Why MXenes are important?
Importance of MXenes MXenes are distinguished among the plethora of existing 2D materials due to their provision of 2D sheets exhibiting metallic electrical conductance, a characteristic that was predominantly absent in the array of 2D materials, the majority of which are semiconductors, semimetals, or dielectrics. MXenes present conductivity values that have been documented to reach up to 20,000 S/cm , higher mechanical strength and rigidity in comparison to alternative solution-processed 2D materials. MXenes have capacity for scalable solution syntheses in kilogram quantities, adequate environmental durability for a wide range of applications, compatibility with biological systems, and the ability for aqueous solution processing without the need for surfactants. One could perceive them as being hydrophilic, capable of being dispersed in water, 2D metals or electrically conductive clay. There is a multitude of MXenes currently accessible, with the potential for an immensely v
