“…Leonard et al synthesized several TMC nanowires such as Nb 4 C 3 , Cr 3 C 2 , TaC, and WC by the MSS (Figure S9). The MSS was also successful to synthesize complex nanostructured metal carbides such as Ti 3 AlC 2 and (Ta 0.25 Nb 0.25 Ti 0.25 V 0.25 )C. − The as-synthesized nanostructured Ti 3 AlC 2 was converted into Ti 3 C 2 by etching in hydrofluoric acid. , …”

A wide range of inorganic nanomaterials with many fascinating properties and application potentials in widespread fields may be synthesized by wet chemical synthetic routes. To achieve scientific and commercial viability of nanomaterials with uniformity and scalability, it is necessary to develop efficient and cost-effective, preferably sustainable, methods. The molten salt synthesis (MSS) method is one such bottom-up technique to fabricate a wide variety of inorganic nanomaterials with tunable size, morphology, and surface characteristics. It is also environmentally friendly, cost-effective, simple to operate, easy to scale, and generalizable, etc. This review gives a critical overview on this emerging and rapidly developing method for making defect free nanomaterials in well-defined texture, surface, and morphology at a relatively low formation temperature. We have discussed its different aspects, including the role of molten salts, the choice of molten salts, the electrochemical aspects, some advanced modifications of the conventional MSS technique, and their implications. To show the most recent development on MSS synthesized inorganic nanomaterials, this review only encompasses the studies reported over the last six years (2015−2020). We have summarized technologically important and emerging families of inorganic nanomaterials such as metal oxides, fluorides, nitrides, silicides, chalcogenides, oxohalides, borides, and carbides. Finally, a few perspectives for the MSS method are highlighted. It is expected that this review will further attract scientists to explore the MSS method in making size-and shape-tunable nanomaterials.

“…Therefore, there is an urgent need to reduce the grain size of the obtained Ti 3 AlC 2 powder to promote faster conversion of Ti 3 AlC 2 into 2D Ti 3 C 2 . Recently, a researcher has successfully synthesized fine-grained Ti 3 AlC 2 powder with a salt/precursor material (titanium, aluminum, carbon powder) ratio of 10:1 at 950 °C for 5 h [ 46 ]. The nanoscale Ti 3 AlC 2 powder that synthesized by the molten salt method can convert Ti 3 AlC 2 into 2D Ti 3 C 2 faster.…”

Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have attracted increased interest and exhibited extended applications from nanotechnology to materials science, biomedicine, tissue engineering, as well as energy storage and environmental science. With the development of the synthesis and fabrication of 2D materials, a new family of 2D materials, metal carbides (MCs), revealed promising applications in recent years, and have been utilized for the fabrication of various functional 2D and three-dimensional (3D) nanomaterials for energy and environmental applications, ascribing to the unique physical and chemical properties of MCs. In this review, we present recent advance in the synthesis, fabrication, and applications of 2D and 3D MC-based nanomaterials. For this aim, we first summarize typical synthesis methods of MCs, and then demonstrate the progress on the fabrication of 2D and 3D MC-based nanomaterials. To the end, the applications of MC-based 2D and 3D materials for chemical batteries, supercapacitors, water splitting, photodegradation, removal of heavy metals, and electromagnetic shielding are introduced and discussed. This work provides useful information on the preparation, hybridization, structural tailoring, and applications of MC-based materials, and is expected to inspire the design and fabrication of novel and functional MXene materials with improved performance.

“…Thus, a bunch of efforts have been devoted to explore a molten salt method to synthesize nanosized and fine-grained Ti 3 AlC 2 powders. Nanosized Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene is also easier to be prepared by etching the fine-grained Ti 3 AlC 2 precursor in concentrated HF solution [140]. The SEM image of as-prepared nanosized Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene is shown in Fig.…”

MAX phases (Ti3SiC2, Ti3AlC2, V2AlC, Ti4AlN3, etc.) are layered ternary carbides/nitrides, which are generally processed and researched as structure ceramics. Selectively removing A layer from MAX phases, MXenes (Ti3C2, V2C, Mo2C, etc.) with two-dimensional (2D) structure can be prepared. The MXenes are electrically conductive and hydrophilic, which are promising as functional materials in many areas. This article reviews the milestones and the latest progress in the research of MAX phases and MXenes, from the perspective of ceramic science. Especially, this article focuses on the conversion from MAX phases to MXenes. First, we summarize the microstructure, preparation, properties, and applications of MAX phases. Among the various properties, the crack healing properties of MAX phase are highlighted. Thereafter, the critical issues on MXene research, including the preparation process, microstructure, MXene composites, and application of MXenes, are reviewed. Among the various applications, this review focuses on two selected applications: energy storage and electromagnetic interference shielding. Moreover, new research directions and future trends on MAX phases and MXenes are also discussed.
