Description

Application

Nb₄AlC₃ is the MAX phase precursor used for synthesis of Nb₄C₃T_x MXene, which have the below properties:

• Electrical Conductivity: Single-layer Nb₄C₃Tx flakes boast an electrical conductivity of 1,024 ± 165 S cm−1.
• Breakdown Current Density: ∼1.1 × 108 A.cm−2, comparable to Ti₃C₂T_x and graphene.
• Electrochemical Performance: Specific capacity increases from 116 to 320 mAh.g−1 after 1,000 cycles at 1 A current density.
• Interlayer Spacing: Accommodates ion intercalation/deintercalation without structural damage.

Unlock the potential of Nb₄C₃Tx MXene, using our Nb₄AlC₃ MAX precursor:

• Electrochemical sensing: Nb₄C₃Tx excels in electrochemical sensing, detecting dopamine at 23 nm due to its high conductivity and enhanced intercalation.
