Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides and nitrides, referred to as MXenes, are attracting increasing attention as adaptable components for high-performance electrical and sensing devices. This perspective examines their function across three intersecting platforms: resistive switching memory, gas sensors, and gasistors that integrate both functionalities. Solution-based synthesis, laser patterning, and low-temperature assembly on flexible substrates are emphasized as methods that accelerate the transition from powder to device. Spontaneous oxidation, moisture-driven degradation, and precise termination control remain challenges to overcome, but new solutions, including surface passivation, fluoride-free etching, and data-driven material selection, are being developed rapidly. This article proposes design guidelines that connect atomic-scale chemistry with device-level metrics, facilitating the transition of MXene memories, sensors, and gasistors from proof-of-concept studies to reliable systems for energy storage, neuromorphic computation, and environmental monitoring.
期刊介绍:
Electronic Materials Letters is an official journal of the Korean Institute of Metals and Materials. It is a peer-reviewed international journal publishing print and online version. It covers all disciplines of research and technology in electronic materials. Emphasis is placed on science, engineering and applications of advanced materials, including electronic, magnetic, optical, organic, electrochemical, mechanical, and nanoscale materials. The aspects of synthesis and processing include thin films, nanostructures, self assembly, and bulk, all related to thermodynamics, kinetics and/or modeling.
