Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
MXenes, a new and exciting class of two-dimensional materials, became one of the hot topics in scientist community. MXenes has attracted a great deal of attention due to its unique structure and morphology, mechanical property, carrier mobility, a wide range of compositions and excellent properties including ease of dispersibility and metallic conductivity. These properties render them promising candidates for use as composites or hybrid formations. Initially graphene was the most widely practiced anisotropic filler used in polymer nanocomposites. After a long period of time, MXenes came to the front because of their single step processing, excellent electrical conductivity, easy heat dissipation behavior, and capacitor like properties. MXenes hold its outstanding versatility in nanocomposites formations, resulting in new material types with outstanding functional and mechanical properties and extensively studied regarding optoelectronics, energy storage, adsorption, wastewater treatment, catalysis, sensors, health, and biological and environmental protection. In this Special Issue, original peer-reviewed papers covering all aspects of MXenes and their composites will be published. Original experimental papers as well as review papers will be considered.
Subjects include but are not limited to preparation method and technical route of MXenes and their various nanocomposites, their performance and applications in biomedical, sensing, energy, electromagnetic absorption and shielding, catalysis, chemisorption, sewage purification, flame retardance, separation membranes, and antibacterial property etc. In general, this section provides a platform for MXenes for the publication of original and scientific research that is likely to have a large general impact, also with the aim of initiating other special issues.
The aim of this Special Issue is to gather new developments and future trends on MXenes for environmental, energy, and health and biological utility. We welcome both original research and review articles.
