Synthesis, Properties and Applications of 2D MXenes

MRS Advances is accepting full-paper submissions on Electronic Devices and Materials topics related to the symposium topic Synthesis, Properties and Applications of 2D MXenes from the 2020 MRS Spring Meeting. Submissions, the review process, and the final decision are not contingent on presentation at the meeting itself. MRS Advances publishes short papers that provide a “snapshot” of an advance within the field of materials research. Such work may include important early indications from a research project that has not yet reached a conclusion, or related results that are significant but not central to the goal of the project. The scientific methods and logic should be rigorous, technically sound, and of interest to other specialists in the area of research. Of particular interest are topics in Synthesis, Properties and Applications of 2D MXenes: • Experimental and theoretical advances in the discovery and synthesis of MXenes • Understanding the atomic structure and surface chemistry of MXenes • Electrochemical properties of MXenes and their applications in energy storage devices • Optical and electronic properties of MXenes • Mechanical properties of MXenes • Applications of MXenes in sensors • Thermal and thermoelectric properties of MXenes • Biomedical applications of MXenes • Methods for assembly of MXenes into thin films, 3D structures, and heterostructures • MXene composites and their applications
