Research reinvents MXene synthesis

Caption

A colorized SEM image of a MXene the team synthesized from a combination of zirconium, carbon and bromine. Because MXenes can store ions between their atomically thin layers and control the flow of those ions through the layers, MXenes are being studied for energy storage, industrial catalysts, electromagnetic interference shielding and numerous other cutting-edge technologies.
