Summary
NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY This CAREER project, with support from the Solid State and Materials Chemistry Program and the Ceramics Program, both in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate, aims to create a new class of two-dimensional (2D) materials derived from earth-abundant transition metals such as titanium, vanadium, chromium, and molybdenum. These materials, known as carbide and nitride MXenes, possess chemical and electronic characteristics similar to noble metals but are much less expensive. The building blocks of these layered materials are hundreds of times thinner than a huma
