The quest for sustainable materials with advanced functionalities has led to the development of a novel class of composites known as Cellulose-MXene. This innovative material, developed by researchers at Nanjing Forestry University and the University of Bayreuth, combines the abundant and renewable resource of cellulose with the remarkable properties of MXene, a family of two-dimensional transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides. The work is published in the Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts.
