AbstractThe discovery of graphene, the first two-dimensional (2D) material, has caused an upsurge, as this kind of material revealed a tremendous potential of application in areas such as energy storage, electronics, and gas separation. MXenes are referred to as a family of 2D transition metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides. After the synthesis of Ti3C2 from Ti3AlC2 in 2011, about 30 new compositions have been reported. These materials have been widely discussed, synthesized, and investigated by many research groups, as they have many advantages over traditional 2D materials. This review covers the structures of MXenes, discusses various synthesis routines, analyzes the properties, especially optical and electronic properties, and summarizes their applications and potential, which may give readers an overview of these popular materials.

Stability Structure

Recently, a number of graphene-like early transition metal carbides and nitrides named as MXenes were fabricated by exfoliating MAX phases in hydrofluoric acid at room temperature. From experiments results and theory calculations, MXenes are promising anode materials in batteries as well as in metal-ion capacitors. To the best of our knowledge, experimental or calculated evidence has been supported the existence of more than 70 MAX phases members. Therefore, many counterparts MXene may be exist. Herein, employing density functional theory (DFT) computations, we have systematically examined the relative stability, structure and electronic properties of a series of two-dimensional metal carbides and nitrides including M2C (M=Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Zr, Nb, Hf, Mo and Ta), M2N (M=Ti, V, Cr, Zr, Hf), M3C2(M=Ti, V, Nb, Ta), Ti3N2, M4C3(M=Ti, V, Nb, Ta) and Ti4N3. The results demonstrate that all MXenes are metallic and have the similarly electronic structure with bulk transition metal carbides and nitrides, indicating that MXene may have superior catalysis and adsorption instead of expensive pure transition metal.
