Nanopinion: The advent of XBenes - a new class of quasi two-dimensional nanomaterials, bringing forth a new paradigm in energy materials
Read the latest Nanopinion by Prof. Kabeer Jasuja and Satadru Chakrabarty where they introduce XBenes, a class of quasi two-dimensional nanomaterials, set to transform energy material research. With their unique structure, XBenes promise to deliver more sustainable energy solutions, offering a glimpse into the future of high-performance, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly materials.
"Due to this radical difference between the bulk material and its nanoscaled counterpart, we have recently proposed that these nanomaterials be aptly termed as XBenes, the X encompasses the new and exciting properties that these 2D nanomaterials display. The B in Benes stands for boron and -ene is a suffix commonly used for planar materials for example graphene."
Background
The EUON Nanopinion is a platform where different contributors ranging from policymakers and authorities to industry and civil society such as NGOs and researchers, share their views on their work and priorities related to nanomaterials in the EU.
