Two-dimensional (2D) transitional metal carbides, nitrides and carbonitrides, known as MXenes, have become one of the largest families of materials. MXenes have remarkable physical, chemical, electrochemical, mechanical properties. MXenes have shown great promise in energy storage (batteries and supercapacitors), catalysis, electromagnetic interference shielding, wireless communications, flexible and transparent electronics, sensors, structural composites, environmental and biomedical applications.

This symposium aims at being an international forum for the discussion of synthesis, properties, and applications of MXenes. It will cover all aspects of fundamental, experimental and theoretical research related to MXenes, including materials discovery and synthesis, characterization of their electrical, electrochemical, optical, thermal, mechanical properties, and their assembly and integration into functional devices.
