MXene is typically exfoliated by selective etching the A layer of MAX phase. [1] One example of MXene, Ti 3 C 2 F x , satisfies the stoichiometric ratio of n + 1/n, in which M, X, and T stand for transition metals, carbon or nitrogen, terminal groups at surfaces, respectively. The MXene has exhibited extraordinary electrical, [2][3][4] optical, [5] mechanical, [6][7][8] and electrochemical properties [9] since its first discovery, [10] which has become an emerging material for sensing, [11,12] communication, [13,14] energy, [15,16] environmental, [17] and healthcare applications. [18][19][20] There are many reviews existing for electrochemical energy storage, including supercapacitors, lithium ion batteries, [21][22][23] sodium ion batteries, zinc ion batteries, [24][25][26] lithium-sulfur batteries, and energy conversions, [27][28][29] includingThe Internet of Things era has promoted enormous research on sensors, communications, data fusion, and actuators. Among them, sensors are a prerequisite for acquiring the environmental information for delivering to an artificial data center to make decisions. The MXene-based sensors have aroused tremendous interest because of their extraordinary performances. In this review, the electrical, electronic, and optical properties of MXenes are first introduced. Next, the MXene-based sensors are discussed according to the sensing mechanisms such as electronic, electrochemical, and optical methods. Initially, biosensors are introduced based on chemiresistors and field-effect transistors. Besides, the wearable pressure sensor is demonstrated with piezoresistive devices. Third, the electrochemical methods include amperometry and electrochemiluminescence as examples. In addition, the optical approaches refer to surface plasmonic resonance and fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Moreover, the prospects are delivered of multimodal data fusion toward complicated human-like senses. Eventually, future opportunities for MXene research are conveyed in the new material discovery, structure design, and proof-of-concept devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
