Ultralow and Selective Infrared Emission from MXenes [PDF]
Low and selective infrared emission materials are necessary for next generation thermal technologies, including passive heating, infrared identification, and photothermal conversion. Here, we report on the intrinsic infrared radiation properties of three MXenes: Ti3C2Tx, Ti3CNTx, and V4C3Tx.

Understanding the effect of MXene in a TMO/MXene hybrid catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction
AbstractVery recently, it has been reported that mixed transition metal oxide (TMO)/MXene catalysts show improved performance over TMO only catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, the reasoning behind this observation is unknown. In this work mixed Co(OH)2/Ti3C2Txwere prepared and characterized for the OER using ex situ and operando

Recent progress in thermoelectric MXene-based structures versus other 2D materials [PDF]
Thermoelectricity is a next-generation solution for efficient waste heat management. Although various thermoelectric materials exist, there is still a lot of scope for advancement, especially in room temperature applications. Recently, two-dimensional (2D) materials, including MXenes, showed promise as thermoelectric materials.

Control of spintronic and electronic properties of bimetallic and vacancy-ordered vanadium carbide MXenes via surface functionalization [PDF]
MXenes are 2D transition metal carbides with high potential for overcoming limitations of conventional two-dimensional electronics. In this context, various MXenes have shown magnetic properties suitable for applications in spintronics, yet the number of MXenes reported so far is far smaller than their parental MAX phases.

Modifications of MXene layers for supercapacitors [PDF]
Abstract The re-stacking of Ti3C2Tx-MXene layers has been prevented by using two different approaches: a facile hard templating method and a pore-forming approach. The expanded MXene obtained by using MgO nanoparticles as hard templates displayed an open morphology based on crumpled layers.

Enhancing superconductivity in MXenes through hydrogenation [PDF]
Two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes) are an emerging class of atomically-thin superconductors, whose characteristics are highly prone to tailoring by surface functionalization. Here we explore the use of hydrogen adatoms to enhance phonon-mediated superconductivity in MXenes, based on first-principles calculations combined ...

MXenes are two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides typically synthesized from layered MAX-phase precursors. With over 50 experimentally reported MXenes and a near-infinite number of possible chemistries, MXenes are the fastest-growing family of 2D materials. They offer a wide range of properties, which can be altered

Recent advances of MXene saturable absorber for near-infrared mode-locked fiber laser [PDF]
To date, MXene has been discovered for its viability as alternatives to conventional saturable absorber such as carbon nanotube and graphene. The characteristics of high nonlinear saturable absorption, astounding modulation depth, flexible bandgap tunability, and high electron density near Fermi level are the fundamentals of the MXene as an excellent ...
