Sigma-Aldrich TITANIUM ALUMINUM CARBIDE MAX PHASE PO&

MAX phases belong to ternary carbides and nitrides with layered hexagonal crystal structure, and are used as precursors for MXenes [1][2]. Two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal carbides, carbonitrides and nitrides, known as MXenes, have attracted significant attention due to their outstanding electronic, ionic, optical, mechanical, and thermal properties, as well as plasmonic behaviour and versatile/tunable surface chemistries [1][2][3][4]. We offer MAX phase Ti₃AlC₂ powder with a high assay purity (99.8%), making it ideal for the fresh synthesis of the popular Ti₃C₂ MXene.

We are committed to bringing you greener alternativeproducts, which adhere to one or more of the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry.This product is synthesized using recycled TiO₂ as a sourcematerial, and its production process involves reduced processing steps withimproved electrical conductivity and enhanced electromagnetic shieldingeffectiveness.

MAX phase Ti₃AlC₂ powder was reported in the synthesis of Ti₃C₂ MXene for various applications, such as (but not limited to):
- Energy conversion (eg: solar cells, photocatalytic fuel production, such as hydrogen evolution from water splitting, and carbon dioxide reduction) and storage (eg: rechargeable Li-ion and beyond batteries, supercapacitors) systems [1][2];
- Photocatalytic applications [1][2];
- Bio-related applications (eg: drug delivery, neuroelectronic devices, photothermal therapy of cancer, biosensors, and tissue engineering) [3][4].
