Article Abstract
Developing lightweight, high-performance electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing materials those can absorb the adverse electromagnetic radiation or waves are of great significance. Transition metal carbides and/or nitrides (MXenes) are a novel type of 2D nanosheets associated with a large aspect ratio, abundant polar functional groups, adjustable conductivity, and remarkable mechanical properties. This contributes to the high-efficiency assembly of MXene-based aerogels possessing the ultra-low density, large specific surface area, tunable conductivity, and unique 3D porous microstructure, which is beneficial for promoting the EMW absorption. Therefore, MXene-based aerogels for EMW absorption have attracted widespread attention. This review provides an overview of the research progress on MXene-based aerogels for EMW absorption, focusing on the recent advances in component and structure design strategies, and summarizes the main strategies for constructing EMW absorbing MXene-based aerogels. In addition, based on EMW absorption mechanisms and structure regulation strategies, the preparation methods and properties of MXene-based aerogels with varieties of components and pore structures are detailed to advance understanding the relationships of composition-structure-performance. Furthermore, the future development and challenges faced by MXene-based aerogels for EMW absorption are summarized and prospected.

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are limited in practical application due to the lack of an anode material with sufficient lifetime and excellent rate performance. To address this issue, Se-doped MoS nanosheets grown on 3D MXene aerogel (TiCT/MoSSe) is proposed as advanced anode material in SIBs. The 3D MXene aerogel structure, the directional arrangement of the MoS nanosheets, and the in situ heterostructure facilitate the rapid transfer of Na, mitigate the volume expansion during sodium ion storage, and generate more active sites.

The advancement of multispectral surveillance technologies has rendered conventional single-band camouflage materials ineffective, driving an urgent demand for multispectral-compatible stealth materials. Herein, we report a multidimensional MXene-based composite aerogel engineered via cost-effective lyophilization for radar-infrared compatible camouflage. As building blocks, few-layer TiCT MXene nanosheets functionalized with NiB alloy nanoparticles and thermoresponsive VO phase-change materials are cross-linked by poly(vinyl alcohol) to construct the MXene/NiB/VO composite aerogel through one-step cryo-assembly.

MXenes are a class of 2D materials that have gained significant attention for their potential applications in energy storage, electromagnetic interference shielding, biomedicine, and (opto)electronics. Despite their broad range of applications, a detailed understanding of the internal architecture of MXene-based materials remains limited due to the lack of effective 3D imaging techniques. This work demonstrates the application of X-ray micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) to investigate various MXene systems, including nanocomposites, coated textiles, and aerogels.

2D MXene-based liquid crystalline (LC) systems have emerged as promising precursors for constructing highly ordered functional materials, such as fibers, films, and aerogels via solution-based processing. In this study, we demonstrate surface tension-mediated self-planarization of MXene LC fibers by adjusting the solvent composition during wet-spinning, targeting improved electrochemical performance. Ethanol, a poor solvent for MXene, induced spontaneous parallel alignment of MXene platelets and facilitated densification into a ribbon-like geometry during coagulation.
