Synthesis of Carbon/Sulfur Nanolaminates by Electrochemical Extraction of Titanium from Ti2SC and Other 'AX' Structures

摘要

The selective extraction process to produce 2D materials has attracted much attention due to its ability to achieve well-controlled morphologies and structures, and even generate new materials that cannot be produced by other methods. Recently, a family of new 2D materials, so called MXenes, were synthesized by selective extraction of 'A' layers from the MAX phases (a family of 3D layered, ternary carbides and nitrides). Carbide-derived carbons with tunable size were produced by extracting both the 'M' and 'A' elements from the MAX phases.
