The Future of MXenes: Exploring Oxidative Degradation Pathways and Coping with Surface/Edge Passivation Approach
Indexed incrossrefpubmed
Abstract
The MXene, which is usually transition metal carbide, nitride, and carbonitride, is one of the emerging family of 2D materials, exhibiting considerable potential across various research areas. Despite theoretical versatility, practical application of MXene is prohibited due to its spontaneous oxidative degradation. This review meticulously discusses the factors influencing the oxidation of MXenes, considering both thermodynamic and kinetic point of view. The potential mechanisms of oxidation are systematically introduced, based on experimental and theoretical models. Typically, the surfaces and edges of MXenes are susceptible to oxidation, as the surface terminal groups are easily attacked by oxygen and water…
