Abstract

MXene， as a new class of two-dimensional（2D）materials， has garnered extensive research interest due to its excellent electrical conductivity， efficient photo-thermal conversion ability， and rich terminal functional groups. However， the susceptibility of MXene to oxidation and its relatively weak mechanical properties have limited its widespread use in various application fields. MXene-based shape memory composites not only enhance the anti-oxidation and mechanical properties of MXene but also endow the material with intelligent response characteristics in macroscopic 3D structures. These properties open new avenues for MXene applications in information transmission， energy conversion， electromagnetic shielding， and fire safety protection. This study aims to review the research progress in MXene-based shape memory composites comprehensively and deeply analyzes their preparation methods， shape memory mechanisms， and application potential， offering valuable references for further research and development， and application of these composites. Meanwhile， the future direction of MXene-based shape memory composites in terms of efficient preparation， performance optimisation， multifunctional development， and their potential stability enhancement and commercialisation challenges are analysed to effectively promote technological advancement and innovation in this field.
