Recent Progress in TiCT MXene-Based Flexible Pressure Sensors.

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.
