Project Abstract

This project aims to develop ultra-high energy density Lithium-Sulphur batteries for electric vehicles. The MXEnergy project proposes a technical solution that will overcome energy density concerns existing in conventional battery technologies. The project proposes a next-generation cell chemistry specifically tailored to meet EV requirements. The project aims to leverage the unique and exceptional properties of MXenes through a statistically optimized synthetic procedure that will allow for precise control over their morphology.
