Technical Properties

Applications 

• MXene Synthesis for Energy Storage: Ti2SnC serves as an advanced precursor for the production of titanium carbide MXenes. The presence of the tin layer allows for specific chemical etching pathways, resulting in 2D nanosheets that are highly effective as active materials in lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors due to their high volumetric energy density.
• Aerospace Propulsion and Structural Components: Its high-temperature resistance and ability to withstand sudden thermal gradients make Ti2SnC suitable for use in aircraft and spacecraft components. It provides a lightweight alternative to traditional superalloys while maintaining the rigidity and oxidation resistance required for high-velocity environments.
• Nuclear Technology Cladding: Ti2SnC is being researched for structural applications in nuclear reactors. Its layered structure acts as a sink for radiation-induced defects, and its high chemical stability ensures performance in the presence of corrosive coolants and intense neutron flux.
• Electronic Information and Signal Processing: The material’s metallic-like electrical conductivity makes it ideal for specialized electronic substrates and information-bearing components. It is used in systems where electromagnetic shielding and heat dissipation must be managed simultaneously within a durable ceramic matrix.
• Machinable Conductive Ceramics for Weaponry: Due to its unique combination of hardness and machinability, Ti2SnC is utilized in the defense industry for high-precision components that require complex geometries. It maintains its structural integrity under the mechanical stress and high-heat conditions typical of advanced equipment.
• Chemical Processing and Anti-corrosive Systems: The inherent corrosion resistance of the titanium-carbon framework makes Ti2SnC a candidate for liners and components in chemical reactors that deal with aggressive acids or high-temperature melts, where traditional metals would fail.
