In the past decade, MXenes, a new class of advanced functional 2D nanomaterials, have emerged among numerous types of electrode materials for electrochemical energy storage devices. MXene and their composites have opened up an interesting new opportunity in the field of functional materials, owing. .
This particular MXene, a combination of niobium, carbon and chlorine, was synthesized using a new "bottom-up" method pioneered by researchers from the University of Chicago, University of Illinois Chicago and Vanderbilt University through the NSF Center for Chemical Innovation on MXenes Synthesis.
