| Abstract Scope |
Two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides known as MXenes. About 50 stoichiometric compositions and dozens of solid solutions and materials with variable terminations are currently available. They exhibit high metallic conductivity (up to 25 000 S/cm), catalytic, plasmonic, reversible redox, and other useful properties. This presentation will provide an overview of MXene synthesis and properties, as well as aqueous and organic MXene ink formulations. Examples of extrusion printing, inkjet printing, and screen printing on various substrates, including paper, textiles and polymers, will be provided. Due to their versatile chemistry and facile processability MXenes are promising candidates for the next generation of printed devices such as implantable and epidermal electronics, interconnects, electrodes for batteries and supercapacitors, antennas, sensors, etc. |
