2D carbides and nitrides of transition metals, also known as MXenes, are an emerging class
of 2D nanomaterials that have shown excellent performances and broad application …

MXenes, a family of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides, nitrides, and
carbonitrides, have garnered a global attention for their diverse applications in energy …

The MAX phases are a class of nanolaminated materials composed of an early transition-
metal (M), an A-group element (A) and C, N, B and/or P (X). Progress in MAX phase …

Intercalated layered materials offer distinctive properties and serve as precursors for
important two-dimensional (2D) materials. However, intercalation of non–van der Waals …

The synthesis of monolayer gold has so far been limited to free-standing several-atoms-thick
layers, or monolayers confined on or inside templates. Here we report the exfoliation of …

Abstract MAX phases (Ti 3 SiC 2, Ti 3 AlC 2, V 2 AlC, Ti 4 AlN 3, etc.) are layered ternary
carbides/nitrides, which are generally processed and researched as structure ceramics …

Nanolaminated materials are important because of their exceptional properties and wide
range of applications. Here, we demonstrate a general approach to synthesizing a series of …

The M n+ 1 AX n, or MAX, phases are nanolayered, hexagonal, machinable, early transition-
metal carbides and nitrides, where n= 1, 2, or 3, M is an early transition metal, A is an A …

Transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes), a family of two-dimensional (2D) inorganic
compounds, are materials composed of a few atomic layers of transition metal carbides …

Understanding the etching mechanisms of MXene and obtaining direct insights into the
influence of etchants on structural features and defects are of critical importance for …
