| description | MXenes, a class of two-dimensional materials with appealing properties such as electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, and chemical stability, is rapidly gaining attention for potential applications in various fields, including energy storage, water treatment, biomedicine, and electromagnetic shielding. One of the most exciting developments is their integration with 3D printing technologies, which allows for precise control over material structure and composition. This combination has significantly expanded the scope of MXenes, particularly in electrochemical storage systems like supercapacitors and batteries, where 3D-printed MXene-based materials have demonstrated superior performance. This review article provides a detailed analysis of the synthesis, properties, and applications of MXenes, with a particular focus on their role in additive manufacturing. While the synergy between MXenes and 3D printing offers numerous advantages, challenges such as large-scale production, material stability, and refining processing techniques remain significant hurdles; all these issues are discussed in the present work. Future research directions are also highlighted that aim to enhance scalability, reduce costs, and explore new composite formulations to optimize the performance of MXenes across various applications. |
