Abstract
The atomically thick two-dimensional (2D) materials
are at the forefront of revolutionary technologies for energy
storage devices. Due to their fascinating physical and chemical
features, these materials have gotten a lot of attention. They are
particularly appealing for a wide range of applications, including
electrochemical storage systems, due to their simplicity of property
tuning. The MXene is a type of 2D material that is widely
recognized for its exceptional electrochemical characteristics. The
use of these materials in conjunction with conducting polymers,
notably polypyrrole (PPy), has opened new possibilities for
lightweight, flexible, and portable electrodes. Therefore, herein we
report a comprehensive review of recent achievements in the
production of MXene/PPy nanocomposites. The structural−
property relationship of this class of nanocomposites was taken into consideration with an elaborate discussion of the various
characterizations employed. As a result, this research gives a narrative explanation of how PPy interacts with distinct MXenes to
produce desirable high-performance nanocomposites. The effects of MXene incorporation on the thermal, electrical, and
electrochemical characteristics of the resultant nanocomposites were discussed. Finally, it is critically reviewed and presented as an
advanced composite material in electrochemical storage devices, energy conversion, electrochemical sensors, and electromagnetic
interference shielding.
