MXenes

Researchers have developed MXene-wrapped phase change materials using Ti3C2Tx MXene and gelatin aerogels to enhance thermal energy storage capabilities.

Researchers developed a hair-thin film using carbon nanotubes and MXene that blocks over 99.9999999% of radar-band electromagnetic waves.

The Advanced Carbons Council calls for a U.S. carbon materials innovation platform focused on standards, testing and buyer qualification. The paper links engineered-carbon supply chains to manufacturing, energy, defense and AI infrastructure. Serves as a model for governments world-wide.

Researchers have optimized reduced Ti3C2 MXene to achieve a photothermal conversion efficiency of 91.66% under an 808-nanometer laser. This enhancement in free electron concentration can significantly improve MXene's performance in photothermal applications, potentially impacting fields like energy conversion and thermal management.
