Abstract

About one decade after the first report on MXenes, these 2D early transition metal carbides or nitrides have become among the best-performing materials in electrode applications related to electrical energy storage devices and power-to-fuels conversion. MXenes are obtained by a top-down approach starting from the appropriate 3D MAX phase that undergoes etching of the A-site metal. Initial etching procedures are based on the use of concentrated HF or the in situ generation of this highly corrosive and poisonous reagent. Etching of the MAX phase is one of the major hurdles limiting the progress of the field. The present review summarizes an alternative, universal, and easily scalable etching procedure based on…
