We are proud to congratulate our collaborators at TU Wien and CEST on their outstanding work, now published!
The team reports a breakthrough electrochemical method for MXene synthesis that is scalable, HF-free, and sustainable.
Impressively, the process delivers up to 60% yield of EC-MXene in just one exfoliation cycle, with no unwanted byproducts.
The method relies on a NaBF₄/HCl electrolyte and uses pulse voltammetry to improve etching efficiency.
Hydrogen bubbles generated during the process reactivate the surface, ensuring high exfoliation quality and continuous production.
The resulting MXenes were thoroughly characterized, confirming high purity and excellent structural propertiesthrough advanced techniques including SEM/EDX, XPS, LEIS, AFM, XRD, Raman, and TEM.
This work sets a new benchmark for sustainable MXene production and opens the door for industrial upscaling.
