Special Issue Information

The rapid development of wearable electronics, flexible sensors, and intelligent devices has created increasing demands for advanced materials with high conductivity, mechanical flexibility, lightweight characteristics, and multifunctional capabilities. MXenes, a rapidly emerging family of two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides, have attracted significant attention due to their excellent electrical conductivity, tunable surface chemistry, hydrophilic properties, mechanical flexibility, and solution processability. These unique features make MXenes promising building blocks for next-generation flexible and wearable devices. By integrating MXenes with polymers, nanomaterials, and advanced structural designs, MXene-based functional systems provide new opportunities for developing high-performance wearable technologies, including flexible sensors, energy storage devices, electromagnetic interference shielding materials, and human–machine interactive platforms.

This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest advancements and emerging trends in the design, fabrication, characterization, and applications of MXene-based flexible devices for wearable technologies. The topics covered include, but are not limited to:
(1) Innovative synthesis, surface modification, and functionalization strategies of MXene materials;
(2) Advanced fabrication technologies for MXene-based flexible, stretchable, and multifunctional devices;
(3) MXene-based wearable sensors, electronic skins, and human–machine interfaces;
(4) Flexible energy storage and conversion devices enabled by MXenes;
(5) MXene-based electromagnetic interference shielding and electromagnetic wave absorption materials for wearable applications;
(6) Structural design, environmental stability, and multifunctional integration of MXene-based wearable systems.

This Special Issue aims to promote interdisciplinary research on MXene materials, flexible electronics, and wearable technologies, accelerating the development of next-generation intelligent devices toward practical applications.
