Abstract

ABSTRACT MXenes, a class of 2D transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides, are gaining attention for their remarkable properties, including high electrical conductivity, large surface area, and excellent electrochemical performance. These attributes make MXenes suitable for applications in energy storage, sensors, catalysts, and electromagnetic interference shielding. However, one of the significant challenges with MXene synthesis is the use of hazardous hydrofluoric acid (HF) in the etching process, which also presents environmental concerns, thereby limiting their scalability and broader use. This has prompted significant research into alternative synthetic methods by using safer…
