  MXenes are a class of 2D/layered materials which are highly conductive,
hydrophilic, have a large electrochemical surface area and are easily
processible into electrodes for energy applications. Since the discovery of
MXenes over ten years ago, these materials have been mainly used in the
preparation of electrodes for batteries and supercapacitors. However, due to
their aforementioned properties, MXenes could potentially be utilised as a
component in the catalyst layer for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER). This
opinion piece will discuss some of the recent literature in the area of hybrid
catalysts consisting of various Transition Metal Oxides (TMOs) and MXenes for
the OER. We will also discuss current drawbacks and future outlook in this new
area of research.
