emission. To address these problems, researchers have turned to two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbide or nitride (MXene) materials, which possess strong near-infrared adsorption, photothermal conversion, shear ability, low friction coefficient, and impermeability. These properties make MXene a promising candidate for surface protection on metals in electric power, including anti-icing, anti-wear, and anti-corrosion applications. However, the comprehensively protective ability and the promising application of MXene in electric power have not yet been reported. In this review, recent progress in MXene-based composites for anti-icing, anti-wear, and anti-corrosion in electric power is summarized to understand the protective mechanisms and the promising applications. First, the chemical and structure of MXene are briefly introduced, followed by a summary of its intrinsic properties. Next, the latest research on deicing MXene composite coatings, anti-wear MXene-based composites and coatings, and anti-corrosive MXene coatings, along with the corresponding mechanisms, is discussed. Finally, the challenges and opportunities of MXene-based composites in electric power are highlighted. This review provides guidance for understanding the comprehensively protective abilities of MXene and rationally designing MXene-based materials used in electric power.
