Review of MXene synthesis and applications in electromagnetic shielding.

With the ongoing advancements in wireless communication and electronic technology, the issue of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) pollution has become increasingly significant. Consequently, developing materials to mitigate EMR pollution is essential. The utility of 2D MXene (TiCT ) for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding was initially reported in 2016. Since then, MXenes have garnered substantial interest from the scientific community owing to their excellent metallic conductivity, low density, expansive specific surface area, and tunable interlayer spacing. In recent years, MXenes have demonstrated considerable promise in EMI shielding applications. This paper aims to examine the structural and chemical properties of MXenes, the methodologies for their synthesis, and summarize the advancements in MXene-based EMI shielding composites, highlighting their performance benefits. Additionally, this review will discuss the prospective developments in MXene-based materials for EMI shielding.
