“…A novel TENG was constructed using Ti 3 C 2 MXene supported by cotton fabric as the electrode layer. To create the electrode layer, cotton fabric was immersed in a mixture of Ti3C2 MXene and cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) 99 . The Ti 3 C 2 MXene provided electrical conductivity and negativity, while the fabric substrate provided strength and flexibility.…”

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have shown immense potential as self‐powering devices for energy harvesting, electronics, and self‐powered sensing devices. However, the performance of TENGs largely depends on the materials used, therefore, it is crucial to select appropriate materials. While dielectric polymers, metals, and inorganic materials have been commonly employed as active materials for TENGs, there is a need to explore new materials that offer improved performance. One promising material is two‐dimensional MXenes, which have shown exciting potential in various applications, including wearable sensors and electrochemical energy storage. For this reason, further research is needed to fully evaluate the performance of MXenes‐based TENGs and to determine their suitability for practical applications. This review emphasizes the significance of material selection in order to optimize the performance of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). Here, the mechanism of TENGs is clearly explained for devices that convert mechanical energy into electric energy. The concept of the triboelectric effect is also described, which generates charge density on material surfaces, along with various types of TENG working modes. The selection of materials is thoroughly discussed, highlighting the growing interest in polymeric and biopolymeric materials, as well as functionalized and inorganic triboelectric materials. Also, exploration of materials that can enhance the output of TENGs, such as chemical modification techniques and the utilization of 2D materials like graphene and MXenes to improve triboelectricity is also included. The synthesis methods and techniques for MXenes are explored in detail. Furthermore, the performance of MXenes‐based TENGs for energy harvesting and self‐powered sensing is evaluated, and their potential applications in wearable devices are assessed. The study concludes by providing recommendations for future research on MXenes‐based TENGs and their applications in wearable devices.

“…7 MXenes are a family of two-dimensional (2D) materials and have attracted a lot of attention owing to their unique structure and properties in various fields. 8–14 The general formula of MXene is M n +1 X n T x ( n = 1–4), where M is an early transition metal, X is carbon and/or nitrogen, and T x stands for surface terminations such as –O, –F, and –Cl. In 2017, Ran et al reported that Ti 3 C 2 MXene worked as a co-catalyst for CdS with a H 2 production rate of 14 342 μmol g −1 h −1 .…”

“…[ 9 ] Fabric‐based sensors are the greatest option for creating wearable devices because they are lightweight, flexible, and breathable, but creating high‐performance, extremely stable, and robust fabric‐based sensors is still difficult. [ 10 ] Plastics and rubber are two other popular substrate materials. Although plastics and rubber are flexible and have high relative mechanical strength, they have poor electrical conductivity, resistance, and permeability and are frequently used as substrates for laminated composites.…”

The rational design and applications of MXene-based materials have yielded remarkable progress in flexible sensors, including wearable devices, soft robots, and smart medical equipment. The emerging MXene and substrate materials can be precisely engineered to improve the mechanical properties and sensing sensitivity of the sensors, opening up a wider range of application possibilities for MXene-based sensors. Therefore, a systematic and comprehensive review summarizing the progress of MXene-based sensor research based on these backgrounds is necessary. First, we discuss the basic structure of MXene materials and introduce the flexible substrate materials for MXene-based flexible sensors in detail. Then, we also discuss the different preparation methods of MXene-based sensors, describe the classifications, and highlight the applications of MXene-based flexible sensors in various scenarios. Finally, we identify the challenges that need to be overcome to accelerate the development of MXene-based materials in flexible sensing. This review provides a comprehensive and systematic insight into MXene-based flexible sensors and it is expected that this review will contribute to the development of higher performance MXene-based flexible sensors.
