Discovery of new materials provides moments of inspiration and shifts in understanding, shaping the dynamic field of materials science. Following the graphene breakthrough, many other 2D materials have been discovered. Although many of these materials remain subjects of purely academic interest, others have jumped into the limelight due to their attractive properties, which have led to practical applications. Among the latter are carbides and nitrides of transition metals known as MXenes (pronounced “maxenes”), a fast-growing family of 2D materials. The family of 2D transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes) has been expanding rapidly since the discovery of Ti3C2 at Drexel University in 2011. More than 30 different MXenes have been reported, and the structure and properties of numerous other MXenes have been predicted using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Moreover, the availability of solid solutions on M and X sites, control of surface terminations, and the discovery of ordered double-M MXenes (e.g., Mo2TiC2), i-MAX phases and their MXenes offer the potential for producing dozens of new distinct structures. This presentation will describe the state of the art in the field. The manufacturing of MXenes, their delamination into single-layer 2D flakes and assembly into films, fibers and 3D structures will be briefly covered. Synthesis-structure-properties relations of MXenes will be addressed on the example of Ti3C2. The use of MXenes in ceramic- metal- and polymer-matrix composites, smart fibers and textiles will also be discussed. The versatile chemistry of the MXene family renders their properties tunable for a large variety of applications. Oxygen or hydroxyl-terminated MXenes, such as Ti3C2O2, have been shown to have redox capable transition metals layers on the surface and offer a combination of high electronic conductivity with hydrophilicity, as well as fast ionic transport. This, among many other advantageous properties, makes the MXene family promising candidates for energy storage and related electrochemical applications, but applications in plasmonics, electrocatalysis, biosensors, medicine, electronics, water purification/ desalination and other fields are equally exciting.
新材料的发现提供了灵感的革新和观念的转变，并进一步推动了材料科学领域的持续发展。在石墨烯技术突破的基础上，一系列其他二维材料被发现研究，凭借出色的性能受到广泛关注。其中，过渡金属的碳化物与氮化物，即MXenes，是二维材料家族体系的新成员。自2011年被发现以来，MXene相关领域发展迅速，已有30余种MXene被科研人员报道追踪，并通过密度泛函理论(DFT)预测了许多其他MXene的结构与性质。本次报告将重点针对该领域的最新技术，从MXene的制造、合成、相关复合材料设计及其在智能纤维、纺织品中的应用。在诸多优势特性的基础上，其优异的能量存储及电化学特性，拓展了其在电催化领域、生物传感器方向、医学、电子学、水净化等相关领域的应用前景。
