TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of niobium pentoxide on carbide-derived carbon (Nb2O5/CDC) with a layered structure is described, where the presence of phenylphosphonic acid guides the deposition during preparation.

TL;DR: In this article, a group of researchers met to discuss emerging topics in ceramic science and to identify grand challenges in the field, and reached a consensus on eight challenges for the future: understanding rare events in ceramic microstructures, understanding the phase-like behavior of interfaces, predicting and controlling heterogeneous micro-structures with unprecedented functionalities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate a simple method for increasing the crystal size of nanodiamond powder by selective oxidation in air, and analyze the oxidized powders by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of MXene electrodes (Mn+1XnTx: M = Sc, Ti, V, Zr, Nb, Mo; X = C, N; T = O, OH; n = 1-3) were computationally screened to simulate their pseudocapacitive performance in the aqueous H2SO4 electrolyte.

TL;DR: LbL assembly is used to demonstrate nanocomposites of 2D titanium carbide nanosheets and clay nanoplatelets to fabricate freestanding thin films with unique multifunctional properties, which is the strongest MXene-based LbL film prepared to date.
