Abstract MXenes exhibit a special combination of high hydrophilicity and metallic conductivity rendered by the existence of surface terminations (–O, –F, and –OH) and transition metal carbide/nitride. Besides, MXenes combine other unique characteristics, such as high strength and stiffness. We understand that MXenes are materials with huge potential for applications and significant addition to the two-dimensional materials family. Therefore, a review article briefly covering all areas related to MXene for a broader audience is in demand. It demonstrates how MXenes have evolved and advanced since its discovery.
