Schematic of Mo2AlB2 and MoB MBene formation mechanisms in ZnCl2 molten salt

Caption

The Mo2AlB2 compound and 2D MoB nanosheets were synthesized by the deintercalation of Al from MoAlB through a ZnCl2 molten salt etching approach. The pure Mo2AlB2 phase was obtained at temperatures lower than 600 °C, and 2D MoB MBene was achieved at temperatures lower than 700 °C.
