MXenes Advance Energy Conversion and Storage

Natalie Arnett of FAMU works to develop novel MXene materials for batteries, supercapacitors, and radiation shielding. MXenes were first discovered in 2011 and are created from 3-D crystals, often consisting of titanium or chromium, aluminum, and carbon or nitrogen.

“We want to develop MXenes by characterizing their electronic and magnetic properties,” Arnett said. “These materials hold great promise for several applications.” MXenes are used in medicine and optoelectronics but could also lead to advances in energy conversion and storage.
