Lines of fields
The Millennium Nucleus of Advanced MXenes for Sustainable Applications aims to establish itself as a cutting-edge research center dedicated to the synthesis of MXenes in Chile. Our research lines focus on the optimization of MXenes for applications in catalysis, gas sensors, and tribology.

Optimization of MXenes for applications in catalysis
Generation of multilayer systems via sputterin to adjust the chemistry and stoichiometry, in addition to the development of protocols for the thermal treatment of the multilayers.

Optimization of MXenes for applications in gas sensors
Design of protocols for the chemical attack (etching) of the MAX phase deposited in the form of multilayers.

Optimization of MXenes for applications in tribology
Applications of MXenes thin films in catalysis, gas sensors and tribology.
