In Anasori Lab, we design novel MXenes structures and use them for a variety of applications, including materials for extreme environments, hypersonic materials, lighter and stronger composites, energy generation, electromagnetic interference shielding, and carbon capture and utilization.
Research:
- MXene-derived Carbides for Extreme Environments
- What Are 2D Transition Metal Carbides and Nitrides (MXenes)?
- Application-based Property Tuning
Babak is one of the inventors of a family of MXenes, ordered double-transition metal MXenes, as a result of his postdoctoral research, which was featured as one of the 2015's "biggest moments in chemistry" by the American Chemical Society.
Dr. Anasori's current research focuses on the synthesis and characterizations of novel MXenes and their metal and ceramic composites.
