Synthesis and Investigation of Oxygen-Functionalized Mxenes with Ultrahigh Thermal Conductivity
Abstract
This effort will perform an experimental study to predicatively design, synthesize, and characterize unique oxygen-functionalized 2D transition-metal carbides (MXenes) with ultrahigh thermal conductivity. The development of ultrahigh thermal conductivity materials provides the potential to dramatically improve the thermal management of future electronic and optoelectronic systems. In this explorative project, we propose the first experimental study to predicatively design, synthesize, and characterize unique oxygen-functionalized 2D transition-metal carbides (MXenes) with ultrahigh thermal conductivity, which could significantly enhance the heat dissipation for improved cooling and thermal management for future potential applications as reliable heat spreader in high-power directed energy systems, radar, RF communications, and lasers. The experimental research will be coupled with theoretical modeling in the future to establish the systematic understanding of the thermal transport in these novel 2D materials.
