Beyond a historical retrospective, this webinar will explore the practical evolution of the materials and provide a clear definition of what fundamentally defines a MXene. The speakers will discuss critical milestones in synthesis optimization and address persistent benchtop challenges and confusions in the field, such as flake degradation, structural stability, and scalability. Attendees will gain unique insights into how MXenes are transitioning from fundamental lab curiosities to high-performance commercial applications, including next-generation energy storage and printable electronics.
