In the present mini-review article, we have compiled the previously reported literature on the fabrication of MXenes and their hybrid composite materials based electrochemical sensors for the determination of phenolic compounds and counter electrodes for platinum (Pt)-free dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). MXenes are two-dimensional (2D) materials with excellent optoelectronic and physicochemical properties. MXenes and their composite materials have been extensively used in the construction of electrochemical sensors and solar cell applications. In this paper, we have reviewed and compiled the progress in the construction of phenolic sensors based on MXenes and their composite materials. In addition, co1.unter electrodes based on MXenes and their composites have been reviewed for the development of Pt-free DSSCs. We believe that the present review article will be beneficial for the researchers working towards the development of phenolic sensors and DSSCs using MXenes and their composites as electrode materials.
