TL;DR: In this article, a room-temperature etching method that utilizes halogens in anhydrous media to synthesize MXenes from Ti3AlC2 has been presented, which provides opportunities for controlled surface chemistries to modulate MXene properties.

TL;DR: In this article, a facile and efficient nitrogen doping strategy is proposed to improve the nitrogen content, increase surface area, and tune the configuration of nitrogen-related defects in the carbon nanostructures for application as supercapacitors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a fundamental understanding of 2D materials at the scale of individu(e.g., Xenes) is presented. But the authors do not consider the properties of Xenes at the individual level.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of electron irradiation on the breaking of inter-molecular bonds and creation of free radicals in Kapton polyimide was studied using reactive molecular dynamics simulation with the polarizable ReaxFF method and experimentally on pristine and electron irradiated polyimides by vibrational spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance, nuclear magnetic resonance, wide angle xray diffraction, small angle x-ray scattering, and dynamic mechanical analysis.

TL;DR: Continuous wave photoinduced absorption spectroscopy of single-walled carbon nanotubes dispersed in a polymer matrix points to an efficient migration of the photoexcited states, either the singlet excitons or the charges resulting from their dissociation.
