, between which scientists can slip different ions for various purposes. They are particularly adept at enabling new electronics or energy storage methods but they are notoriously hard to produce.
They’re also easily customizable: “You can put ions between the layers to use them to store energy, for example,” said chemistry graduate student Di Wang, co-first author of the paper along with postdoctoral scholar Chenkun Zhou. But up to now, the only way to make MXenes involved several intensive chemical engineering steps, including heating the mixture at 3,000°F followed by a bath in hydrofluoric acid.
