A New Way to Build 2D Materials Without Harsh Chemicals Pays Off Big

MXenes are an emerging class of two-dimensional materials whose properties depend sensitively on the atoms bound to their surfaces. A new synthesis approach now allows researchers to control these surface terminations with unprecedented precision. First identified in 2011, MXenes are a fast-expanding family of ultra-thin inorganic materials only a few atoms thick. Their structure consists [...]
