Please find the abstract below. We look forward to your participation in what promises to be an enlightening and engaging session. Please share them among your students and encourage them to participate.

Title: Design strategies and engineering of two-dimensional MXenes
Abstract: MXenes, with their M n+1 X n T x chemical formula, have one of the most diverse chemical compositions and structures among two-dimensional (2D) materials. This notable compositional diversity, spanning transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides, positions MXenes as potential material candidates for applications ranging from energy conversion and storage to biomedicine. The rapid growth of the 2D MXenes family is driven by their tailorable chemistry, control of their composition, structures, and architectures, including the transition metal and surface functional groups, non-metal X sublattice, and atomic-layer configurations. This compositional diversity controls MXenes’ structure-property relationships, which tailor their functional performance in various application domains. In this talk, we will explore how variations in compositional diversity, atomic arrangement, atomistic design, and material engineering strategies allow for systematic fine-tuning of MXene properties. The discussion will highlight recent advances in the growing MXenes’ research and will offer perspectives on leveraging MXene chemistry to develop high-performance 2D catalysts critical for achieving a carbon-neutral economy.
