MXenes are a family of two-dimensional materials synthesized by etching select elements from a parent MAX crystal. Aided by their ability to undergo surface group transformations, MXenes offer researchers a larger design space when compared to other families of 2D materials such as graphene and transitionmetal dichalcogenides [1]. In fact, recent work has shown that modifying surface groups can lead to giant (18%) lattice expansions, as in the case of Ti3C2Te, and superconductivity in bare (no surface group) Niobium MXenes[2].
