SAFARI: Pioneering Sustainable MXene-Graphene Hybrids for Next-Gen Materials

Discover the Future of Materials with the SAFARI Project

A Brief History of MXenes:
In 2011, Drexel University scientists unveiled a groundbreaking family of 2D materials: MXenes. These transition metal carbides, carbonitriles, and nitrides quickly captured the attention of researchers worldwide. Since their discovery, thousands of publications have emerged, exploring MXenes’ exotic and superior properties.

Why Scientists are Excited About MXenes

• Exceptional electrical and optical properties

• Impressive energy storage capabilities

• High conductivity

• Versatile sensing applications

The SAFARI Project: Pushing the Boundaries of MXene Research

The SAFARI project, a 42-month research and innovation initiative funded by the European Commission’s Horizon Europe program, is now advancing MXene research:

• Developing MXenes-graphene hybrids

• Replacing costly silver inks in electronics

• Creating ultra-sensitive biosensors

• Advancing EMI shielding technology

SAFARI’s Commitment to Innovation

• Sustainable production methods

• Non-toxic processes

• Cutting-edge applications

The project focuses on creating hybrid formulations of MXenes and Graphene , which possess unique properties such as thermal stability and electrical conductivity. SAFARI aims to develop safe and sustainable 2D materials that can be used in a wide range of applications, including biosensors, conductive inks, and EMI shielding.
