摘要

MXene作为新型二维过渡金属碳化物/氮化物材料，凭借其独特的结构和丰富的表面官能团，在分离与净化领域展现出优异性能。结合有关理论及实验研究成果，介绍了MXene膜的后处理稳定性、电学性能和机械性能等物理化学特性，综述了MXene膜在气体分离与捕集、离子筛分、水体净化和有机溶剂纯化等领域的应用研究进展。尽管MXene膜在分离与净化领域展现出较大应用潜力，但仍面临稳定性、层间距调控、溶胀、界面兼容性、成本，以及环境安全等方面的挑战。未来研究需整合表面改性、结构设计和工艺优化等策略，同时探索低成本制备技术，并加强环境安全评估，促进MXene膜在更广泛领域的应用。

Abstract

MXene

as a new type of two-dimensional transition metal carbide/nitride material

has shown excellent performance in the field of separation and purification owing to its unique structure and abundant surface functional groups. Based on relevant theoretical and experimental research results

the physicochemical properties of MXene membranes were introduced

including post-treatment stability

electrical properties and mechanical properties

and the research progress on their applications in gas separation and capture

ion sieving

water purification and organic solvent purification was reviewed. Although MXene membranes exhibit great application potential in the field of separation and purification

they still face challenges such as stability

interlayer spacing regulation

swelling

interfacial compatibility

cost and environmental safety. Future research needs to integrate strategies such as surface modification

structural design and process optimization

while exploring low-cost preparation techniques and strengthening environmental safety assessments

so as to promote the application of MXene membranes in broader fields.
