%X The assembly of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials into a three-dimensional (3D) aerogel can effectively prevent the problem of restacking. Here, nanofiber-reinforced MXene/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) conductive aerogel is prepared via the hydrothermal reduction of GO using pyrrole and in situ composite with MXene. Combined with low-content 2D conductive nanosheets (MXene and rGO) as "brick", conductive polypyrrole as "mortar", and one-dimensional (1D) nanofiber as "rebar", a strong interfacial cross-linking of MXene and rGO nanosheets is realized through covalent and noncovalent bonds to synergistically improve its mechanical performance. Based on the prepared MXene/rGO aerogel, a high-performance piezoresistive sensor with a sensitivity of up to 20.80 kPa-1 in a wide pressure range of 15.6 kPa is obtained, and it can withstand more than 5000 cyclic compressions. Besides, the sensor shows a stable output and can be applied to monitor various human motion signals. In addition, an all-solid-state supercapacitor electrode is also fabricated, which shows a high area-specific capacitance of up to 274 mF/cm2 at a current density of 1 mA/cm2.
