摘      要：This article covers the potential of MXenes as a versatile solid lubricant. MXenes are recognized for their potential across diverse applications ranging from energy storage to fields like biology and medicine. Recently, MXenes research experienced rapid growth in understanding the tribological characteristics due to the outstanding mechanical properties and chemical reactivities. The commercial applications are restricted due to the limited research on MXene-doped composites. The laid down physics, responsible for the improvement in the physical and functional properties is also important for better understanding. Hence, in this effort, the cutting-edge application of MXenes with other matrices is thoroughly discussed. This review explores the potential of next-generation MXenes, highlighting key factors that enhance their tribological properties and the fundamental mechanisms behind them. Later discussions highlight the application of MXenes with various matrices and their future importance. Lastly, the fundamental physics to improve MXene properties concisely concluded with the potential of future research.
