MXenes, a class of two-dimensional transition metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides, were initially discovered in 2011. Since then, numerous compositions within this new 2D material group have been synthesized. Recently, there has been a significant increase in publications on MXenes, driven by their unique properties such as high electrical conductivity and versatile surface functionality. These properties make them highly suitable for various applications including energy storage, water purification, and electromagnetic interference shielding. MXenes are derived from MAX phases, where the etching process selectively removes metal layers (such as Aluminum or Gallium) to reveal the MXene structure. Our research specifically focuses on utilizing MXene derived from Manganese metal. Initially, we employ Mn2AlC as the precursor to synthesize Mn2CTx, following which we investigate their characterization and potential applications.
