MXene and MBene compounds hold promise for new technologies to combat climate change. Some of the thinnest materials known to humankind — MXene and MBene compounds — may provide solutions to scientists in their quest to curb the effects of global warming. These substances are only a few atoms thick, making them two-dimensional. Because of their large surface area, the materials have the potential to absorb CO2 molecules from the atmosphere, which could help reduce the harmful effects of climate change by safely sequestering carbon dioxide, according to a review study.
