Abstract : Summary Two dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have enticed notable consideration among the research fraternity for their outstanding application in various fields. Among 2D materials, MAX phases and its derivatives called MXenes gained enormous interest owing to their easiness in synthesis and their stable nature as colloidal suspensions in aqueous and a wide range of organic solvents. The blends of properties, including large surface area, hydrophobicity, absorption capability, enhanced electrical conductivity, and better surface reactive nature, have rendered MXenes as significant candidates for a diversity of applications like energy storage, microwave absorption, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, conductive electrodes etc. Current research works point out that MXenes outshine the existing two‐dimensional nanomaterials. The chapter will cover the structure, properties, and associated applications of MXenes, focusing on their microwave absorption and EMI shielding applications. Additionally, the chapter summarizes the EMI shielding and microwave absorption features of MXene/polymer composites with a special mention on MXene based other materials for the same.
