MXenes are a new family of transition metal carbide / nitride two-dimensional crystal materials, with graphene-like structure. These materials can be made by exfoliating layered ceramicmaterials ( MAX phases ) using hydrofluoric acid. The versatile chemistry of MXenes allows the tuning of properties for applications including energy storage, electromagnetic interference shielding, reinforcement for composites, water purification, gas- and biosensors, lubrication, and photo-, electro- and chemical catalysis. Attractive electronic, optical, plasmonic and thermoelectric properties have also been shown. They have good mechanical, electronic, magneticproperties. There are promising anode materials for Li-ion battery, can be used as new reinforcements ofcomposites, can be used as high-temperature lubricators.

MXene, a new series of 2D material, has been steadily advancing its applications to a variety of fields, such as catalysis, supercapacitor, molecular separation, electromagnetic wave interference shielding
