1. What Are MXenes and Where Does Nb₂CTx Fit In? MXenes are a large and growing family of 2D materials made from transition metal carbides, nitrides, or carbonitrides. Their general formula is: Mₙ₊₁XₙTₓ M =…
(read more)1. Why this study matters: MXenes move into “real” catalysis In heterogeneous catalysis, researchers are always hunting for new solid materials that can: drive reactions faster give better selectivity (fewer side products) work under milder…
(read more)A New Chapter in Light-Assisted Energy Storage In today’s world, many remote areas, small devices, and portable systems depend heavily on efficient methods to harvest and store energy without relying on electrical grids. Because of…
(read more)1. Why Are People So Excited About MXenes? In the world of nanomaterials, we are constantly trying to make things smaller, lighter, and smarter. One of the big steps in this direction was the discovery…
(read more)Over the past decade, two-dimensional (2D) materials have reshaped the landscape of modern materials science. Their unique structures, exceptional properties, and broad application possibilities have made them one of the most dynamic research areas in…
(read more)Two-dimensional (2D) materials have become a huge topic in materials science over the last 15–20 years. It started with graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms, and quickly expanded to many other 2D families like…
(read more)Understanding MXenes and Why They Matter In the past decade, a new group of nanomaterials called MXenes has captured the attention of researchers around the world. MXenes are extremely thin materials—sometimes only a single layer…
(read more)In this blog, we’ll walk through a study that looks at a very specific but exciting question: What happens to the gas-sensing performance of Ti₂CTₓ MXene when it is partially oxidized into TiO₂? If that…
(read more)What are MXenes and why Ti₂Cₜₓ? After graphene was isolated, scientists became very interested in two-dimensional (2D) materials – extremely thin layers of atoms that can conduct electricity, interact with light, and be stacked or…
