"no: strict handling regulations, special/ expensive lab equipment, costly waste disposal... short electrical pulsing improves electrochemical etching. initiates reaction at interfaces, breaking aluminium bonds in MAX phase... only aluminium atoms removed, leaving electrochemical MXenes with small hydrogen bubbles forming on MAX phase materials, cleaning/ reactivating the surface, sustaining reaction for longer period/ large EC-MXenes quantity produced... electromagnetic shielding, energy storage, sensors, solid lubricants"
