Video interview with Professor Yury Gogotsi, Drexel University, USA, on energy efficiency of advanced materials and their application in new power industry. Study of MXene, new two-dimensional nanomaterial, by prof. Gogotsi's group that can lead energy storage technology to new heights. This solid layered material, resembling graphene, is a new family of two-dimensional material called MXene.
Discovering of any new material is interesting, and the potential of material must be necessarily implemented.
MXene is a nanostructured material made of ultrathin layers of titanium-based compounds, as seen under the electron microscope. These exfoliated layers, which were dubbed MXenes, are very thin and they are two-dimensional. In other words, each strip is only five atomic layers thick. The team is the first to render such materials in 2-D.

TThe MXenes could be used in energy storage devices, sensors, solar cells and other applications, Gogotsi says.Discovering a whole family of materials (known more than a MAX phase carbides and nitrides (60 of which have been already synthesized and 5 have been exfoliated into the two-dimensional structures) is undoubtedly interesting and opens a large scope for researchers.

Here we demonstrate a new developed method for depositing Ti3C2Tx MXenes onto hydrophobic electrospun PCL membranes using oxygen plasma treatment. These novel patches hold tremendous potential for providing mechanical support to damaged heart tissue and enabling electrical signal transmission,thereby mimicking the crucial electroconductivity required for normal cardiac function. After a detailed investigation of scaffold-to-cell interplay, including electrical stimulation, novel technology has the potential for clinical application not only for cardiac regeneration, but also as neural and muscular tissue substitutes.
