	MXenes, the newest family member of the two-dimensional materials have been widely investigated for different applications, particularly in the energy storage realm. With regard to this, MXene precursors have attained widespread attention for the application in electrochemical energy storage devices especially supercapacitors and batteries. This review has comprehensively studied various synthesis strategies adopted for MXenes including the top-down and bottom-up approaches. The shift to renewable energy alternatives have focused on the electrochemical choices such as supercapacitors and batteries, the most common and relevant ones. Thus the application of MXenes and its composite in supercapacitors as electrodes have been analyzed along with its detailed mechanism and electrochemical performance. Several battery chemistries including lithium-ion, sodium-ion and other battery systems utilizing MXenes have also been discussed here. Thus the existing strategies, advancements, and drawbacks regarding the inclusivity of MXenes in the electrochemical energy systems of supercapacitors and batteries are reviewed in this article.</p>

	The ever increasing proportion of an energy consuming society and the boost in industrialization accelerated the depletion of fossil fuel based energy sources at an alarming rate. This emphasizes the necessity of sustainable energy generation and storage to meet the daily energy demands. But, these alternative renewable energy sources like solar and wind power are intermittent and highly depend on weather, place and individuals. This creates the inevitability of suitable energy storage devices like batteries and supercapacitors. The interfacing of energy storing devices is required to maintain the supply chain equilibrium, power efficiency, regulate power fluctuations and reduce pollution. Besides, the boom in electric mobility and consumer electronics also require uninterrupted power supply. Hence, in the upcoming years the energy storing devices play a vital role in addressing the energy crisis. Innovations in new materials and technologies will be the core area of research and development in the coming future. 2D materials like graphene,transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes), transition metal borides (MBenes) and so on are the new class of materials among them MXenes are getting more attention in energy storage owing to its exceptional properties.</p>
