ABSTRACT
Among the two-dimensional (2D) family of materials such as graphene, boron nitride nanosheets, and transition metal dichalcogenides, MXenes have gained popularity due to many advantages, including outstanding electrical conductivity, low density, tunable active surface, thermal stability, large surface area, excellent mechanical strength, and solution processability. Several papers on the energy storage and energy conversion devices on MXenes, including batteries, supercapacitors, sensors, photo/electro-catalysis, solar fuel generation, and nano-electronics/optoelectronics, have been reported that establish the MXene as a shining star. The tunable conductivity from metallic to semiconducting and the intriguing magnetic properties of MXenes give it the leadership position, particularly in the field of electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding applications. Among the varieties of MXenes, titanium carbide (Ti3C2Tx) has been explored a lot due to low production cost and ease of synthesis. Moreover, pristine 2D titanium carbide MXene film shows outstanding EMI shielding properties. To improve the intrinsic EMI shielding performance of titanium carbide MXenes, researchers have focused on the titanium carbide MXene composite and hybrids with different structures. The present chapter includes the development of advanced titanium carbide/nitrides MXene-based composites and hybrids for EMI shielding.
