This book explores titanium-based MXenes, an emergent class of materials with a broad range of properties and potential applications. It introduces 3D MXene assemblies and compares their properties with other well-known two-dimensional materials like graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides.

* Focuses on emerging 2D titanium-based MXene (Ti3C2Tx and Ti2CTx) materials.

* Offers detailed synthetic strategies and scalable approaches.

* Covers defect engineering and physical properties.

* Compares the uniqueness of 2D titanium-based MXene with other 2D layered materials.

* Discusses 3D macrostructure of titanium-based MXenes and their practical application in photodetectors, catalysis energy storage devices, and biomedicines.

The first comprehensive book on the subject, this work is aimed at researchers in materials and electrical engineering and related disciplines.

About the Author

Han Zhang received his B.S. degree from Wuhan University in 2006 and Ph.D. from Nanyang Technological University in 2010. He is currently working as a distinguished Professor and Director College of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering Shenzhen University, Shenzhen 518060, China. His current research is on the ultrafast and nonlinear photonics of two-dimensional materials. He is currently the director of Shenzhen Key Laboratory of 2D Materials and Devices and Shenzhen Engineering Laboratory of Phosphorene and Optoelectronics, Shenzhen University.

Nasir Mahmood Abbasi received his master's degree in chemistry from the University of Karachi, Pakistan, and PhD in Chemical Engineering with a focus in nanoscale materials (Morphology and self-assembly of nanomaterial) from Zhejiang University, China in 2016. He worked as a postdoc fellow in the School of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering at Shenzhen University from June 2019- August 2021. After that worked as a scientist in a collaborative project in Nanjing university Biomedical engineering department (Butch/wang research group https://butchresearch.com) and Research and development unit of Nanjing nuoyuan medical devices company (October 2021 to October 2024). His research interests include hetero-structures and the macro-assemblies of nanoscale materials for their applications in energy, healthcare, and electronics.

Muhammad Tayyab obtained his Ph.D. in Material Science and Engineering with a specialization in Magnetic Optoelectronic Materials from Nanjing Tech University,China in 2021, has continued to expand his research pursuits. After serving as a postdoctoral researcher from 2023 oct to 2025 September at Nanjing Tech University, he has extended his expertise to Shenzhen University, China, where he currently holds a postdoctoral position. With a comprehensive background in energy generation, particularly focusing on triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) and piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs), and batteries as well as diverse interests encompassing sensors and actuators, optoelectronics,flexible electronics, and capacitors, Dr. Tayyab's contributions continue to drive advancements in sustainable energy solutions and advanced materials science. His dual postdoctoral experiences underscore his commitment to interdisciplinary research and collaborative exploration in academia.
