Applications
Energy storage: Multi-layer Nb2CTx can serve as conductive, high-surface-area additives or precursor material for electrodes in batteries and supercapacitors; useful for improving electronic conductivity, charge storage surface area, and interfacial contact in composite electrodes.
Electrocatalysis and catalytic supports: Plate-like, high-surface-area flakes provide active sites and conductive pathways when used as catalyst supports or combined with catalytic nanoparticles for HER, OER, and CO2 reduction studies.
Conductive inks and printed electronics: Multilayer MXene powders can be formulated into pastes/inks after exfoliation or dispersion to produce conductive tracks, EMI-shielding layers, or flexible/stretchable interconnects for printed electronic applications.
Composites and functional fillers: As a filler in polymers, ceramics, or metals, Nb2CTx improves electrical/thermal conductivity, mechanical reinforcement, and surface functionality for sensors, antistatic coatings, and thermal interface materials.
Sensors and sensing platforms: High surface area and tunable surface chemistry make Nb2CTx suitable for chemiresistive, electrochemical, and biosensing transducers, especially after surface functionalization for target selectivity.
Surface functionalization and hybrid materials: Serves as a starting powder for chemical grafting, heterostructure assembly (with oxides, noble metals, or 2D materials), and layer-by-layer film formation for tailored surface properties.
Shielding and electromagnetic interference (EMI) mitigation: When incorporated into composites or coatings, multilayer Nb2CTx contributes to conductive networks that attenuate EMI across microwave and radio frequencies.
Templates and precursors for advanced architectures: Useful as a sacrificial or structural template for producing porous carbides/oxides or for thermally converting MXene powders into derived ceramics and composite nanostructures.
