A multi-university team has uncovered how atomic order and disorder in 2D MXene nanomaterials can be predicted and tailored using AI, enabled by advanced imaging analysis.
Key Details
- 1Research led by Drexel and Purdue Universities used imaging analysis to study 40 MXene materials, 30 of which are newly synthesized.
- 2Atomic order versus disorder in layered carbides depends on the number and composition of metal elements present.
- 3Dynamic secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) was used to examine atomic arrangements layer by layer.
- 4The study establishes principles for predicting and synthesizing both ordered and high-entropy (random) atomic structures in these 2D materials.
- 5AI and computational modeling can now be better trained to design bespoke materials for technological applications.
