Swift advancement on designing smart nanomaterials and production of hybrids nanomaterials are motivated by pressing issues connected with energy crisis. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are the crucial materials for electrochemical energy storage utilization, but their sustainability is questionable due to inaccessible pores, the poor electrical conductivity and limited chemical stability. Despite massive attempts towards enhancing the MOFs stability, researchers have made little progress in becoming interested in the development of hybrid nanomaterials. To address this issue, MOFs hybridization with functional layered MXene materials, a type of 2D transition-metal nitrides, carbonitrides and carbides that are known for their compositional versatility with rich surface chemistry, can be beneficial for energy storage applications. In this review, we tried to discuss the recent potential design protocols of MXene@MOF hybrids, which provided tunable properties for the prepared hybrids, and their utilization in electrochemical energy storage such as batteries and supercapacitors.
