovered. MXenes reported to date are hydrophilic, typically with high metallic conductivity. MXenes have a variety of applications including energy generation and storage, electromagnetic interference shielding, water purification, catalysis, optoelectronics, gas- and biosensors, reinforcement for composites, and biomedical ones. This chapter gives an overview of MXenes and describes how each chapter of this book covers different properties and applications of MXenes.
