Titanium carbide (Ti3C2)

Titanium carbide (Ti3C2) is a type of layered, conductive material known as a MAX phase, made of titanium, carbon, and other elements. It has a structure similar to a deck of cards, with thin layers that can slide over each other. This unique architecture gives Ti3C2 excellent electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength. It is commonly used in advanced applications like energy storage, electronics, and coatings, due to its ability to conduct electricity and withstand harsh environments. Its versatility and durability make it a promising material for developing next-generation batteries, sensors, and protective coatings.
