Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

MXene in 2011, significant progress has been made in using MXenes as chemiresistive sensors. Their layered structure, abundant surface groups, hydrophilicity, tunable conductivity, and excellent thermal properties make MXenes ideal for low-power, flexible, room temperature gas sensors, fostering scalable and reproducible applications in portable devices. This review evaluates the latest advancements in MXene-based gas sensors, beginning with an overview of the elemental compositions, structures, and typical fabrication process of MXenes. We subsequently examine their applications in gas sensing domains, evaluating the proposed mechanisms for detecting common volatile organic compounds such as acetone, formaldehyde, ethanol, ammonia, and nitrogen oxides. To set this apart from similar reviews, our focus centered on the mechanistic interactions between MXene sensing materials and analytes (particularly for chemiresistive gas sensors), leveraging the distinct functionalities of MXene chemistries, which can be finely tuned for specific applications. Ultimately, we examine the current limitations and prospective research avenues concerning the utilization of MXenes in environmental and biomedical applications.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
