Ten Years of Progress in the Synthesis and Development of MXenes (Adv. Mater. 39/2021)

Abstract

MXenes In article number 2103393, Michael Naguib, Michel W. Barsoum, and Yury Gogotsi present a brief historical overview of the first 10 years of MXene research and a perspective on their synthesis and future development. The cover shows a colored SEM image of a multilayer Ti3C2 MXene particle with an accordion-like morphology, which is produced by individual MXene layers stacked together. The variety of colors represents the diversity of MXene structures and compositions. Image Credit: The SEM image was taken by Dr. Tyler Mathis and colored by Dr. Armin VahidMohammadi.
