Research Progress of Thermoelectric Properties of MXenes-Based Materials
As a new two-dimensional layered material,MXenes(transition metal carbides and nitrides)have a special layered structure in which the inner layer is connected by covalent bonds and the outer layer is joined by weak van der Waals forces.This structural and bonding property makes MXenes materials of great interest.Because of its metallic conductivity and adjustable electronic band gap,MXenes have great potential application value in the field of thermoelectric materials.The development of MXenes materials as thermoelectric materials is briefly discussed in this review,along with the thermoelectric properties of MXenes materials that have been verified through theoretical calculation and experiment.Finally,the future development of MXenes as a thermoelectric material is briefly discussed.
