Abstract:
MAX phases, a unique class of layered ternary compounds, along with their two-dimensional derivatives, MXenes, have drawn considerable attention in many fields. Notably, their one-dimensional (1D) counterpart exhibits more distinct properties and enhanced assemblability for broader applications. We propose a conformal synthetic route for 1D-MAX phases fabrication by integrating additional atoms into nanofibers template within a molten salt environment, enabling in-situ crystalline transformation. Several 1D-MAX phases are successfully synthesized on a large scale. Demonstrating its potential, a copper-based layer-by-layer composites containing 1% by volume of 1D-Ti2AlC reinforced phase achieves an impressive 98 IACS% conductivity and a friction coefficient of 0.08, while maintaining mechanical properties comparable to other Cu-MAX phase composites, making it suitable for advanced industrial areas. This strategy may promise opportunities for the fabrication of various 1D-MAX phases.

The chair form is the most stable and derives its name from its resemblance to the “easy chair.” In the chair conformation, two carbon atoms are arranged out-of-plane — one above and one below, minimizing the torsional strain. In the chair form, the bond angle is very close to the ideal...
