Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
MXenes are a rapidly expanding family of two-dimensional transition-metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides whose physicochemical properties can be extensively tuned through both lattice composition and surface terminations. Their metallic conductivity, optical responses, tunable surface chemistry, and solution processability make MXenes attractive for applications in energy storage, electronics and biomedicine. However, practical implementation remains constrained by restacking, limited oxidation stability, and poor compatibility with organic environments. The emerging surface functionalization and organic hybridization strategies enable deliberate control over interfacial charge transport, molecular assembly, interlayer spacing, colloidal behavior, and multifunctional property integration, thereby opening new opportunities for rational MXene interface engineering. This review primarily summarizes surface functionalization and hybridization strategies, comprehensive structure–interface–property framework that critically correlates MXene synthesis routes, termination chemistry, organic hybridization mechanisms, and resulting functional performance across diverse applications. Moreover, covalent and non-covalent interaction mechanisms are systematically examined, with particular emphasis on how organic hybridization governs binding configurations, dispersibility, oxidation resistance, conductivity retention, and optical responses. We further discuss how tailored organic–MXene interfaces improve performance in printable electronics, functionalized MXene composites, energy storage and harvesting systems, and biomedical applications. By emphasizing mechanistic understanding and interfacial engineering principles, this review provides design guidelines for next-generation MXene hybrid systems with optimized stability, conductivity, processability, and multifunctionality.
