Ambient-stable MXene with superior performance suitable for widespread applications

In Situ Atomic Reconstruction Engineering Modulating Graphene-Like MXene-Based Multifunctional Electromagnetic Devices Covering Multi-Spectrum

“…1 a. Ti 3 AlC 2 MAX undergoes etching with lithium fluoride and dilute hydrochloric acid, transforming into monolayer Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene and forming a large number of oxygen-containing functional groups on their surface. During the calcination process, these functional groups act as confine sites, promoting the transformation of Ti atoms into TiO 2 nanoclusters [ 22 ]. The limited oxygen atoms in MXenes cause TiO 2 nanoclusters to stop growing after reaching a certain scale, thus avoiding excessive aggregation of TiO 2 .…”

MXene-antenna electrode with collective multipole resonances

“…In ref. 78, the environmental instability of MXene-Ti 3 C 2 T x has been successfully overcome through an optimized synthetic route, which has included the synthesis of high-quality MAX phase (Ti 3 AlC 2 ) and post-treatment of Ti 3 C 2 T x . This optimization has yielded highly stable O-Ti 3 C 2 T x .…”

A novel 2D VC4 as a promising Na-host material for Na-ion batteries: computational insights

“…[34][35][36] However, the direct exposure of transition metal atoms on the surface leads to chemical instability. 37,38 Therefore, traditional MXenes are typically functionalized with T groups (T = OH, O, and F) in practical applications, resulting in reduced capacity and increased diffusion barriers. 39,40 We have proposed that increasing the carbon content in MXenes is an effective approach to enhance their metal-ion storage ability, which has been computationally validated in Ta-C 41 and Ti-C systems.…”
