New paper published in Advanced Functional Materials on MXene for smart cities
We are excited to announce the publication of our latest collaborative perspective paper in Advanced Functional Materials, where we explore the role of MXene-enabled technologies in shaping the cities of tomorrow.
With over 60% of the world’s population now living in urban areas, the need for smart urbanization has never been greater. The concept of the smart city envisions a self-sufficient, responsive, and interactive urban environment—one that seamlessly integrates technology to enhance the well-being of its citizens. MXenes, a class of tunable 2D nanomaterials, are emerging as a key enabler of this transformation.
In this perspective, we outline how MXenes can drive sustainable urban development by advancing:
Self-sufficient and adaptive buildings that optimize energy, water, and air usage.
Next-generation IoT and telemedicine applications, overcoming technological barriers with their unique multifunctional properties. A roadmap for practical MXene integration, demonstrating their feasibility in real-world smart city infrastructures.
