RESUMO
As the most studied two-dimensional (2D) material from the MXene family, Ti3C2Tx has constantly gained interest from academia and industry. Ti3C2Tx MXene has the highest electrical conductivity (up to 24,000 S cm-1) and one of the highest stiffness values with a Young's modulus of â¼ 334 GPa among water-dispersible conductive 2D materials. The negative surface charge of MXene helps to disperse it well in aqueous and other polar solvents. This solubility across a wide range of solvents, excellent interface interaction, tunable surface functionality, and stability with other organic/polymeric materials combined with the layered structure of Ti3C2Tx MXene make it a promising material for anticorrosion coatings. While there are many reviews on Ti3C2Tx MXene polymer composites for catalysis, flexible electronics, and energy storage, to our knowledge, no review has been published yet on MXenes' anticorrosion applications. In this brief report, we summarize the current progress and the development of Ti3C2Tx polymer composites for anticorrosion. We also provide an outlook and discussion on possible ways to improve the exploitation of Ti3C2Tx polymer composites as anticorrosive materials. Finally, we provide a perspective beyond Ti3C2Tx MXene composition for the development of future anticorrosion coatings.
