Oxygen and chlorine generation without precious metals: Electrode potential changes the MXene surface
Credit: Journal of the American Chemical Society (2024). DOI: 10.1021/jacs.4c08518 MXene is a type of two-dimensional material discovered in 2011. Previous theoretical studies predicted that MXene has no catalytic activity in anodic processes. Researchers led by Professor Kai S. Exner, head of the Department of Theoretical Catalysis and Electrochemistry at the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE), used multiscale modeling to disprove…

Outside the clothesline, on the grid: MXene nanomaterials enable wireless charging of textiles
Researchers at Drexel University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Accenture Research Institute have developed a process to print wirelessly rechargeable textile energy grids using MXene ink. Credit: Today’s Materials (2024). DOI: 10.1016/j.mattod.2024.10.008 The next step for fully integrated textile-based electronics to get from the lab to the wardrobe is finding a way to power clothing gizmos without having to lug…
