Engineering MXene surfaces and heterostructure interfaces for efficient heterogeneous catalysis
Instituto de Tecnología Química · China University of Geosciences
Abstract
The surfaces and interfaces of catalysts dictate activity, selectivity, and stability in heterogeneous catalysis, yet achieving atomic-level control over charge density flow and reaction energetics across these regions remains challenging. MXenes, a rapidly expanding family of two-dimensional transition-metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides, offer an exceptional platform to address these challenges owing to their compositional tunability, rich surface terminations, and the strong influence of these groups on their physicochemical properties. Surface engineering provides the foundation for tailoring MXene reactivity, where controlled regulation of terminations, heteroatom doping, defect generation, and…
