New paper published on dilatometry of pillared MXene in Journal of Physical Chemistry C

New paper published in Journal of Physical Chemistry C on the origin of better long-term electrochemical performance of silica-pillared MXene. This unique material provides enhanced performance as an lithium-ion battery electrode (ca. 300 mAh/g at 20 mA/g rate). Although larger volume changes are seen for the pillared MXene, this is not a detriment to the cycling stability. This work was done in collaboration with the teams of Nuria Tapia-Ruiz (Lancaster University) and Nuno Bimbo (now: University of Southampton).
