• Water-Free Way to Make MXenes Could Mean New Uses for the Promising Nanomaterials

    March 13, 2020

    <span>Drexel University researchers have discovered a different way to make the atom-thin material that presents a number of new opportunities for using it. The new discovery removes water from the MXene-making process, which means the materials can be used in applications in which water is a contaminant or hampers performance, such as battery electrodes and next-generation solar cells.</span>

  • Making More MXene — Researchers Unveil a Scalable Production System for the Promising, 2D Nanomaterials

    March 10, 2020

    <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">For more than a decade, two-dimensional nanomaterials, such as graphene, have been touted as the key to making better microchips, batteries, antennas and many other devices. But a significant challenge of using these atom-thin building materials for the technology of the future is ensuring that they can be produced in bulk quantities without losing their quality. For one of the most promising new types of 2D nanomaterials, MXenes, that&rsquo;s no longer a problem. Researchers at Drexel University and the Materials Research Center in Ukraine have designed a system that can be used to make large quantities of the material while preserving its unique properties.</p>
