Large-scale conformal synthesis of one-dimensional MAX phases.

ABSTRACT: MAX phases, a unique class of layered ternary compounds, along with their two-dimensional derivatives, MXenes, have drawn considerable attention in many fields. Notably, their one-dimensional (1D) counterpart exhibits more distinct properties and enhanced assemblability for broader applications. We propose a conformal synthetic route for 1D-MAX phases fabrication by integrating additional atoms into nanofibers template within a molten salt environment, enabling in-situ crystalline transformation. Several 1D-MAX phases are successfully synthesized on a large scale. Demonstrating its potential, a copper-based layer-by-layer composites containing 1% by volume of 1D-Ti₂AlC reinforced phase achieves an impressive 98 IACS% conductivity and a friction coefficient of 0.08, while maintai
