About this ebook

MXene Quantum Dots: Fundamentals to Applications investigates MXene-derived quantum dots, from fundamentals to synthesis and applications. It provides a comprehensive understanding of what MXene quantum dots are, their properties, and their synthesis methods, including knowledge of their composition, structure, and unique characteristics, as well as offering insights into a range of applications for these materials. The book covers the specific methods and techniques used to synthesize MXene quantum dots, including precursor materials, synthesis conditions, and post-synthesis treatments.In addition, it provides crucial understanding of the optical and electronic properties of MXene quantum dots, which play a significant role in their use in optoelectronics, energy conversion, storage devices, sensors, bioimaging, catalysis, and other emerging applications. The advantages and challenges associated with their applications are also addressed, as are the safety considerations and potential environmental impacts associated with their synthesis, handling, and disposal. - Covers the specific methods and techniques used to synthesize and characterize MXene quantum dots - Analyzes a range of cutting-edge applications of these emerging materials - Provides comprehensive information for a multidisciplinary audience who wants to learn more about or further develop MXene quantum dot technology

About the author

Poushali Das is a senior postdoctoral research fellow at McMaster University's Faculty of Engineering, Hamilton, Canada. Her research interests include multifunctional luminescent quantum dots and their applications in sensors, antioxidant properties, and the biomedical field, polymer–quantum dot nanocomposites, MXene–polymer nanocomposites, and sonochemical synthesis of nanocomposites.

Andreas Rosenkranz is a professor of material-oriented tribology and new 2D materials in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology, and Materials at the University of Chile, Santiago, Chile. His research focuses on the characterization, chemical functionalization, and application of 2D materials. His main field of research relates to tribology, but recently he has also expanded his fields towards water purification, catalysis, and biological properties.

Sayan Ganguly is a researcher at the University of Waterloo, Canada. His primary research interests include superabsorbent hydrogels, polymer-graphene nanocomposites, MXene-polymer systems, 3D printing, polymer composites for EMI shielding, and conducting polymer composites.
