Abstract Scope |
Two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides known as MXenes (more than 50 compositions are currently available) exhibit high metallic conductivity (over 20 000 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 interconnects, electrodes for batteries and supercapacitors, antennas, sensors, etc. |
