The aim to bridge the gap between industry and academia thereby establishing an ecosystem where research, innovation, and invention become the pinnacle of our progress. A research showcase of…
Supercapacitors with high energy-density, power, and long cycle-life have potential to outperform traditional batteries owing to their fast charging-discharging speed. This project aims to investigate a new class of two-dimensional materials, i.e. MXenes, as high-capacity pseudocapacitive material. Most of the current understanding of MXenes comes from titanium carbides whereas other materials are less-understood which will…
