Ti3C2Tx MXene-Based Flexible Piezoresistive Physical Sensors

MXenes have received increasing attention due to their two-dimensional layered structure, high conductivity, hydrophilicity, and large specific surface area. Because of these distinctive advantages, MXenes are considered as very competitive pressure-sensitive materials in applications of flexible piezoresistive sensors. This work reviews the preparation methods, basic properties, and assembly methods of MXenes and their recent developments in piezoresistive sensor applications. The recent developments of MXene-based flexible piezoresistive sensors can be categorized into one-dimensional fibrous, two-dimensional planar, and three-dimensional sensors according to their various structures. The trends of multifunctional integration of MXene-based pressure sensors are also summarized. Finally, we end this review by describing the opportunities and challenges for MXene-based pressure sensors and the great prospects of MXenes in the field of pressure sensor applications.
