description Two-dimensional (2D) inorganic compounds, MXenes, are the most promising candidate for chemical sensors and environmental remediation. Since the first synthesis of Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> MXene from the Ti<sub>3</sub>AlC<sub>2</sub> MAX phase in 2011, 2D materials have been attracting significant attention from a wide range of scientific communities because of their unique physicochemical properties. The attractive properties of MXenes motivated us to explore the new wave of front-end research and applications. Over the past 12 years, there have been more than 10,000 theoretical and experimental studies on MXenes. All these publications have primarily focused on Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> MXene because of its fascinating material properties and tunability towards target applications. To provide readers with a fundamental understanding of this emerging 2D material, this review discusses the recent trends in the design of Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> MXene for gas sensors and energy harvesting applications. For the most updated information, this review focuses on important findings and applications reported in the last decade.
