Energy conversion and optical applications of MXene quantum dots
Source abstract
Abstract
Nanotechnologies known as a developing applied science have significant global socioeconomic values and many advantages obtained from nanoscale materials. Its applications can have significant effects on the performance of organizations. The advance of two-dimensional (2D) MXene-derived QDs (MQDs) is currently in the initial stages. Scholars have shown distinguished optical, electronic, thermal and mechanical attributes by surface chemistry and versatile transition metal. In this field of study, many applications are introduced like energy electromagnetic interference shielding, storage, sensors, transparent electrodes, photothermal therapy, catalysis and so on. The vast range of optical absorption attributes of MQDs along with high electronic conductivity has been detected to be key attributes because of their achievement in the mentioned usages. Currently, relatively little materials are highly known because of their basic electronic and optical properties, which can limit their full potentials. From a theoretical and experimental point of view, in this work, electronic and optical properties of MQDs along with applications corresponding to those properties were evaluated.
