KAUST uses laser pulses to boost performance of MXene electrode

Green Car Congress

With the nanodots in place, the material had a four-fold higher electrical storage capacity than the original MXene and almost reached the theoretical maximum capacity of graphite. The laser-induced synthesis approach underlines the potential of MXene-based hybrid materials for high-performance energy storage applications.

Classification of potential electrical storage for stationary applications. To smooth out the intermittency of renewable energy production, low-cost electrical energy storage (EES) will become necessary. The most commonly used systems today work by converting electricity to kinetic (e.g.,
