MXenes are layered materials synthesized by selectively etching MAX phases, leading to a range of compositions and properties. Their surface terminations can be modified to enhance electrochemical ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Ion-transport-based sensory systems can be categorized into three groups – ionic sensors, ionic processors, and ionic interfaces – all of which center on ion transport. The ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Nanofluidic channels feature a unique unipolar ionic transport when properly designed and constructed. Recent research in nanofluidics has adopted reconstructed layered ...

New research results show how active transport of potassium can be achieved by a membrane protein complex that has roots in both ion pump and ion channel super-families. The results shed new light on ...

Lithium-ion batteries are notorious for being a fire hazard due to their flammable organic electrolytes. As such, there has been much effort to utilize water-based electrolytes as a safer alternative.
