ERC Consolidator Grant · 2022
Emerging materials science and nanoscale engineering spawn extraordinary structures. During my ERC-StG, I discovered a new family of internally-ordered 3D atomic laminates that I coined i-MAX. More recently, these phases have been used to derive a new type of 2D solids, MXenes, with ordered vacancies. Here, I consolidate research to establish a world-leading research environment with a mission to understand and exploit yet wider classes of unique functional materials; the next generation of 2D materials, beyond MXenes, from selective etching of recurring layers in 3D precursor solids. Fundamental investigations of this project have as objectives to: 1) Use a theory-assisted search,…
