This review article focuses on the development of transparent electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials, particularly those based on MXenes, a class of two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides. The authors highlight the recent advancements in creating highly efficient and optically transparent EMI shields, emphasizing the unique properties of MXenes, such as superior conductivity, optical transparency, flexibility, and processability. The review covers the shielding mechanisms, including absorption, reflection, and multiple reflections, and discusses the performance of MXene-based composites in achieving high EMI shielding effectiveness while maintaining optical transparency. Other materials, including indium tin oxide (ITO), metals, carbon materials, and conductive polymers, are also reviewed for their potential in transparent EMI shielding. The article concludes by discussing the prospects and challenges for future developments, such as improving the trade-off between EMI shielding and transparency, enhancing mechanical properties, developing absorption-dominated shields, integrating multifunctionality, exploring green and efficient MXene preparation methods, and optimizing cost-effectiveness for large-scale application.This review article focuses on the development of transparent electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials, particularly those based on MXenes, a class of two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides.
