Chemical exfoliation of MAX phases into two-dimensional (2D) MXenes can be considered
as a major breakthrough in the synthesis of novel 2D systems. To gain insight into the …

Most efforts to improve the energy density of supercapacitors are currently dedicated to
optimized porosity or hybrid devices employing pseudocapacitive elements. Little attention …

Swelling of a commercial 5 Ah lithium-ion cell with a nickel/manganese/cobalt-oxide
cathode is investigated as a function of the charge state and the charge/discharge rate. In …

We report here the development of an actuator with an ionic electromechanically active
polymer (IEAP) laminate that is exclusively designed to exhibit a combination of high …

We report the volumetric changes of MXenes in contact with different ionic liquids and the
swelling/contraction during electrochemical voltage cycling by complementing …

We report on an extensive molecular simulations study about the influence of the nature of
