Product features: Titanium aluminum carbide has the characteristics of both metals and ceramics: it has the same electrical and thermal conductivity as metals, as well as high elastic modulus and excellent high-temperature mechanical properties similar to ceramics. At the same time, it also has good thermal shock resistance, damage resistance, and excellent chemical corrosion resistance.

Titanium aluminum carbide (usually referred to as Ti 3 AlC ₂ or Ti ₂ AlC) is a MAX phase ceramic material with a unique layered structure (M represents transition metals, A represents main group elements, X represents carbon/nitrogen), which combines the conductivity and processability of metals with the high strength and high temperature resistance of ceramics. Its main applications can be summarized into the following four fields:

1、 Electronic and Electrochemical Applications

1. MXene precursor: By selectively etching the aluminum atomic layer with hydrofluoric acid (HF), it can be peeled off into two-dimensional material MXene (such as Ti 3C ₂ T ₓ), which has a graphene like structure and high conductivity, and is used for:

Lithium ion battery electrodes: improve charging and discharging rate and capacity;

Supercapacitors: High specific surface area enhances charge storage capacity;

Electrochemical catalysis: such as fuel cell catalyst carriers.

2. Electrodes and conductive components:

Directly used as capacitor electrodes, brush materials, or high-temperature heating elements, benefiting from its high conductivity (resistivity as low as 25 μ Ω· cm) and thermal stability.

2、 High temperature and structural applications

1. High temperature protective coating:

Self healing ability: Under high temperature, aluminum atoms diffuse to the surface and oxidize to form a dense Al ₂ O Ⅲ film, filling cracks and restoring mechanical properties. It is suitable for aircraft engine blades, high-temperature furnace liners, etc.

Antioxidant activity: It can work stably for a long time above 1200 ℃.

2. Wear resistant and corrosion-resistant components:

Used for corrosion-resistant coatings on chemical equipment, cutting tools, bearings, etc., it has high hardness, low friction coefficient, and acid alkali corrosion resistance.

3. Welding and toughening:

Under high temperature, interlayer self welding is achieved through aluminum diffusion, significantly improving the fracture toughness of layered composite materials.

3、 Functional material precursors and composite materials

1. Conductive self-lubricating ceramic: weak interlayer bonding makes it easy to shear and slide, reducing friction loss, used for mechanical seals.

2. Thermoelectric materials: The Ti 3 AlC ₂ doped system can convert waste heat into electrical energy and is suitable for power generation devices in the medium temperature range (500-800 ℃).

3. Reinforcing phase: As a reinforcing phase in metal or ceramic based composite materials, it enhances thermal conductivity, thermal shock resistance, and mechanical strength.

4、 Emerging fields: Sensors and Biomedicine

1. Electrochemiluminescence sensor:

MXene derived nanomaterials (such as Ti 3 C ₂ T ₓ quantum dots) are used for high-sensitivity detection of tumor genes (such as miRNA-187), extracellular vesicles, and other biomarkers, promoting early diagnosis of cancer.

2. Biocompatible coating: The corrosion resistance and surface modification potential of MAX phase have application prospects in implantable medical devices.

Packaging and storage: This product is packaged in an inert gas filled plastic bag, sealed and stored in a dry and cool environment. It should not be exposed to air to prevent moisture from causing oxidation and aggregation, which may affect dispersion performance and usage effectiveness; The packaging quantity can be provided in separate packages according to customer requirements.
