Abstract MAX phase materials a new family of ternary layered carbide and nitride compounds are represented by the general formula of Mn+1AXn, where n = 1 ∼ 3, M stands for early transition metal, A express A-group elements, and X is either nitrogen or carbon. As early as 1960s, this materials had been paied much attention due to their unique physical properties combination of metals and ceramics such
