First observation on emergence of strong room-temperature ferroelectricity and multiferroicity in 2D-TiCT free-standing MXene film.

Two-dimensional (2D) multiferroics are key candidate materials towards advancement of smart technology. Here, we employed a simple synthesis approach to address the long-awaited dream of developing ferroelectric and multiferroic 2D materials, especially in the new class of materials called MXenes. The etched TiCT MXene was first synthesized after HF-treatment followed by a delamination process for successful synthesis of free-standing TiCT film.

Nickel-adsorbed two-dimensional NbC MXene for enhanced energy storage applications.

Owing to the tremendous energy storage capacity of two-dimensional transition metal carbides (MXenes), they have been efficiently utilized as a promising candidate in the field of super-capacitors. The energy storage capacity of MXenes can be further enhanced using metal dopants. Herein, we have reported the synthesis of pristine and nickel doped niobium-carbide (NbC) MXenes, their computational and electrochemical properties.

MWCNT-modified MXene as cost-effective efficient bifunctional catalyst for overall water splitting.

Utilization of cost-effective, bifunctional, and efficient electrocatalysts for complete water splitting is desirable for sustainable clean hydrogen energy. In last decade, MXenes, a family of emerging two-dimensional (2D) materials with unique physiochemical properties, enticed scientists because of their use in different applications. However, insufficient electron transport, lower intrinsic chemical activity and limited active site densities are the factors inhibiting their use in electrocatalytic cells for hydrogen production.
