Nano Exploration of MXenes 2025 - #NEMX25 is one of the multisymposium MATSUS Spring 2025 - Materials for Sustainable Development Conference, taking place from the 3rd to the 7th of March 2025, in Sevilla, Spain.
Discover the forefront of material science and nanotechnology at our NanoGe inaugural symposium, dedicated exclusively to MXenes— groundbreaking two-dimensional (2D) materials that have been at the center of scientific exploration since their discovery in 2011. MXenes, composed of carbides and nitrides with the general formula Mn+1XnTx, where M stands for an early transition metal, X is carbon or nitrogen, n ranges from 1 to 4, and Tx denotes surface-terminating groups, offer an unparalleled array of structural possibilities. With over 100 different configurations determined by the arrangement of metal atoms and further expanded by surface terminations and the potential for solid solutions and mixed terminations, MXenes invite a realm of endless material innovation.
This symposium aims to spotlight the synthesis, characterization, and application of MXenes, highlighting their exceptional adaptability and superior properties that make them indispensable across a broad spectrum of fields including energy storage, environmental tech, electronics, and more. We will delve into the latest research, exploring MXenes' growing impact on domains such as electromagnetic interference shielding, nanocomposites, and beyond. This gathering of world-renowned experts is not merely a discussion on a material class but a deep dive into the materials that are sculpting the future of technology and innovation.
