One of the biggest challenges for a climate-neutral energy supply is the storage of electrical energy. Conventional batteries can hold large amounts of energy, but the charging and discharging ...
A bamboo-inspired design helps ions move faster through thick energy storage materials, improving performance and enabling more efficient, scalable batteries and supercapacitors. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...
Cooling down the MXene with enclosed water (left) leads to the formation of amorphous ice clusters (right), significantly increasing the distance between the MXene layers and the formerly metallic ...
(Nanowerk News) A team of researchers, led by Professor Soo-Hyun Kim in the Graduate School of Semiconductors Materials and Devices Engineering and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering ...
A new process that lets scientists chemically cut apart and stitch together nanoscopic layers of two-dimensional materials — like a tailor altering a suit — could be just the tool for designing the ...
The membranes are made of stacks of MXenes—2D sheets that are only a few atoms thick. Ions squeeze through nanoscale channels formed in the gaps between the stacked MXene layers. Until now, scientists ...
A team of researchers, led by Professor Soo-Hyun Kim in the Graduate School of Semiconductors Materials and Devices Engineering and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at UNIST has ...
In everyday life, materials that conduct electricity well, like metals, also tend to conduct heat. For instance, a metal spoon left in a hot cup of tea will get hot, while the ceramic mug remains cool ...
A recent study published in the journal Nature Communications focuses on how protons move in the confined water films between MXene layers, which enables charge transportation. The findings from this ...
