MXene for 3D Printing Applications: A Review
摘要
The integration of MXenes, a family of two-dimensional materials, with 3D printing technologies presents exciting possibilities for advanced manufacturing. With their exceptional electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, and tunable surface chemistry, MXenes have the potential to revolutionize applications in sensors, energy storage, medical devices, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. Their relevance in 3D architecture is particularly significant, offering unique advantages that justify their selection for such applications. MXene-based 3D printing enables sustainable, reproducible fabrication with minimal waste, no post-processing, and eco-friendly integration. MXene materials pave the way to face the critical challenge of combating climate change by improving the efficiency of renewable energy systems. This review explores how MXene-based 3D-printed structures can contribute to more efficient, durable, and environmentally friendly solutions while also addressing the challenges associated with their development. By examining various 3D printing methods, such as selective laser sintering (SLS), fused deposition modeling (FDM), and direct ink writing (DIW), and their compatibility with MXenes, this study provides insights into optimizing their use for next-generation materials and devices.
