Strategic Objectives
• Master the precise selective etching techniques for MAX phase precursors.
• Understand the unique surface chemistry that enables aqueous processing.
• Explore the diverse family of transition metal carbides and nitrides.
• Identify high-performance applications from energy storage to electromagnetic shielding.
The Core Challenge
Traditional nanomaterials often struggle to balance high metallic conductivity with true hydrophilic processability, limiting their real-world application.
