Recent advance in electromagnetic shielding of MXenes

As a new type of two-dimensional material, MXene's unique layered structure, outstanding electrical conductivity, low density, tunable surface chemistry, and solution processability make it receive extensive attention in various fields, especially for the lightweight shielding materials since the report on electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding of 2D Ti₃C₂T_x in 2016. In this review, the progress on the MXenes material including their synthetic strategies, properties and EMI application is highlighted. First, the recent advance on the different synthesis methods and properties of MXene is summarized. According to their intrinsic characteristics, the application of MXene in EMI fields is then discussed. Finally, the challenges and perspective on the future development of MXene in low-cost preparation and practical application are proposed.
