Applications
Energy storage: Nb2CTx provides high electronic conductivity, accessible surface area, and favorable ion intercalation pathways when used as an electrode additive or coating, improving capacity, rate capability, and cycling stability.
Electrocatalysis and catalytic supports: Few-layer Nb2CTx offers abundant active sites and conductive pathways for HER/OER and CO2 reduction when used alone or with catalytic nanoparticles.
Conductive inks and printed electronics: Stable dispersions of few-layer Nb2CTx can be formulated into inks or pastes for printed conductive traces, flexible electrodes, and EMI-shielding layers due to strong sheet conductivity after deposition.
Sensors (chemiresistive and electrochemical): High surface area, tunable surface chemistry (Tx terminations), and rapid electron transport make Nb2CTx suspensions suitable for gas, electrochemical, and biosensor transducers after functionalization.
Composite fillers and coatings: As a nanoscale conductive filler, few-layer Nb2CTx enhances electrical and thermal conductivity and interfacial properties in polymer, ceramic, or metal matrices for antistatic, thermally conductive, and functional coating applications.
Templates and derived materials: Few-layer suspensions are effective precursors for assembling films, heterostructures, or sacrificial templates that can be thermally or chemically converted into derived carbides or oxides with controlled porosity and conductivity.
