About this collection
Materials play a pivotal role in driving the progress of humanity. From the silicon age, when electronic and computer technologies revolutionized our lives, to the present, where we stand on the cusp of the age of nanomaterials, such as MXenes. MXenes represent a very large class of inorganic materials with an unparalleled diversity of structures and compositions. This sets them apart as one of the most significant recent discoveries in materials science.
These two-dimensional inorganic compounds consist of atomically thin layers of transition metal carbides, nitrides, or carbonitrides. Their versatile chemistry and unique and highly tuneable physicochemical properties have propelled them into myriad applications across various fields, ranging from energy storage to electronics and medicine.
We are delighted to invite you to contribute an article to our new special themed collection in Nanoscale on MXene chemistries in biology, medicine and sensing, which is being guest edited by Yury Gogotsi (Drexel University, USA), Lucia Gemma Delogu (University of Padua, Italy and Khalifa University, United Arab Emirates), Acelya Yilmazer (Ankara University, Turkey) and Maksym Pogorielov (Sumy State University, Ukraine and University of Latvia, Latvia).
