Multi Layer Niobium Carbide (Nb2CTx) MXene Phase Powder

Multi-layer Niobium Carbide is a high-performance two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbide characterized by its stacked, micron-scale plate-like morphology. Produced through the selective removal of the "A" layer from its parent MAX phase, this MXene features a structural backbone of niobium and carbon decorated with hydrophilic surface functional groups. Unlike titanium-based variants,Nb2CTx is particularly noted for its distinct electronic band structure and high metallic conductivity, which remain stable across a wide range of chemical environments. Its accordion-like multilayer architecture provides an expansive surface area and tunable interlayer spacing, making it a versatile platform for ion intercalation, molecular adsorption, and the creation of sophisticated hybrid nanostructures.

Applications

• Energy Storage: Multi‑layer Nb2CTx can serve as conductive, high‑surface‑area additives or precursor material for electrodes in batteries and supercapacitors; useful for improving electronic conductivity, charge storage surface area, and interfacial contact in composite electrodes.
• Electrocatalysis and Catalytic Supports:Plate‑like, high‑surface‑area flakes provide active sites and conductive pathways when used as catalyst supports or combined with catalytic nanoparticles for HER, OER, and CO2 reduction studies.
• Conductive Inks and Printed Electronics: Multilayer MXene powders can be formulated into pastes/inks after exfoliation or dispersion to produce conductive tracks, EMI‑shielding layers, or flexible/stretchable interconnects for printed electronic applications.
• Composites and Functional Fillers: As a filler in polymers, ceramics, or metals, Nb2CTx improves electrical/thermal conductivity, mechanical reinforcement, and surface functionality for sensors, antistatic coatings, and thermal interface materials.
• Sensors and Sensing Platforms: High surface area and tunable surface chemistry make Nb2CTx suitable for chemiresistive, electrochemical, and biosensing transducers, especially after surface functionalization for target selectivity.
• Surface Functionalization and Hybrid Materials: Serves as a starting powder for chemical grafting, heterostructure assembly (with oxides, noble metals, or 2D materials), and layer‑by‑layer film formation for tailored surface properties.
• Shielding and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Mitigation: When incorporated into composites or coatings, multilayer Nb2CTx contributes to conductive networks that attenuate EMI across microwave and radio frequencies.
• Templates and Precursors for Advanced Architectures: Useful as a sacrificial or structural template for producing porous carbides/oxides or for thermally converting MXene powders into derived ceramics and composite nanostructures.
