Abstract

Long-Term Oxidative Protection The cover illustrates the stabilization of MXenes, promising 2D materials constrained by rapid oxidation, achieving protection for more than 180 days. In their Research Article (10.1002/sstr.202500806) Chun Che Lin, Hung-Lung Chou, Huan-Tsung Chang, and co-workers demonstrate a bioinspired catechin passivation strategy in which polyphenolic catechin functions as an antioxidant, metal-chelator and surface-binding ligand to create durable, oxidation-resistant Ti3C2Tx nanosheets for sustainable high-performance applications.
