Abstract Mn+1 AXn (MAX) phase is a large class of ternary layered compounds with similar structures. Through the solid solution of elements in its M, A, and X positions, a MAX phase solid solution with an extremely rich composition and structure can be formed, which has highly adjus-table mechanical, thermal, electrical, magnetic, and other properties, and has broad application prospects in many fields such as high-temperature structural components, nuclear radiation cladding, electromagnetic wave absorbers, and MXene precursors. In recent years, the preparation of new MAX-phase solid solutions and the exploration of their physicochemical properties have attracted the attention of many researchers, and a large number of high-quality research works have emerged. In this paper, we summarize representative research in the last decade from the aspects of composition, synthesis and preparation, and application of solid solution MAX-phase materials, and we also look forward to future research directions.
