Recovery of oxidized two-dimensional MXenes through high frequency nanoscale electromechanical vibration

Despite their vast potential, the practical deployment of MXenes has been hampered by their tendency to be oxidized. Here, the authors show that simply vibrating MXene films in just a minute can remove the oxide layer formed and restore their electrochemical performance close to its original state.
