Mxene-based Nanocomposite for Electrochemical Hydrogen Evolution Reaction: Experimental and Theoretical Advances

MXene's outstanding performance in driving the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) has attracted significant interest. The HER involves hydrogen generation by electrolyzing water. It is widely recognized that hydrogen represents a renewable and future-oriented alternative energy source that is currently receiving significant attention. On the other hand, MXenes also have a crucial function as catalysts, elevating the pace and effectiveness of chemical reactions. Moreover, their properties make them essential in diverse fields, contributing to advancements in energy storage, sensing technology, and catalysis for improved reactions. Herein, we highlighted MXene nanocomposite materials from synthesized to utilization in HER reaction both experimentally and theoretically. Various MXene-based nanocomposites, which consist of monomer, carbon, and oxide that can be used in hydrogen evolution reactions, are also elaborated in detail. Ultimately, we concluded this review with the future prospect of MXenes in electrochemical HER.
