This cover image depicts the surface functionalization process of MXene with various organic ligand molecules including organic salts, catechols, phosphonates, carboxylates, and silanes. This surface chemistry facilitates favorable interactions between MXene and these ligand molecules, offering significant potential for finely adjusting MXene's physiochemical, electrical, and mechanical properties, while also greatly enhancing dispersion and oxidation stabilities—crucial for practical applications. image
