Toward sustainable energy: Metal oxide semiconductor/MXene-based nanocomposite for the production of solar fuels
The pressing need for clean, renewable, and sustainable energy sources has catalysed extensive research into innovative materials and technologies for efficient energy production. Solar energy, mainly through solar fuels, is recognized as a clean, abundant, and eco-friendly resource, pivotal to the shift toward a sustainable energy infrastructure. Among various strategies, photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical processes enhanced by MXene co-catalysts have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in solar fuel production. Recent breakthroughs reveal that MXene-supported metal oxide semiconductors (MOS) exhibit unique synergistic properties, positioning them as highly promising materials for catalysts and photoelectrodes in these applications. This comprehensive review highlights the latest advancements in MOS/MXene-based nanocomposites, focusing on their roles in efficient solar energy capture and conversion. The discussion encompasses their application in photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical water splitting, CO2 reduction, and N2 fixation, showcasing their versatile capabilities. Finally, prospects, challenges, and pathways are explored for the continued advancement of MOS/MXene-based devices.
