Researchers effectively exploited the unique properties of MXene to enhance the sensing performance of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors. By spin-coating a thin layer of MXene nanosheets on the plasmonic substrate, the reflectivity can be significantly reduced, which results in a sharp phase change at the SPR angle.
Researchers developed a method to assemble 2D nanosheets like MXene in 3D configurations using an infiltrated porous ceramic scaffold. This overcomes nanosheet restacking and may enable advances in energy, electronics, catalysis and more.
