Abstrakt: Biological macroporous materials, such as stems of the plants and bone of the animals, possess outstanding properties for powerful guarantee of creatures' survival through the well-aligned architecture constructed from limited components. Transition metal carbides or nitrides (MXenes), as novel 2D assemblies, have attracted numerous attentions in various applications due to their unique properties. Therefore, mimicking the bioinspired architecture with MXenes will boost the development of human-made materials with unparalleled properties. Freeze casting has been widely applied to fabricate bioinspired MXene-based materials and achieve the assembly of MXene nanosheets into 3D forms. This process solves the inherent restacking problems of MXenes, simultaneously preserving the unique properties of MXenes with a physical process. Here, the ice-templated assembly of MXene in terms of the freezing processes and their potential mechanisms is summarized. In addition, applications of MXene-based materials in electromagnetic interference shielding and absorption, energy storage and conversion, as well as piezoresistive pressure sensors are also reviewed. Finally, the current challenges and bottlenecks of ice-templated assembly of MXene are further discussed to guide the development of bioinspired MXene-based materials.
