MAX phases belong to ternary carbides and nitrides with layered hexagonal crystal structure, and are used as precursors for MXenes . 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 . 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.
