Abstract

Cutting MXene to a minimum size and forming the derived two-dimensional MXene quantum dots (MQDs), which possess a unique intrinsic layered geometry structure, restricts exciton due to their novel spatial dimension. This gives rise to a broad spectrum of fascinating properties, rendering them for various applications. Herewith, the correlation between composition, structure, and processing control of MQDs is investigated systematically, giving further insight into the intrinsic and extrinsic properties. This review also provides an opportunity to explore new compositions, modify the properties, and tailor MQDs into the guided architectural design before any prospective applications.
