Research progress of MXene flame-retardant materials
MXene is an emerging class of inorganic two-dimensional(2D)structural materials following graphene,which has attracted wide attention in the fields of materials science,biomedicine and nanotechnology in recent years.MXene has good thermal stability,unique layered structure,excellent catalytic activity and adjustable chemical properties,which will confer excellent flame-retardant properties to the materials if it is used as a flame retardant for flame-retardant treatment.This paper described in detail the preparation methods of MXene by etching and chemical vapor deposition,as well as the flame-retardant mechanism of MXene and the research progress of MXene flame-retardant materials.It highlighted the advancements in modifying MXene flame-retardant materials through the addition of modifiers,surface functional group modifications and covalent bonding functionalization,and the research on the synergistic enhancement of polymer flame-retardant effect by MXene with other flame retardants to improve the flame retardancy of polymers.Finally,the development prospect of MXene flame-retardant materials was also prospected.
