A research team led by Dr. Mihri Ozkan, a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and an ETOX faculty member, has recently conducted an exhaustive analysis of extremely thin MXene and MBene compounds, which because of their large surface area, have the potential to absorb significant amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. If their research continues to be successful, these compounds will help reduce the harmful effects associated with climate change by safely capturing carbon dioxide. Their work has recently been published in the journal Chem and was the focus of a UCR News article. Our congratulations to Mihri and her collaborators for their innovative and impactful research.
