Cost-effective synthesis of vanadium carbide MXene from recycled waste precursors for phase change material applications in heat sink cooling

In this study, a cost-effective synthesis route is proposed for vanadium aluminium carbide (V2AlC) MAX phase, using carbon (C) derived from the pyrolysis of waste rubber tires, and aluminium (Al) powder sourced from recycled beverage cans. This V2AlC was further utilized to synthesize vanadium carbi...
