Spray-on Loudspeaker
Process
The process starts with selective etching of MAX phase (Ti3Al2O), followed by delamination using lithium chloride to create MXene (Ti3C2X) in a water soluble solution.

Creating aqueous electronic paint
Spray coating a voice coil trace
Many trace designs were characterized
Sound pressure levels were taken in a range of audible human frequencies
A final model was made using the best voice coil design
This project was done in with Engineer Thomas Heng with advising from Asia Sarycheva, Katie Van Aken, and other team members in the Nanomaterials Group.
Special thanks to Dr. Yury Gogotsi for hosting our project at the A.J. Drexel Nanomaterials Institute.
