Recent advances in MXenes: a future of nanotechnologies

Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) materials are amongst the most interesting scientific research on materials in the twenty-first century. Recognizing that synthesis of 2D nanomaterials (NMs) does not for all time required van...

Integration of MXene and Microfluidics: A Perspective

“…Additionally, there has been success in growing nanometer-thin Mo 2 C through chemical vapor deposition (CVD). 58 Several solid solution MXenes have also been synthesized, and carbide MXenes have been transformed into nitrides through treatment in ammonia at elevated temperatures. Furthermore, the conversion of TMDs to 2D nitrides like Mo 5 N 6 and W 5 N 6 has been performed topochemically which indicates the potential for synthesizing many other 2D carbides and nitrides, and such explorations can be beneficiaries of high-throughput simulations and machine learning to expedite materials discovery.…”

“…The production of i-MXenes, which include structures featuring organized vacancies, such as Ti 4 C 3 , Ti 5 C 4 , and Mo 4 VC 4 T x MXenes, has been demonstrated. Additionally, there has been success in growing nanometer-thin Mo 2 C through chemical vapor deposition (CVD) . Several solid solution MXenes have also been synthesized, and carbide MXenes have been transformed into nitrides through treatment in ammonia at elevated temperatures.…”

Natural Nano-Minerals (NNMs): Conception, Classification and Their Biomedical Composites

“…Bone defect repair has also received much attention in recent years. Especially in organoid research and sensing analysis, biomedical materials have become an important branch of modern materials science. , With the booming development of biotechnology and the increasing improvement of health requirements, more and more biomedical materials such as graphene, , metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), maximally exfoliated two-dimensional carbides and nitrides (MXenes) and layered double hydroxide (LDH) have been discovered and are receiving extensive attention from scientists. − Although, considerable progress has been made over the decades, some biomaterials present problems such as difficult preparation, high cost, poor biocompatibility and tolerability, − which limit further applications in the treatment of diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, − obesity, chronic diseases and, etc . The environmental impact of medical waste is also a major concern.…”

Enhancing ion storage and transport in Ti3C2Tz MXene via a “sacrificial cations” strategy

“…Such solutions can effectively break the weaker M-A bonds in the MAX phase, selectively etching away the A-layer atoms, while leaving the stronger M-X bonds unaffected. 8,9 However, during etching preparation, interlayer restacking caused by van der Waals forces 10,11 and the attachment of inactive -F terminations limit their potential applications. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] To resolve the above issues, various strategies including compositing, atomic doping, and intercalation have been proposed.…”
