Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) MXene structure, versatile surface reactivity, flexibility, wearability, and outstanding thermal attributes make them highly suitable for numerous applications. This comprehensive review based on MXenes delves into the potential uses of fewer assessed applications, such as materials, solar thermal desalination, energy harvesting, electrochemical sensing, environmental remediation, and removal of heavy metal ions. Several industries associated with the summarized applications include hybrid photovoltaic thermal systems, energy storage, energy conversion, soft electronics, and other industries. Further, the review underscores the importance and future guidance of continued research in the MXene field to harness the potential benefits of not only summarized applications but also diverse applications. © 2025 The Author(s).
