Three members of our group have graduated or finished their term at Tulane. While we will miss them, we are very happy for them to start their careers:
Dr Kun Liang (Postdoctoral fellow 2019-2021), is now Professor at Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering.
Hudson McKinley (MS MSE 2021), is now a Battery Engineer at Tesla.
Shae Jolly (MS MSE 2021), is now a Battery Engineer at Advano.

Dr Naguib received NSF CAREER Award ($607,788) to study Synthesis of Novel Two-Dimensional Materials from Metastable Layered Materials.

Dr Naguib was hosted by Out to Lunch (of NPR) radio show that is aired on WWNO 89.9FM

Our recent paper titles "Synthesis of new two-dimensional titanium
carbonitride Ti2C0.5N0.5Tx MXene and its performance as an electrode
material for sodium-ion battery" that was published in InfoMat has
been featured as a cover for the journal December 2021 Issue.
Congratulation to Kun, Anika and all co-authors

Dr. Naguib has been listed as a Highly Cited Researchers by Clarivate.

Dr. Naguib receives the Rising Star Award from Tulane University during the the first Tulane University Research, Scholarship and Artistic Achievement Awards on, to honor outstanding Tulane scholars and recognize their exceptional research. (Tulane Press Release)

Our recent perspective article titled "Ten Years of Progress in the
Synthesis and Development of MXenes" that was written by the MXenes
inventors (M. Naguib, M.W. Barsoum and Y. Gogotsi) and published in
Advanced Materials as part of the journal celebration of 10th
anniversary of MXene discovery was featured as a cover for the
journal issue 39 (2021).

Our recent paper titled "Engineering the Interlayer Spacing by
Pre-Intercalation for High Performance Supercapacitor MXene
Electrodes in Room Temperature Ionic Liquid" that was published in
Advanced Functional Materials was featured as a cover for the
journal issue 33 (2021). This paper received lots of online media
attention such as UtilityDive, Inside Climate News, and Biz New Orleans.
Congratulations to Kun and all co-authors!
