Functionalization of MXene and graphene materials

We are proud to announce that our GREENCAP partner UNISTRA, in collaboration with TUD, TCD, and BED, have completed a significant piece of work focused on functionalization of MXene and graphene materials, and demonstrating improved electrochemical properties.

Key findings from this work include:

  • Functionalization of Ti3C2Tx MXene with small organic molecules.
  • Functionalization of V2C MXene using diazonium salts to enhance K+ storage performance.
  • In-situ functionalization of MXene surfaces with borate polyanion groups through a flux-assisted eutectic molten etching approach.
  • Improvement of electrochemical performance of graphene-based supercapacitors via high-pressure homogenization and wet-jet milling.

These advancements contribute significantly to the project’s overall goal of developing high-performance SC electrodes, providing a solid foundation for future work in electrode material optimization and hybridization. The collaboration between different teams and methodologies highlights the project’s comprehensive approach to material innovation and electrochemical performance enhancement.
