Symposium NM02-2D MXenes—Advances and Outlook

Transition metal carbides, nitrides and carbonitrides (also known as MXenes) represent a large family of two-dimensional (2D) materials, with more than 50 members and multiple new structures and compositions added every year. There is an ever-growing interest within the scientific community, due to their unique, versatile and wide-ranging portfolio of physical and chemical properties, which render MXene a great promise in energy storage and generation, catalysis, electromagnetic interference shielding, wireless communications, flexible and transparent electronics, sensors, structural composites, environmental and biomedical applications.
This Symposium, as an international forum, will represent an opportunity to discuss advances in the synthesis, chemistry, and physics of MXenes, their hybridization with other materials, along with industrial developments. The Symposium aims to bring together chemists, physicists, material scientists and engineers to cover all aspects of the fundamental, experimental and theoretical research on MXenes, including state-of-the-art findings from MXene synthesis and scaling to characterization of electrical, electrochemical, optical, thermal, mechanical, triboelectric and biomedical properties and applications as well as integration into functional devices.
