KAUST uses laser pulses to boost performance of MXene electrode

Green Car Congress

The researchers hope that this strategy could help to engineer an improved anode material in next-generation batteries. 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.
