Alkali cation stabilization of defects in 2D MXenes at ambient and elevated temperatures

Transition metal carbides have been adopted in energy storage, conversion, and extreme environment applications. Advancement in their 2D counterparts, known as MXenes, enables the design of unique structures at the ~1 nm thickness scale. Alkali cations have been essential in MXenes manufacturing processing, storage, and applications, however, exact interactions of... Show more
