Abstract
MXenes, first discovered in 2011, are two-dimensional transition metal carbides or nitrides. Because of their interesting electrical and optical properties, they are studied for applications in batteries, supercapacitors and electrocatalysis. However, MXenes are rarely used in heterogeneous catalysis and, to our knowledge, there are no reports on the use of oxidized MXenes in catalysis.
