Abstract The superconductivity of two-dimensional (2D) materials has extremely important research significance. To date, superconducting transition temperatures ($T_{\rm c}$) of 2D superconductors are still far from practical applications. Previously, 2D MXene Mo$_2$N has been successfully synthesized [Urbankowski et al. Nanoscale 9 17722, (2017)]. We systematically investigate the effects of carbonization and further hydrogenation on the stability, electronic property and superconductivity of 1T- and 2H-$M_{2}$N ($M$ = Mo, W) based on first-principles calculations. The results show that the 1T-$M_{2}$N and 2H-$M_{2}$N ($M$ = Mo, W) are all dynamically and thermodynamically stable after carbonization and further hydrogenation. After carbonization, $T_{\rm c}$'s of 1T-$M_{2}$NC$_{2}$ ($M$ = Mo, W) are all increased, while $T_{\rm c}$'s of 2H-$M_{2}$NC$_{2}$ ($M$ = Mo, W) are all decreased. By further hydrogenation, the $T_{\rm c}$'s of 1T- and 2H-$M_{2}$NC$_{2}$H$_{2}$ are all increased. Among all of these structures, $T_{\rm c}$ of 1T-Mo$_2$NC$_2$H$_2$ is the highest one, reaching 42.7 K, and the corresponding electron-phonon coupling strength $\lambda$ is 2.27. Therefore, hydrogenation is an effective method to modulate $T_{\rm c}$'s of 2D $M_{2}$NC$_{2}$ ($M$ = Mo, W) materials.
