As demand grows for high-performance sodium-ion batteries, the limits of traditional electrode materials in capacity and rate capability become more evident. Now, researchers from Sichuan University, ...
The nanomaterial MXene is used for battery technology or as a high-performance lubricant. Until now, its production was difficult and toxic. New methods for its creation have been developed at TU Wien ...
Electronic transport and superconductivity in Nb2CTn MXenes. (A) Temperature-dependent resistivity for the cold-pressed pellets of Nb2AlC MAX phase and Nb2CCl2 MXene. (Inset) Magnetic susceptibility ...
MXenes are 2D nanomaterials that exhibit high conductivity, high surface area, high functionalization, a site of hydroxide, and many other interesting properties. They were only discovered in 2011, ...
Hydrogen is one of the most abundant elements on Earth and an exceptionally clean fuel source. While it is making its way into the fuel cells of electric cars, busses and heavy equipment, its ...
Ten years after producing the first sample of the now widely studied family of nanomaterials, called MXenes, Drexel University researchers have discovered a different way to make the atom-thin ...
Faulty areas are susceptible to oxidative deterioration processes with oxygen or water molecules, which degrade MXene inherent characteristics. Recent research has provided an insight into the nature ...
Metallic conductivity and hydrophilicity of MXenes have established them as electrodes in rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors, as well as other applications, including photothermal cancer ...
