Versatile chemical transformations of surface functional groups in two-dimensional transition-
metal carbides (MXenes) open up a previously unexplored design space for this broad class …

BACKGROUND Appreciation of the fact that synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) materials
does not necessarily require van der Waals bonded layered precursors led to discovery of …

Materials with layered crystal structures are an emerging class of compounds with desirable
properties for numerous applications. In particular, the family of two-dimensional (2D) …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes) combine the
electronic and mechanical properties of 2D inorganic crystals with chemically modifiable …

The physical and chemical properties of MXenes are strongly dependent on surface
terminations; thus, the tailoring of surface functional groups in two-dimensional transition …

In this study, a transition from metallic to semiconducting-like behavior has been
demonstrated in two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides by replacing titanium with …

MXenes are a large family of two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal carbides, nitrides, and
carbonitrides. The MXene family has expanded since their original discovery in 2011, and …

Two-dimensional (2D) materials are amongst the most interesting scientific research
materials in the twenty-first century. Recognizing that the synthesis of 2D nanomaterials …

We are entering the era of new materials: materials that can be assembled from nanoscale
building blocks, unlike all previous material generations from the Stone Age to the Silicon …

The family of two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides,
known as MXenes, has grown from a single composition in 2011 to a~ 50-composition …
