Description

• General description: Mxenes find extensive use in LiBs and rechargeable non-lithium-ion (Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and Al3+) batteries [1]. This MXene precursor enables the potential of Ti3C2Tx Mxenes as anode [1][2], cathode [2] or separator [3] to boost battery life-cycle and efficiency.
• Application: MAX phases are a family of ternary carbides and nitrides that share a similar layered hexagonal crystal structure. Ti2AlC MAX phase exhibits high-temperature stability, thermal shock resistance, damage tolerance, crack-healing capability, good machinability, and exceptional oxidation resistance (immune to thermal cycling), and was widely used for high-temperature applications such as high-temperature heating elements, gas burner nozzles and industrial die inserts.[4]MAX phases are important precursors for synthesizing MXene, a highly conductive 2-dimentional nanomaterial. MXenes are produced by selective etching of the A element from the MAX phases. It combine the metallic conductivity of transition metal carbides with the hydrophilic nature of their hydroxyl or oxygen terminated surfaces.[5][6] Ti2AlC MAX phase is one of the most used MAX phase for MXene (Ti2CTx).
