The rapid development
of consumer electronics, artificial intelligence,
and clinical medicine generates an increasing demand for flexible
pressure sensors, whose performance depends significantly on sensitive
materials with high flexibility and proper conductivity. MXene, a
type of 2D nanomaterial, has attracted extensive attention due to
its good electrical conductivity, hydrophilicity, and flexibility.
The synthesis methods for MXenes make it relatively easy to control
their microstructure and surface termination groups. Hence, MXenes
can obtain peculiar microstructures and facilely combine with other
functional materials, making them promising prospects for use in flexible
pressure sensors. In this Review, recent advances in MXenes are summarized,
mainly focusing on the synthesis methods and their application in
flexible pressure sensors. Finally, the challenges and potential solutions
for future development are also discussed.
