This book describes the rapidly expanding field of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes). It covers fundamental knowledge on synthesis, structure, and properties of these new materials, and a description of their processing, scale-up and emerging applications. The ways in which the quickly expanding family of MXenes can outperform other novel nanomaterials in a variety of applications, spanning from energy storage and conversion to electronics; from water science to transportation; and in defense and medical applications, are discussed in detail.
Covers all the available known aspects and applications of MXenes in a single source
Describes the outstanding performance of 2D materials in many applications in addition to their scalability
Edited by pioneers in the field, with chapters written by leading researchers throughout the world
