Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are directed to providing charge mitigation via a MXene-based conductive pathway on a spacesuit. In one aspect, a system for planetary exploration to provide charge mitigation on an outer surface of the spacesuit comprises a multilayered fabric including a woven layer, wherein the woven layer includes a first side to face a space environment and an opposing side to face a body of a wearer of the spacesuit and a MXene coating layer applied on the opposing side, wherein the MXene coating layer extends through the thickness the woven layer to conductively couple a first location on an exterior surface of the spacesuit with a second location on the exterior surface of the spacesuit.

Abstract: An article, a method of making the same, and a method of using the same are provided. Such an article includes at least one coated layer, which includes a substrate and a coating disposed on the substrate. The coating includes a layered nanomaterial and a solute embedded and distributed in the layered nanomaterial. The solute comprises at least one salt soluble in a solvent. The substrate comprises a polymer, for example, a high-performance polymer such as polyether ether ketone and poly(para-phenylene terephthalamide). The article is used for thermal management applications, for example, as protective garment.
