The tunable electric and magnetic properties of 2D MXenes and their potential applications

Abstract

The electrical and magnetic properties of 2D materials remain a subject of interest among researchers. After the discovery of the first 2D carbon material, the exfoliation of 2D MXenes has catalyzed their versatile applications in nanomedicine, spintronics, microwave absorption and energy storage systems. The pristine MXenes have a metallic character, but the presence of the terminal group makes it easy to tune their electrical and magnetic properties. This review paper is mainly focused on the electrical and magnetic property based applications such as cancer theranostics, spintronics, and shielding against electromagnetic pollution. This review paper will pave the way to designing the next generation of MXene based multifunctional materials with promising opportunities.
