Mxene, as a new two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial, has attracted extensive attention in many fields due to its unique high conductivity and high electrochemical surface activity. At present, the research on MXene materials mainly focuses on the fields of composite materials, lubricants, environmental pollution control, energy storage, catalysis, sensors and so on, and there are few applications in the field of textile and garment. However, MXene materials have multi-functional properties and many advantages, and the future application prospect in the field of clothing should not be underestimated. Taking Ti3C2Tx MXene as the main research object, this paper summarizes the various characteristics of MXene that may be suitable for clothing materials, and explores its application in wearable devices, electromagnetic shielding, antibacterial and other clothing materials. The prospects and challenges of Mxene in clothing materials are analyzed.
