Summary:Highlights The progression of MXene's oxidation stability, the techniques available to monitor the phenomenon as well as the variables that contribute to its oxidation rate are discussed. Comprehensive aspects of the oxidation process in various storage settings and the debated oxidation mechanism along with the most effective antioxidation strategies are addressed in conjunction with current challenges to the air stability of MXenes. MXenes are under the spotlight due to their versatile physicochemical characteristics. Since their discovery in 2011, significant advancements have been achieved in their synthesis and application sectors. However, the spontaneous oxidation of MXenes, which is critical to its processing and product lifespan, has gotten less attention due to its chemical complexity and poorly understood oxidation mechanism. This perspective focuses on the oxidation stability of MXenes and addresses the most recent advancements in understanding and the possible countermeasures to limit the spontaneous oxidation of MXenes. A section is dedicated to the presently accessible methods for monitoring oxidation, with a discussion on the debatable oxidation mechanism and coherently operating factors that contribute to the complexity of MXenes oxidation. The current potential solutions for mitigating MXenes oxidation and the existing challenges are also discussed with prospects to prolong MXene’s shelf-life storage and expand their application scope.
