Breakthroughs in Water Purification: A New MOF and MXene Combination

MXenes, a unique type of two-dimensional lamellar material, have gained a lot of attention lately. However, they have a tendency to collapse and stack due to hydrogen bonding and interlayer van der Waals forces, which hurts their performance in electrochemical processes and capacitive deionization.
